I have been catching a lot of fish of the 1 ounce Dark Sleeper. It is a fun little bait. After a while, a fish ate off the tail. I will order some more Dark Sleepers, but I hate to throw away the specialty weighted hook. Any idea what swim bait I could stuff the weight into?

I have a pile of them that lost their tails to pickerel. I'm going use Mend-it to glue on tails from other bulk packaged baits like the Hazedong shad when I get more. If you want to use the jig hook somewhere else then just find a bait with a wide enough profile, carefully split it open and remove enough material to seat the jig hook and weight. Use Mend-it to put it back together. If you need to fill gaps before you close it up just chop up a senko into fine pieces with an X-acto knife and use that before wrapping it up.
