The best way that I have found was to use glue to do the repairs. It will fix tears and some of the other things. It is hard to get enough heat to melt these so that is not a good option. As far as the hook holes, that lower fin gets pretty beat up after time I just keep trying to attatch the hook the best I can.
The Dunwrights hold up better than the other plastics but sooner or later you have to just replace them.
They sure do catch fish

Since the 3X plastic is an elastomer I doubt Mend It will work on it. Mend it is made for plastisol baits.

I have used the glue that Hawgseekers sells and it worked well. I also have used super glue and that worked.
