I bet I can fix them. I've remade several DD and DDD lips out of high-strength epoxy. I even use bucktail wire as a rebar type of frame so that they don't break so easily again. Drill back into the bait a little ways then insert the wire frame, make the proper lip shape out of cardboard and tape then fill it with the epoxy, wait 24 hours, do a little shaping with some sandpaper, then catch a pile more muskies on them. I think that you might be able to get replacement lips for them, if you don't want to go through all that trouble. You can also drill and pin any that haven't come apart with the bucktail wire so they don't pop out too. I've done that will all my old DDD and DD's that were pre-through-wire.

HMMM! Lets see, looks like I will use the bottom row next week. I might as well leave mine at home since you have so many. Cracker and Injun Joe will feel safer here at their home.

Just like the carnival, you see all the big prizes, but you only get to pick from the trinkets.

I'm back to crying in my beer. First spot today, some green Kryptonite rocks jumped out and stole my new Superman.
The true insult is that I have trolled over that rock hundreds of times, and have NEVER lost a lure there. Guess I can't say that again.
I'm going to take up birdwatching.

I had better bring up my spool of POWER PRO to replace that white line that you use. Did it come over on the Mayflower? Also, I better bring over extra leaders if that is the problem.
