Try this method to permanently attach parts of soft plastic lures. Super glue not recommended! After the lure ends are melted together, I use a battery-powered soldering iron to smooth and strengthen the seam. No matter how many fish are caught on the Frankensteined lure, the parts are bonded. (BTW, someone used the term Frankensteining lures on a different forum because he knew my name - Frank. Wisea.. )
