Location: Oconomowc, WI		If anyone is looking to repair some plastics baits Mend-it works great. Had a bulldawg that was literally cut in half by a musky and now it's as good as new!

Location: Land of the Musky		Key with Mend-It is to let the bait sit for at least an hour. 24 hours is best. Need to let the solvent evaporate completely to give the new bond maximum adherence. If you want to fix and fish, use a small lighter torch. Uglier but you are fishing right away.

Location: Land of the Musky		Found this old video I made a few years ago.

Even if you have old swimbaits with no tails, don't throw them away. I make extra tails, Shack Attack has some, Tyrant Tackle may have some, etc. You can even use big bodies grub tails to fix your old swimbaits back up and my customers swear by this....the uglier and more grotesque a swimbait is, the more fish it boats.
