If you'd break one off, just grab another tie it on and keep fishing.

I always have a tube or two in my boat, some in tackle boxes, etc.

AND it works great if you cut yourself. You can wipe the wound clean and crazy glue the skin back together. Works great and have done it twice now, once on me and once on a friend.
That glue is amazing stuff. Good idea you have there Merv...I need to do that. You know my whole knee replacement involved nothing but glue for mounting and closure of the incision. There is not even a screw from the artificial knee to the bone...it is all glue. When I showed up at the ortho rehab here in Columbia there were about 10 other knee replacements in the facility. I was the only one that was glued up. I could shower...do anything I wanted. Those others had to wait a while to get the incision area wet. Plus a few of them had some infection and oozing from the staples and stitches...but not with the glue....pretty amazing to me.
