Location: Almost Heaven | What are some the ways you guys use to fasten soft tails to the end of baits? Thanks |

| I bend wire like a corkscrew and epoxy into the tail of the lure. The wire end that's epoxied I bend in an "L" or small loop. That way you can keep the hole you drill in the tail smaller and it will still hold well. |

| I screw in a deck screw and cut off the excess with a Knipex. For bonding, I haven't found anything better than Fletch-It archery adhesive. I use it for feathers and nocks and once you get just a little on the threads of the deck screw you screw on the tail and it stays put. I used it to secure some polycarbonate lips on some prototype crank baits that I made and I couldn't get them back out. The stuff is amazing, dries rapidly and can be used for many things. |
