Paint cracking on lures.
Hi team, picked up some nice 2nd hand lures other day, but some that I thought had an awesome alternative paint scheme, have actually got paint cracking on them. Wasn't sure if I should just remove all hooks and spray them with clear sealant or not. Any thoughts? Cheers!

Re: Paint cracking on lures.
mate i reckon they have cracked due to being left in the tackle box out in the sun,most of those resin/plastic lures have a small amount of gas inside them which expands with heat making the lure either pop open,split or do what yours has done .they should be still fine to use if they havnt bent or twisted at the same time..keep them out of the sun from now on and you will get heaps of use out of them .cheers AL

Thanks Al, yeah , scored like 15 lures off a guy on Ebay. Just checked, no twists mate, all good. The paint still seems good, no flakes, just those small lines visible. Much appreciated mate. Tight Lines!

Give them a quick wipe with isopropyl alcohol (not too much or you'll take paint off) and a couple of coats of clear acrylic, they'll be all good then.......
