rboat Posted November 29, 2010 Posted November 29, 2010 I have an old discontinued crank that I love, but the clear plastic lip is now broken. Any ideas on what material I could get to fix or replace the lip. It is hard clear plastic about 1/8th inch thick. Once I get the material do I just cut or drill out the old piece and glue in the new one? Thanks. Never tried this before, Any help would be appreciated. Quote
rboat Posted November 30, 2010 Author Posted November 30, 2010 Anyone repaired a broken lip on a crankbait before? Quote
BIG M Posted November 30, 2010 Posted November 30, 2010 Post a pic of the bait so I can see the lip area. It's real tricky to do that repair but I have fixed a few. Quote
BobP Posted November 30, 2010 Posted November 30, 2010 If the bait is plastic and the lip/body are molded as one part, fixing it is probably not going to be feasible. If you do, it probably won't perform the same anyway. If it is a wooden crankbait, most can be repaired with a Lexan lip replacement. Quote
