Gota few top waters that need some doctoring. Just wondering what everybody else puts on them. I.E. true oil, epoxy, nail polish, ect to cover up wounds. Thanks

Unless it effects the action of the bait, I don't do anything to my baits that show signs of wear. The more beat up they are, the more they seem to produce.

I had a Lee Lure's Chopper that gotten beaten up real good. I painted it and cover it with envirotex coating. I also went from 5/0 to 6/0 on the front hook.

Of course, right out of the box I up the hooks from 5/0 to 7/0 on my TopRaiders.

If you do not want them soaking up water, I take some 5 minute clear epoxy to the wounds. That seems to help but like others have said. some baits work well when they are beat up.
