Fixing a Rapala

[hermit]

I had the rear treble come out of my favorite Rapala just as I netted an Atlantic on Cayuga. There is a little loop of wire that goes in the back of the lure, which I still have. It looks like it would be pretty easy to stick it back in and glue it.

Anyone done this before? A good glue or epoxy to use? I know some glues melt plastic and others may be too fragile to withstand shock so I don't want to use the wrong stuff.

Thanks,

Alec

I would put it on the wall and buy a new one, or you will be When you lose the biggest fish next time!!

You may be able to contact Rapala and tell them about it. They may replace it?

Big Dave you're probably right. It's done well for me over the past 8 years or so, I guess I can't complain it finally broke. And I still landed the fish so no hard feelings there.
