Location: north central wisconsin | Greetings,
I broke the lip on my favorite 8" Firebelly Jake today. The lure was about 10 years old(first run or so of 8"ers) and I would like a couple from the same vintage. I am also looking for another 10" Jake in firebelly from the same timeframe(pre-drifter). I have alot of lures to trade etc., just send a pic of the jake and let me know what you are looking for. Thanks much in advance. |

| if you have any jakes 8 inch or 10 jakes the lips are the same just pull it out of another and epoxy it in your firebelly jake you may have to work it back and forth hope this helps if not send it me ill fix it for you.

Location: north central wisconsin | I actually still have the lip that 'cracked' out of it and plan to epoxy it back in. I do, however, desire to have a couple more of these jakes in this color for a backup and do not want the drifter models. Thanks, though for the recomendation on the lips. I plan to buy a few now, for future breakages. Do you guys get the little piece out, that stays in the lure when the lip breaks, somehow? |
