What glue repairs torn largemouth bass worms, Z-Man ElaZtech baits and cracked crankbaits without leaving a smell?
Match the glue to the material. Ordinary soft baits are PVC plastisol: heat-weld the tear with a lighter or soldering tip — the odourless repair — or use a plastisol solvent glue such as Mend-It. TPE / ElaZtech baits are not plastisol: Mend-It will not bond them and heat makes a mess; a drop of super glue (cyanoacrylate) does, leaving a hard spot you cannot rig through. Hard baits take two-part epoxy or UV resin at lips, cracks and hook hangers, clear nail polish over paint chips. Every solvent glue stinks until cured — leave it overnight, air it, rinse. Largemouth anglers tear more plastic than anyone: stick worms and flipping baits are worth welding in batches at home. These are also the baits a bass mouths longest, so never glue in the boat and cast. Store TPE and PVC apart; touching, they melt together.
