Mesh Tube for holding soft bait within lure / lure making.

[RonPaulFan]

Is it high temp? Would be cool to shoot a swimbait over it, but it might melt it.

I just heated up the end of a hot melt glue stick with a propane torch to as hot as it gets before it drips and ran it over the mesh and glued it to a shinny metal spoon spinner.  It didn't harm the mesh tube and stuck it securely to the lure.

I just discovered another good feature of this mesh tube material for bait holding. I didn't bother to tie the ends because I was only testing it's heat tolerance, but pushing on an end, I see it expands from about 3/8 inch to about 1/2 inch similar to the Chinese finger trap. This has me thinking that tieing an overhand knot on each end is unnecessary because you can push in a larger than 3/8 inch chunk of fish meat and it will collapse upon and hold it in place without the need for the ends to be closed. This makes the concept work even quicker and easier.
