| I've got a bunch of Cranes and two Mantas I need to replace the plastic on.How are you guys getting the plastic out of them without damaging the lure.Whatever glue they use is good stuff. |

Location: BLOOMINGTON,IL | One of the lips on my crane just came out. I went to Menards and bought some clear epoxy that worked on wood and plastic. I used a knife to cut away all the old stuff and a little sand paper to rough up around were the new epoxy would go. I fished with the lure the next day and it worked great. I tired to give it a strength test and could not break it off. Make sure you get some epoxy in the hole where the lips were. I also used toothpicks to move the epoxy around.
You can buy new lips from Rollie and Helens - I just looked at what size they are.
Hope this helps -

| Problem I'm having is the epoxy won't let go of the plastic even trying to use a good knive.A buddy said to dip the front of the lure in boiling hot water,and the epoxy will loosen up enough to pry the plastic out.I'm going to try that. |
