While rigging up some plastic last night for the spring I tried a bottle of this stuff I picked up at the boat show...The only difference I see between this and the off the shelf super glues is the price, I rigged one bait with it and the next bait with the regular stuff...both worked exactly the same only one was $9.00 more a bottle....think I will save my money from now on...another product made to catch fisherman.Its a rip off...........

So which super-glue off the shelf product do you use? I have struggled with super-glue and always seem to glue my fingers together:wall: Can never get just a dab of it where I want it... then again, I failed art in grade school... :doh:

not only is it more expensive, but if you dont cap the bottle between uses, it will harden up like a rock-

Flex-Zap II is what i recommend for my eels, be it gluing in eyes, or repairing tears, or rigging.. locktight has a gel superglue you can get at walmart thats pretty good too-

Joe at SRI sells the flexzap too so your supporting a board sponsor :D

if you use a gel style glue like the ones i recomend above, you will rarely glue your fingers together as it doesnt run at all-

I sew all my plastic baits to hook while watching TV. Use either fishing line, heavy thread or the waxed string used to sew leather. They work great. Never slip.

I really like the loctite 'gel control' from wally-world too. Easy to put exactly the right amount in exactly he right spot. I found it dries clear unlike some of the other super-glues that turn opaque/white so its great for finishing of the heads of flies.
