Those of you that glue your baits to the jig head is there a special brand that you like or one that works better then others? Would Soft Bait Glue adhere to the jig head? The reason I ask this is the other day I was shooting some docks with a really soft bait and after a few shots it was splitting. Had a off brand of glue on board so I tried it. Did not hold up very well.
I don't know if the stuff they sell on fishing sites is any different from any other super glue. I use it a lot and just pick up whatever at Home depot.
Splitting? Are you using a head with a barbed holder? I use all collar-less heads and eliminate that splitting stuff entirely.
I get my super glue from the Dollar Tree. Works well. Just one drop on a jighead. I use jigs with no collar.
When you shoot docks, be sure you are holding the jighead and not the plastic lure. Works better - no splitting and better accuracy.
we use gorilla superglue it is fantastic we do not have any problems we guarantee you will not pull your plastic off it will tear it in half we buy it by the case. It's a little bit more money but is well worth it.
I use jig heads without barbed collars and I buy my super glue at WalMart
We have been using this style on Ky. Lake for a while and they are the best for the soft Garland type plastic baits. No glue. Stays put and no tearing. Do-It has 2 kinds of molds. http://do-itmolds.com/shop/index.php...&path=1_7_2083

looking good.
Super glue Walmart,dollar tree,they are find,but have found that some bottles ,would have to wait a little longer befor using it,1or 2 minutes,may be older,but have seen many bottles that way. I just use a different rod until I think it is really cured
I use CA glue from hobbytown, their brand is just like name brand for much less you can get a 4oz bottle for 20.00, works very good for me plus its nice to always have some around for other things and with a 4oz bottle it will last a long time. 4oz. Pro Ca+Glue Medium plus a drop on your buddies spool when he aint looking is good for a laugh
I use the gorilla glue also.
I used this product, back when I was using glue :

Bonds/dries in less than a minute, did not affect the bite, and was easy to apply. Did not dry out like the Super Glue that comes in a "toothpaste" type tube, or brush on bottle, even after many months of non-use.
Hollow tubes would remain afixed to the jighead, until they were either picked clean of their tails by Bluegill or I scraped them off, myself, with a pocketknife Rofl
... cp :cool:
I change tails too often to glue anything down. Besides me and superglue don't get along very well. I tried some of the wire keeper jig heads and wasn't impressed. DO-IT may have a better wire or not, but I don't find I need it. Tanged heads for hollow tails and uncollared ones for solid tails works well enough for me that I don't feel it necessary to mess around with more things to carry. I don't have any splitting problems with the 32nd oz tanged heads on the larger solid bodied tails either. IMO A lot of that has to do with the quality of the plastic they are made out of. Some of the more active plastics also hold together a lot better than some of the cheaper ones. It doesn't seem to me like it is even so much the hardness but rather the internal cohesion of the material. Some tear real easy some don't. The first bend on the sickle hooks will also help keep the tails up for those that use them.
