fix perfect frog weight?

Post by fishbonz412 »

I was fishing and noted the weight on the bottom of the frog (bobby's perfect) starting to fall off. I cut it off with idea to fix it. This happened with a 2nd frog and I did the same thing. I fished a third frog but lost the weight before noting if it was loose or not. (these are old frogs so these are not defective, just old.)

Has anyone found an EFFECTIVE way to fix the weight back to the frog? Also, has anyone found a way to keep the weight on for a "new" frog? (I did a search but found nothing to this effect posted.)

I'm thinking superglue for the weight, maybe rubber cement over the weight to hold it on? Maybe epoxy, or is that too stiff?

Thanks.

I'd just use some mend-it.

GE silicone caulking. Or any clear room temperature vulcanized silicone caulking.

Gel superglue. If you have more old frogs, just tear the weight off and superglue it back on before you fish it.
