Plastics wear and tear

[Raskal311]

Dave where did you order these from?

If your baits are get torn off you can hot knife them at home and get more life out of them. Don't use superglue because once you glue them you can't heat them up and stick them back together.

This is the winner, I've talked to Corey from MC swimbaits and he recommended the hot knife technique. If you glue it back together you lose flexibility in that area of the bait causing it to swim abnormal. I save my torn baits then hot knife at home and they are as good as new for the next trip.

After trying out those Zman lures, I do have to say, they are definitely a nice lure and they last all day! Thanks Wade!

At their web site. I do have to count points against them on shipping speed, they are s l o w. But it is worth the wait.

Ken, I can't drive a nail straight, you want me to do surgery on some plastic with a hot knife?

Besides, I think that even with surgery the Zman's will outlast the regular plastics. I can pull on those things and stretch them out 3' and they don't rip, tear or come off the head. They do slip down a little though but slide right back on.
