Just super glue in the tai.l It'll hold. If you have the post still super glue that in first. It'll be fine without it.

As others have stated super glue tail in it will be fine. They had a bad batch a few years back where this happened. I glued my tails in and caught alot of fish on them. None of the new ones I have, have had any issues.
If you want them replaced contact Musky Innovations they will take care of you.

I had this happen after a couple fish on a mag invader a couple years ago. I used a two part epoxy and put the stud back in place, then I reattached the tail. I trust the epoxy more than super glue.

I went one step further and drilled two small holes through the body and tail and put a small piece of bucktail wire through along with some epoxy. Has held strong and also added a little weight to make the rise a little slower.
