had a pretty awesome day on the water today chasin barra after losing my favourite gold richo I put on a brand new pink model caught a few fish on it then pulled the hooks on a nice fish only to discover the rear eyelet had been pulled out tyied on another brand new one a couple off fish and the same problem :72:just wondering if I glue the eyelets back in will it still hold 24 hr araldite never had one fail before
That's a bit ordinary I thought all good lure's were tied right through to the front, been wrong before though. Nice fish as well Pete.

Twisted wire eyelets pretty common and I've seen them strength tested to some crazy levels.
New araldite might work. The problem will be making sure something in there bonds. If there is more dry flakey glue - the new araldite might just pull that stuff out next time. Maybe redrill the hole to clean it up?
To me it would seem like there was a dud batch of glue (maybe wrong ratio mixed of araldite.) so that would make me hesitant to trust the belly hanger or the tow point though?
A shame about the lures, but looks like a great days fishing.
Yeah, redrill it and bell out the inside with the drill.
Thanks fellas will I give it a go and see how goes
Ouch that sucks big time, maybe test the belly hook hanger while you are at it to make sure it wasn't a bad batch of glue
I've had a couple Richos fail in the same way Pete, seemed for me it was the latter ones I brought that had failure, thought it may have coincided with when Ken got crook
They are a great lure though, one of my barra go to hard bods
yep big fan off the richos for a long time now still got a brand new one hangin up just re glued the eyelets back in see how they go these were the last ones I brought to was there first swim on the weekend
I know its a bit late of a reply but redrill hole so suite the aircraft locking wire sold at boates and inject arelditr into hole with a syringe. If you dnt want to trust areldire ask in at Boaties about the glue in at Boaties about the glue i buy off them. Its a bit thinner rhan areldire but and holds stronger. If you stand the lure with bib down when glueing wirein airbubbles will come outjust pop them and add glue to fill the whole lft around the back of the lure were wire comes out.
