swedes67 Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 Is there a glue/adhesive for glue eyes on to soft plastic baits? I've tried a couple different ones but the eyes still fall off. Thanks inadvance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stephen Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 Being new to this I starete using "zap a gap" and holy cow it sets the standard for superglue. I install them after the plastic has cooled and before oiling....Im impressed. You might find it at a local fly shop...as they use it on flys and knots.

Red's Baits Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 I have used Bears and you gotta dip the eyes after you glue them on. I have found this to be the best and you don't have to dip it. http://www.prosoftbaitglue.com/ I use it on frogs and swimbaits. It don't take much ether.

Romeo D Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 For the money, You can't beat zap a gap or Loctite's Super glue for plastic. I've used Pro Soft Glue in the past and had 3 bottles go to waste before I even got to finish using it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need for dipping and they stay on after they get wet and get bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piscivorous Pike Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 Is there a glue/adhesive for glue eyes on to soft plastic baits? I've tried a couple different ones but the eyes still fall off. Thanks inadvance. What a dummy, me, I erased my post five times! Surehold makes PLASTIC SURGERY, a super glue that has a solvent that makes the glue penetrate and form a weld! Best plastic glue I have found, it does soft plastic, including plastisol. Walgreens carries SureHold but not Plastic Surgery locally for me so I get mine from Amazon for slightly more than a Dollar. I have seen it hawked at very high prices so be carefule if you buy on line. I glue eyes and skirts, even silicone skirts. I use it on all plastics and anything else, even stitched up flesh wounds with it! I make creatures too with it. Their site is: My linkhttp://www.surehold....urgery-302.html my work is: (click on thumb to enlarge) This glue belongs right along with duct tape and bailing wire!!

mark poulson Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 I use Mend It. It is actually the same plastic as the bait, but with some kind of a solvent that keeps it liquid at room temps, I think. I like it because it's totally transparent, too. I tried Zap A Gap, but it seemed to cloud the eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
