Mend-It for life 🤙🏼. Been using it for a while and has saved me countless baits. Once I’ve repaired the tear I also like to apply a thin coat over the seam.

[@Saltstrong]

Thanks for the tip!

[@jimmybritt9537]

Never knew they were repairable , nice demo . You got to show the franken lures in action . I bet the dark body with silver tail out performs the other 😂🤣👍👍🇺🇸

[@Saltstrong]

Thanks for checking it out!

[@clarenceelliott9009]

That's what I was waiting for! The test on the water!

[@Saltstrong]

Thanks for checking it out!

[@jasonmoore6419]

I'm diggin that Frankenstein design especially in a FRED and Shady combo... I'm going to try it with some of my bombers and see what happens. Good video!

[@Saltstrong]

Thanks for the support! Let us know what you think when you try it out!

[@rayboyet1932]

Franken lure demo is a must..in all water conditions...clear, stained,..muddy..

[@Saltstrong]

Thanks for checking it out!

[@dle7725]

I've been wondering about this for some time. Thanks for taking the time to put this comparison in action. Definitely curious to see them get wet and see how the fish react

[@Saltstrong]

Glad it was helpful!

[@redsky8509]

Thank you, and yes always wanting to learn more, part II, would be great.

[@Saltstrong]

Noted!

[@jelly_fishing]

Definitely Matt - would like to see the impact on the water !!!

[@Saltstrong]

Thanks for checking it out!

[@jamesscarberry3128]

Great information I already use Mend-it for my bass swimbaits. But forget to take it with when I go to the coast. But I always put a Bic lighter in all of my tackle boxes and use it to melt mend torn plastics.

[@Saltstrong]

Thanks for the feedback and for watching the video!

[@samuelhernandez416]

Yes, interested for part 2

[@Saltstrong]

Thanks for checking it out!

[@CentralCoastBassFishing]

Matt, thank you for a great video. We’re glad you like our Mend-it soft bait glue. We came out with Mend-it in 2008 while Spike-it copied us around 2014. Let me know when you need another bottle of Mend it Will.

[@Saltstrong]

Sounds great! Thank you!

[@jamesscarberry3128]

And yes you need to do a part 2 !

[@aaronhiggs]

Ive used good ole super glue for years.. works good enough. I tried both and they work the same IMHO. I use Zman usually, so I dont have worry.

[@Saltstrong]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@jordanrivera142]

i noticed you where using the Bull bay Bolt. You guys definitely need to make a rod review of it!

[@BigSteve34]

It’s a great rod I love mine

[@Saltstrong]

Noted! Thanks for checking it out!

[@88mph54]

I can’t wait to see the results. You should also try with the Dr. Juice. To see if that affects the bond?

[@Saltstrong]

[@rvotbeats]

hey I caught a couple flounders on the Slam shady bomber today!

[@Saltstrong]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing!

[@rvotbeats]

@@Saltstrong Yes sir! 🎣

[@wmpx34]

I doubt any of them will fall apart just from being out in the water, but I wonder how well they’ll stand up to a big fish striking them. I bet the glued and repaired section is just as strong as the rest of the lure though. Even if you just got one more fish out of each them it’s still worth it, anyway.

[@Saltstrong]

Thanks for your feedback!

[@comfortablynumb9342]

Cool products but do they make the lure smell to the fish? Y'all taught us that scent matters to fish so it's a good question. I like the idea of making Frankenstein baits out of old torn up lures.

[@TravisInCanada1]

So its CA glue in a nail polish bottle?

[@davidleeroth9846]

Absolutely wanna see in action especially the Franken bombers

[@Saltstrong]

Coming soon!

[@bobbyk3469]

Will this work for both PVC and TPE? I've got some Savage Gear eels that need help.

[@nasaman23]

So it's basically liquid cement?

[@Saltstrong]

These products don't leave a smell, where liquid cement would.

[@Falconer2407]

Mend it FTW, the only glue ill use on my Yamamoto baits..

[@Saltstrong]

👍

[@AK-ms5zk]

I thought you just melt it together with a lighter?🤷🏾‍♂️ in the Jim Rizzuto “Fishing in Hawaii” book that’s a fishing hack

Dollar store superglue works just as well, 4 tubes for $1. Waaaaay cheaper.

[@Saltstrong]

Thanks for the tip!

[@jamesbarron1202]

Here’s another one you can try. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p4K9pGObn7Keras I’ve never used it. I use Mend-it.

[@Saltstrong]

Thanks for sharing!

[@softballbryan]

I'd like to see this guy do a Macho Man Randy Savage impersonation..... He's close as is now...

[@Saltstrong]

That would be great!

[@mgarwatoski]

At about 50 cents per bomber I’m more likely to throw it away then spend the time and money to “mend-it”. YMMV
