Thanks for the replies, I put the tail in boiling water and but after a closer inspection I've got a "blem" the sides of the tail are different on each side, one side is catching more water than the other so I guess I'll just have to make due. When I take somebody with me that will be their bait. Oh yeah and thanks for the offers to repair it but the offers didn't sound too good........
