Sonny, if you get a personal repy about this problem I would like to know the answer also. I have 12 AC plugs that I had painted by a buddy the way I wanted them that look really good. Only threw and trolled them for a day to try em out. 4 of them are cracked all the way down the bottom like yours....Pretty bummed about it. I know theres nothing that I can do now but if theres something I can do to stop it that would be great.......Warren
P.S. Rob, no lure bashing here, both of the above mentioned baits are proven fish catchers, I personally don't have a very much $$ to spend on lures and when I do buy some I feel like I get more for my money going with the wood........
