Superglue on lures

[ireallylovefishies22]

Morning raiders,

Lately been having a problem with lures getting pantsed. Almost every time the lure comes back to me its been pushed back onto the jighead. I use zman and zerek lures/

Ive heard of people using superglue to prevent this, but i'm just wondering if the smell of superglue would decrease the amount of bites i get. 

Any thoughts on this?

The smell goes away once the glue sets. The gel type glues seem to work better. Be aware if you have the wrong combination of glue and plastic the plastic can melt.

This is common practice with Z-mans, because the 10x tough properties can make them difficult to stay in place.

Getting 'pantsed' happens a lot for me when fishing with weedless hooks. Personally, I'm just resigned to fixing the lure every time a fish touches it. But if it starts to bother me, I'll use a dab of superglue.

If your using the glue,the best one I have found is the loctite gel. As others have said some glues react with the plastics and you will get the top part you glued on and then the rest of the plastic will rip off

If you don't want to use superglue, take a look at the second way this guy does it. Fast forward through to about 4:25 to see. This is how I do it and it works a treat.

If it is ZMan you are using ask the Agents. I read an article by them over a year ago on problems with their lures.

ZMan are totaly different to other lures.

Good luck.

Agreed. Too much superglue will melt a ZMan, though a small drop doesn’t seem to effect them.
