What I meant by a torn softbait is that the area where the hook point exits the softbait, get torn a little and can no lon- ger hold the bait and swim well. There are two things one can do to fix this and to continue fishing with the said bait. One is to use glue such as Super Glue. I do not like this method as Super Glue has got a super strong odour that is a put off to fish. The second method is my go to method. What I do is to get out the roll of black thread and make a circle the damaged of the softbait a few times. I will then tie the end of the thread together. This will allow the hook to hold on to the softbait as if it were not damaged. I then snip off the extra ends of the thread with a pair of scissors. A roll of thread to the rescue.
