Don't laugh, but I've got the same 3 frogs/rats for the last 3 years. I just don't use them that often. I find myself pitching a Super Fluke or weightless creature bait instead, and working it back to the boat like I would a frog. I guess I'm just too lazy to cut and tie on that frog to my jigging stick.

Mine seldom make it more than a summer at a time. I probably throw them more than any other bait in my locations.

I've just been using super glue to repair some plastics and to secure my jig trailers, I have not tried the Pros Soft Bait Glue yet, so I'll ask what make it that much better than the other stuff? anyone...

I have been using a craft glue that I got at one of the craft stores. It is designed for plasitcs and rubber. It is safe in water and it doesn't harden like the the super glue does.
For on the fly repairs, I use a batter operated soldering gun that melts them back together.

I have a few if anyone wants one. You won't have to pay for it. I'll send it free. They work great for cutting braid too. It melts the end so it doesn't fray! I keep one in the tackle bag all the time.
Do you still have them. I would take one if you still have one.
Thanks
