I remember seeing a gizmo on one of the big store websites (Basspro, Cabelas etc.) that was a "plastic" mender. It was AA battery powered and had a tip that heated up, so I would guess that some plastics can be saved.

Super Glue works ok. It drys kind of brittle so it's never as durable as it was the first time but it certainly works. I'm using a bunch of shads I repaired over the winter this spring.

I've never used it but Hogy has a plastic repair glue that stays flexible. I'd imagine that works even better.

Hospitals use those to cauterize small blood vessels. Then throw them away. My pops used to bring home dozens of them a week from the hospital. They also contian energizer AA batteries.

72 hrs of fishing SoCo, not a felony in all 50 states.
