Swim Bait & Glue

[SycamoreTwitch]

I'm sure this isn't a new or innovative tip for most seasoned anglers but I learned it this past summer fishing the ledges at Kentucky Lake and a couple local fisheries here in Indiana.

I used a arrow fletching adhesive/glue to attach the head of my swim bait to swim jigs and underspins.

It helps preserve the expensive baits so your not having to change out every 5 or so catches when your really cycling through fish catches.

It helps pre-rigging them and gluing them so you just have ro re-tie a new jig because the swimbait is already pre-rigged.

Personally I think it helps your hook up ratio because when the fish grab onto the back end the soft plastic bait isn't slipping at all- they tend to hold onto it better.

Again not like the most inventive thing ever but it might help someone!

Additional tip: it's really important to get the hook exit perfect so the bait is flat as possible. You don't want the boot tail sagging down - if this happens when you hold it up you might as well redo it.
