Has anyone thought of running a wire through the inside of the bait like a coated pice of the thick stainless saltwater leader material? I bet that would work w/ out screwing up the action too? If anyone has one break and they are lucky enough to get back both pices (I was not) I suggest trying something like this mabey 2 pices and re-enforce the joints w/ pro's soft bait glue. Anyhow it's a thought, that may be able to revive a $20 lure my was lost and I keep thinking about different ways to improve the bait this is the best I have coe up w/ so far.

BTW
Matt you should try the triple trout it is alot like the platinum just alot more reliable :+
