finlander Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 Will ProSoft glue work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodsac Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 I think so. That Pro Soft Bait Glue glues anything and everything, plastics, hooks, sinkers, fingers Honestly, I think it will work. You might want to rough up the part of the lip that will be inserted into the bait with some sandpaper 1st just to be safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeminoleFan Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 I would also suggest you drill a hole into the back of the lip to give the lexan and glue more space to lock in..JMHO Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finlander Posted January 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 Thanks for the reply. I asked this a month ago but did not recieve one response..

GB GONE Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 This is a good question that I have been tinkering with. I'm trying to design a small head with the lip attached that I can pour the plastic around....such as the mask baits from Jackall bros. It would be more sturdy and once you have the head, if the fish chew the plastic up you could just re-pour again!!! Or do you remember the berkley baits with the soft tail you just attached. Front end of lure is hard plastic and has treble. I still have a few of those Let me know how the glue works out!!! Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have a few of those Jim Not to hijack the subject but have you ever caught anything with the Berkley lures? I have been thinking about making some foam/plastic crawdads and salamanders using this technique. This is a good question that I have been tinkering with. I'm trying to design a small head with the lip attached that I can pour the plastic around....such as the mask baits from Jackall bros. I used to have some leadheads that had a small spinnerbait blade lip cast into them that were used for soft plastics. they worked fairly well with small worms and swimbaits but had more wobble than I liked. this might work for what you are trying to do.

GB GONE Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 I have caught fish on the berkley baits but after a couple, the tail gets loose and eventually the tail just casts off. I think that the hybrid of soft and hard baits has a lot of potential as the fish don't see this combo often, if ever. A lot of bait companies think so to as they are all starting to produce lures that combine the 2. Soft over hard "supposedly" helps the bait stay in the fish's mouth longer so you have more time to set the hook. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
