SUBJECT: how do you keep a Smithwick suspender from waterlogging

Submitted by turfy from MICHIGAN on

I dont see any cracks in it, but it seems to fill up with water. Is there a sealant or something that I can put on the areas where the eyelet come out of the bait


  1. Loomis Pro from KENTUCKY says Rogues
    Try a small amount of epoxy. It's probably easier to just get a new one though.


  2. turfy from MICHIGAN says Hey Loomis
    It seems to happen frequently with them. I usually have to keep a few of them tied up and keep switching to let em dry out. The epoxy may work, might have to try it.


  3. Jeff Hahn from OHIO says turfy
    turfy: Before you fish one, put your mouth around each hook hanger and the eye. See if you can suck any air from around them. (So you don't hook yourself, take the hooks off of the bait first!) If so, they are leaking. A little Super Glue will solve the problem. I've had the same problem from one of my favorite Rat-L-Traps.

  4. turfy from VIRGINIA says thanks jeff
    I will give that shot. I'll stay out of the ER and I'll pop the hook off first. lol
