highwayman Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 My son hit the side of the boat with a Rapala X-rap and cracked it about a half inch back from the line tie down to the bill.It's still attached.What should I use to fix it;super glue or 5 min epoxy?I'm sure I can get the bait to perform but I'm afraid of not having enough strength to hold together when a fish hits.

diemai Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 @ highwayman If my memory serves me right , the "X-Rap" is a plastic lure , so I think , it would probably be the best to use a special plastic glue , like the type used for model-making . I guess , tackle stores , that sell plastic crankbait kits , should also carry such glue . This glue "melts" the plastic surface a bit and fuses it together , only question is wether it would work on the "Rapala" plastic mixture as well ? My second choice would be the superglue , but after repair you should carry out some kind of pull-test with that lure , to avoid bad surprises at the water's edge later . Good Luck , diemai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
