Sebile Magic Swimmer Soft FINALLY produces!!! Now a problem...

[webertime]

I've been tossing 5" Magic Swimmer Soft since mid April up here.  I had a few hits, but never landed anything.  I really got kinda bummed out about them, $15 wasted I thought.  I relegated them to by 2nd rod/"why the heck not" time.  Today I had 3 hours to kill before we had guests and I went up to my local pond. 

I've already pulled a 7, 6.6, 6 and a few 5's out of there so I know it's got some good fish, but it's usually one good fish a couple smaller ones and about 2.4million G.D. Pickerel...

Today nothing was working (Ika, Senko, Subwalk, Rage Shad, Ribbit) so I tied on the Sebile and for the first time gave it a good rubbing with Mega Strike.  First cast 5lbs... hmmm 2 casts later, 6lbs, I went on like this for the next hour, 5 Largemouth over 5lbs, a few 2's, a huge Pickerel (5lbs.) and even a Perch that was only 2 inches bigger than Sebile!  It was a great 3 hours, just an epic afternoon.

Now the problem...  The Sebiles are torn up as all get out. Still have most of the print and all the sections are fine but the nose and the hole in the back where you push the hook through are all bored out and torn.  What is the best way to repair plastics?  mend-it?  Lighter and a paper-clip? something else?

I think you may have to suck it up and buy another pack

Wow! Congrats on your great fishing day, Mend It might pick you up a few extra fish but even it doesn't I would say you got your money's worth.

I love those soft magic swimmers. I have been getting extra life by using mendit at first and then soft bait glue when they get too shredded for mendit.

Mend-it as you mentioned. just one little tip, when you apply the glue to the bait the bait will break all along the places it was damaged, worse holes than it had in theory, don 't freak out, the glue melts the plastic all you need to do is to press the nose of the bait and hold for a few seconds so the tear can join, then release the pressure and allow the glue to dry ( a few minutes ), ther you have the bait will be reapaired and ready to use again.
