If I could "plus 50" I would brushhoggin.

Nicely done.

No.

I am not recommending that you fish it like other soft plastics, either. Fish the Kreature like a spinnerbait, slow rolled with an occasional twitch.

Buy you some Mend-It plastic glue and fix them. I use it all the time to repair senkos. It is a little pricey but will fix many a senko to be fished again. I use it on all my plastic baits expecially paddletail swimbaits. A very good product IMHO and the manufacturer has fixed the problem of shelf life by now packaging it in glass bottles with a brush applicator. I get mine from ***.
