I had a musky nip my tail off my squirrely hellhound the other day.
When I go to re glue a tail back on it will not stick at all. Is there a special superglue I should use to attach soft plastics too hard plastic lures? Never has this problem with wooden glidebait. Would epoxy be good?

Thank u

Super glue, push harder than you would think, hold it for about a minute. I let em' sit for a couple hours if I can.

I use the .99 cent stuff, too and never had an issue with squirko tails, phantoms, basement customs...

You can also run a small screw into the bait that will help too. I put a plastic drywall screw into a hardhead, works great too.

Make sure you scrape off the old glue and lightly sand the area. I had a problem with them not sticking until I removed the old glue.
