Has anyone tried to epoxy over the lips to keep them cracking?
They crack right down the middle where they were formed together...
Has anyone else had this problem before?
I will try to get some pictures posted later on
thanks

They break every once in awhile mainly from hitting rocks, I have more lures get absolutely demolished and torn to shreds though, but at 12-15 bucks a bait it isn't a real bank breaker.

are they the new ones or old ones? is the front hook getting hung up on the lip?

I have broke 3 in a week before. But they produce fish... Yes the front hook is getting hung up on the crank lip. Which is kinda a pain.
If you go to overstock they have them on there for 7 dollars.
I bought a ton of them... I just want to figure something out so they last a little longer.

i put a short shank hook on the front and it minimized the hook fouling on the lip. not entirely but greatly reduces it. great bait though.

I have had both my shallowraiders lips break in similar fashion... kind of sucks at $15 a piece.
