HKJonathan Posted July 3, 2020 Report Share Posted July 3, 2020 I throw soft plastic a lot. I’ve so many that have been bitten off by bluefIsh or just chewed up from use. Does anyone know where I might be able to recycle these Or otherwise put them to good use? I don’t pour my own and am not interested in doing so.

Brdhntr47 Posted July 3, 2020 Report Share Posted July 3, 2020 As long as there are no pieces missing just Crazy Glue them back together. The Bluefish don’t care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobBass Posted July 3, 2020 Report Share Posted July 3, 2020 You can probably use little bits of gulp for kingfish 55555s 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SC Posted July 3, 2020 Report Share Posted July 3, 2020 you can repair tears or graft pieces together using a hot knife blade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HKJonathan Posted July 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2020 Unfortunately most of these are where the tail or even half the body is gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bait Tailer Posted July 3, 2020 Report Share Posted July 3, 2020 I turn mine into diy dartspins, adding spinner bait blade on the back with an extra long bait keeper twist screw lock spring or running some line through the bait with a riggin needle from hook to swivel. Different size and shape blades change the sink and lift rate like density of hair on a bucktail. They’ve actually become my go to search and new spot bait. The vibrations make it easier to feel bottom and strength of current. Blank Disc and 55555s 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Water Dog Posted July 3, 2020 Report Share Posted July 3, 2020 I save all my Gulp that have their tails bitten off and keep them in the juice container. When I run out, I reuse the heads as they are still effective for the scent attractant and attach a curly Otter Tail strip to the end of the hook in order to maintain the fluttering action of the presentation. flylikabird, Gooch88, fishfinder and 1 other 4 Hobie Power Skiff Fisherman Hobie Revolution 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same experience as you. I've started to rinse and save them in a ziplock bag. Eventually, I will create a mold probably for a sluggo or something like a whip it tail. Hate to throw away all that plastic. flylikabird 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HKJonathan Posted July 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2020 Thanks for the suggestions. Making my own is not something I’m really looking to do at this time. I was hoping I could just recycle them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebbtide231 Posted July 6, 2020 Report Share Posted July 6, 2020 Bag'em up and give them to someone who pours their own. Maybe you'll get a few new ones in return.... flylikabird 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
