I saw a little blurb in an In-Fisherman's article on soft bait for pike and they had a sentence or two about this product used to "fuse" soft baits together. The solution is a not a glue (even though he mention glue in their product name), its more of a catalyst that melts/fuses the plastic back together. You can get it on your fingers and whip it right off with no residue since it is not glue.
Well, I checked their (Mend-it) HSOforum and they had a demo video where a guy is ripping and cutting senkos, basstrix, and some other higher end swimbaits into the worse possible shape. The guy then proceeded to restore all the baits to practically their original state. He did the entire demo without an edit, so there were no camera tricks.
I was wondering if anyone has tried this stuff and have any opinions on it or possibly heard any first hand reports on how this stuff works. Its not cheap (about $12 for a 1 oz bottle), but if really works it will more then make up for itself in me not having to re-buy all the soft body baits I have.
I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought.
Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just
buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
Congrats on the motor! I think you’ll like it.
I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers. 160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.
Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor. Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to
get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius)
says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe. I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho. Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
