It's been out of water for a day or so now and I can hear water sloshing around inside.....Not sure where the hole in it is, any ideas on fixing?

Drill a 3/32" or 1/8" hole in it and let the water drain out .... . it may take awhile though .....unless you can roll up paper towel small enough to wick the stuff out, then fill the hole with silicone. I had a few of these and it seemed to work. I drilled the hole in the bottom right ahead of the joint.

Someone on another post mentioned -Drill hole fill with "great stuff"- to keep weight from coming loose - might be worth a try.

My best topraider runs "very" low in the water...maybe not full of water, but it sure outperforms my others.

I can donate a Topraider to a poor college kid. I'll give you one when we get out.

Ditto on the drill the hole and fill with Great Stuff. That will make the bait run better, and no more water can get in.
