I was out on the Sacramento River today and really should not have been there. It was moving Strong.

I tried it anyway and at one point got snagged, I was swiftly moved down stream over my line and then my 8lb mono got snagged up on my Turbo fins with the force on the river... ouch....

I cut the line right away but too late, my line sliced into the fin and now has a 1/2 in tear towards the top on the lee side, not the mast side...

Is there anyway to glue/epoxy this rubber back together?

Thanks
