Broken Lip repair!


Recommended Posts

While shore fishing the other day, i came across this poor lure with no lip or hooks or anything on it but a really clean body. So i brought it home and look at it on how im going to repair it and saw that one of my rapala's had a very soft plasticky lip and thought i can use something similar! I had some clear styrene plastic from car model building and used that as a lip. I didnt get any before photos as i didnt think about it. Started off dremeling the excess off the old lip that was still there to give me a nice base to work with. After that, i simply drew a lip on the styrene and cut it and glue it on with cement. here is how it look with no shaping or sanding.

While waiting for the lip to dry, i went ahead and added some feathers to the rear treble.

once the cement dried, i used the dremel to shape the lip more evenly and eventually sand it off. heres the full shot.
