Super Glue Ultra Gel Control Black Blue Bottle

What's nice about gel super glue is that it sits on top of the material, making it ideal for attaching eyes to baitfish patterns. I also use this to secure popper bodies to hooks.

I first started using this to fletch arrows. It worked flawlessly on wood, carbon, and even aluminum shafts. Because it worked so well for that tricky and demanding application, I tried it for fly tying as well general household applications. Although I'm still a big fan of green-label Zap-A-Gap (applied with needle) for precise or delicate work, I use black-bottle Loctite whenever a gel is more useful and I've yet to be disappointed. It provides a bit more time for positioning items (like eyes) and Loctite considers it to be their most durable "super glue."
