| I have an old wooden Pacemaker that has bad hook rash. Approximately 2 out of 10 casts end up with the hooks fouled up in the areas with rash and the bait spinning in the water. I can't fathom the idea of throwing it into the parts bin. What do you guys recommend for repairing this? |

JD- that's an excellent idea. Very simplistic. I was going to suggest some sort of sandable filler material but that idea you have I may put to use on some of my Leo's |
