Location: Elgin IL | Looking to repair a couple Cranes. I epoxy them out of the box and that helps but
have a few with the thru wire pulling out. Is there a wood puddy...bondo...etc that
I could build up and epoxy over? Lure makers....Help

Location: Oconomowc, WI | You could use a good two part epoxy (devcon or west system) with colloidal silica filler and then e-tex over that. I've used it several time to fill all sorts of things (including holes in a transom). You can make it as dense as you want and can even form it if you use a lot of filler. It sands pretty easily and it's incredibly strong. When I put the weights in my lures, sometimes there's a gap I need to fill and this is what I always use. |

Location: north central wisconsin | Definately don't retire it. That is very common with Cranes. A buddy of mine takes some of his power pro and wraps it very tightly around the area as shown on yours in front of the hook hanger that is pulled free, then soaks up the thread in epoxy/glue. Sort of double insurance. He has a couple cranes that should be in the smithsonian. |
