Tackle Bag Strap

[osmy22]

I need a Clever idea for the repair of my tackle bag. The plastic fixture that holds the shoulder strap to the tackle bag cracked off. Now I have loose strap that needs fastening. Help!  >

The same thing happened to me on the first tackle bag I ever had.  Not the best looking bag on the lake, but it works.  

I took some line and just wrapped it around the two pieces that hold it together.  If that doesnt make sense, it is just replacing the plastic fixture with fishing line.  

It is actually stronger than the plastic fixture that was originally holding the strap to the bag.

Thanks for giving it some thought.  It is actually my second Pfleuger Supreme 370.  They are pretty durable for the most part.  I have no complaints.  I think heavy gauge tie wrap may work also, huh?

I always keep some of my old power pro braided line to fix things like this. I just sew it up and it never gives me another problem.

Use a zip tie or two

I'm not sure exactly what broke, but in the past I've done repairs and/or lengthened the strap with large split rings, like 2" diameter, and these gizmos, both widely available in hardware stores.

Like marty said, I usually replace any plastic pieces with large split rings and those clips. Any hardware store should have a bunch of different parts that with a little imagination you can make work to your liking

I think the tie wrap is the way to go with my bag.  I will probably use some flex cuffs.  A large split ring may also do the trick.  You see my bag never had those clips.  THe ends on both the strap and bag are stitched closed.  thanks
