I was investigating how the Wacky Rig works and ran into this product called Mend-It by accident really. I primarily fish soft swim baits like the yum money minnow but as many of you know they tear pretty easily and they aren't cheap. Was wondering if any of you guys tried it because I think it would save money big time if it works like they say.

Grabbed this from the Q&A from there site.

"First of all, Mend-It! is not a glue! Mend-It! simply re-catalyzes the plastic. Mend-It! does not leave hard spots in your bait like super-glues do, Mend-It! keeps your baits soft and natural as if they were new again. Mend-It! doesn't stick to your fingers, only to your soft plastic baits. Mend-It! leaves no residue at all and most repairs are invisible!"

Its the best glue I have used. Works great but a little expensive. But you make the money back in what you save. Its like a lure retriever for soft plastics.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm really going to give it a shot because I've been losing too many yum money minnows from what seem simple tears to fix and I can't afford to keep buying bag after bag at $10 a pop. 

Have some and it "mends" great!  BUT... in order for it to work, it actually dissolves a little of the plastic.  If you spread/open the "wound" in order to get the Mend-IT in, it will actually widen/open/"tear" the wound bigger!

Just BARELY open the wound enough to allow a little in.

Good luck!

Will Hesch is the guy behind Mend-It currently.  He is also the guy behind Cool Foot (for your trolling motor) and the Bac-Rac (for co-anglers to carry rods on a boat).

All great products and a good guy to deal with.  I bought some swimbaits off him a while back.

On a side note: I believe Matt Servant (Mattlures) came up with the original Mend-It.

There is your trivia for the day, folks.
