I have a question. I finally got to organizing all of my baits (well, the ones I like)

I have a box with some cranks that have lips that came out. They are bagley db04's. They don't have through wire. The question I have is this, if I was to re-epoxy them into the bait, is this going to hold up okay, or should I try to modify them another way to keep the lip from coming when I have a fish on one? It looks like they were just epoxied to begin with.

You should be able to just epoxy it back in. Make sure you use slow setting stuff, it hardens better and is more water resist.

Or expoxy and run a 10/32 nut and bolt through the body and the lip all you will have peace of mind with man-power!
