Any of you fellows use super glue to glue bodies to your hook, if so how in the world do you keep the nozzle from clogging, I try to wipe it off, tap the bottle and few times to make sure there is no glue up in nozzle, then press bottle to make sure air is coming out. It seem to me just everytime I need to use it the thing is clogged.+Cross+
Yeah they clog pretty easily. Almost a one time use then dispose. Harbor Freight has glue cheap.
I agree super Dave that’s what I use, but don’t like the one and done thing though.
I started using Super Glue in the little tubes, but ran into the same problem. Then I found this : Robot or human? and it does the job ... but, you can't leave it sit for months & months or it's gonna harden up and clog the nozzle.
I use the Loctite gel that CP referred to above, always store it up right. It lasts longer than the others I have tried.
Just take a knife and scrape the hardened stuff off the tip.
And you can also just trim the tip back a bit.
Mine last for quite awhile by doing that.
And yes the cheap stuff at Harbor Freight or Northern Tool works well for that.
I use a fly tying vise to wrap unwaxed dental floss around the hook shank. Then a little glue, then the plastic body.
I find that if you store the superglue tubes with the tip up , they are much less likely to clog.
I buy the multipaks of the small tubes.

I hadnt thought about storing them upright, but that is how i store them as well.Quote:

I’ve been using the gorilla glue super glue and been using it for 4+ months. It has a tip in the cap to prevent it from gluing shut

I never glue on my jig body , if you couple the right plastic with the right hook and get it on the hook right , you shouldn't need it either , just saying ....:highfive
Good advice on the storage. I store Marine GOOP thisxway. I wonder if it would work like the super glue you fellas are using? :dono It’s a lil more gummy so it might be to messy. I think it would work well adhering bodies ti jig heads though. JM2CQuote:

I can dip all day with one body if glued correctly, never seen it done in my boat without glue. :cheers2Quote:

He who changes baits colors frequently no likey glue ….rotflQuote:

I used to be on that page but now I’m using tiny baits. Can’t use a keeper or the plastic tears. Loctite super glue is working well for me, blue cap on the bottle. Just like Keefer posted.Quote:

And to be sure bream tear up plastics fast , they are hard on plastics for sure , bite lots of tails right off them softer versions …Quote:

Might need to send me your address and let me send you some tiny limits tackle plastics, just saying :highfive
Bream pulling the skirts down on my hollow tube jigs was reason #1 for me to employ glue .... then, they just bit the skirt "legs" off one at a time. :Doh:Quote:

Not sure this will work for you but here it is . I used to use purple/chartreuse Umbrella tubes most of the time . I used insert type jig heads . Some makers did better than others smoothing mold flash so I checked for that . Used to dip the lead in Slab Sauce or other scent oil to help insert into tube bait. When nothing going on at home rig 25 to 50 baits . On the water I could just tie one on and rerig them later. Ever think about pre rigging plastic baits on jig heads with the glue?Quote:

I do the insertion of the bait onto the hook, then ensure everything is aligned, then ease the plastic bait back, then a drop of gel on the shank of the hook, then slide the bait up. This gets it inside and leaves some for the tip to afix to the jig head.
I use to prerig baits all the time, but one things for sure, all those I preriged was not the color they wanted. Not saying that preriging is not a good way to go.Quote:

This is the only super glue I use around the house. Tips won’t get glued. Never been a fan of gluing plastics while in the boat. Heck don’t even use glue when tying jigs. I guess I might if using a soft plastisol bait like Bobby Garland but don’t use these types of plastics. Prefer medium to medium hard plastisol. No issues with bait slipping.Quote:

If you want super glue to keep a long time store it in your fridge. Ive got a bottle of loctite 420 that Ive had for 8 yrs and still good.
I've done it a few times ... I like to wrap the shank in dental floss first. As for the bottle not clogging... I clean as much as possible and pray lol
thats what i do glue 3 different baits on three different poles if i want to switch colors or different jigs ill just pick another pole
loctite gel works well and have been using it for few months.
