I'm wondering, Is it possible? I usually have a few tubes that are torn up at the end of my day on the water. It would be nice not to chuck 'em in the trash.

You could always use those worm glues, super glue or if they are not ripped up to bad use a lighter and melt them back together.

I often use partial plastics on my spoons and sometimes on my crank baits.  Left over tail sections are great.  If I can, it goes on the inline spinner.

What I did was to start using the biodegradable baits. Unfortunately I don't think they make tube baits yet, but you can get just about anything else.

There are some different ways to reuse old plastic baits and if you don't recycle them, please insure they go into the trash and not the water or they are littered in anyway. Biodegradable baits are rally the ticket and should be the prefered baits to be used by all sportsman. Fish will swallow the plastic or rubber baits and they do not always pass and cause the fish great distress or death. I just filleted another nice big Lake Trout of 6 pounds and it had smelt inside its belly that were mostly disolved; but the plastic worm was still intact but discolored.

I know a few guys that recycle old bait buy meling them down and repouring them to make mew baits. If your into that sort of thing it'd a great way to recycle.

Not sure it should be listed under recycle but it works for me.  I do a lot of fishing for crappie--have some real slabs in lake behind my house.  People say crappie are more color sensitive than most fish.  I'm not sure if it is true but my experience seems to confirm it.  Grand daughter and I were trolling for crappie and when things slowed down she began to wander around the boat looking for things of interest.  She found a couple of bass worms from days gone by and wanted to fish with them.  I told her they were to big to which she replied:  "let's cut them into small pieces and put on jig head".  Turned out to be a great idea to which I have added them to jig heads, spinner baits, etc.  You can even cut them into smaller pieces to make multiple color jigs.  That girl gonna be a big star one day!  Already is in my book!  Good Fishing  Uncle Tom
