| I bought one of the live target 10 inch jakes. Used it for the first time yesterday and I noticed pretty quickly that it had a slower rise than my other jakes. Within 30 minutes it was sinking. Has anyone ever had this with a new jake before? |

Location: new richmond, wi. & isle, mn | It does happen. They're one of my all time favorite baits. I'm sure they'd replace it. Personally I spray foam all of mine. Never worry about leaks. Another option is you can dry it out for a week. Then drip super glue in the molded eyelets and it will be fine. |

How does this work? Spray internally with spray foam? Doesn't alter the performance? Also spray foam isn't really water resistant. Interesting though. |

I have one that leaks after someone threw it on a rock... I like it that way and left it--- It runs very deep and I have caught several big fish on it. Its nice in open water and after turnover- I can really get it down.
