Hi all ,
I been doing some trolling with floating Rapala's and I've had 2 broken . I
assume that the plastic lip is hitting rocks and snapping off .
My question is as follows : Can these be fixed ? I'm a real cheapskate when
it comes to Rapala's , I just refuse to lose ' em , so I'm hoping someone
can point me towards a way to fix ' em .

Thanks in advance

In theory Yes you can reglue the lips.
However those lures are flimsy things and I doubt they will ever 'run true'
again.

Craig, I thought you told me I could buy 3 rapalas with the money I saved getting my
P.Q. licence ..... I may have to think twice

Send them back to the manufacturer, along with a nice letter detailing how many
rapalas you own and how you love the product but are disappointed when the
lips break from bouncing along shoals. Pretty soon you should have some brand
new replacement rapalas in your mailbox.

Normark Canada does not have a Website, here's the address that I have sent
mine to:

Normark Canada
1350 Phillip Murray Ave
Oshawa, Ontario
L1J 6Z9
905-571-3001

It took about 2 weeks for mine to arrive.
