Thanks, Tony. I just went out into my workshop and looked in my Bass Spinnerbait Box and cut the wire from an old spinner and cut a 3" piece out. it fit perfectly into the two pieces. Roughed it up with sandpaper and a file and glued it in with GEL Superglue. Wow. Took 1 minute to set. Like new. But will still wrap it with rod wrapping thread.
Thanks, again ! Jimmy ************************************************************************* Tony Spezio wrote: > Jimmy, > I have had good luck doing this.
