I recently opened my tackle box to discover that my 13.5" & 10" Trout tools have paint problems. The 13.5 Tool seems to be wrinkling up and the 10" is just coming off. I use Pautzke's Bass factor and Gel Krill for attractants and I'm wondering if this has contributed to the problem. I usually have my Rago lures taken care of at Eric's Tackle in Ventura. Jerry has not been by or heard from in quite a while and I am not sure how to get a hold of him and Eric said the # he had no longer works. I would like to get these bait fixed as this is a $400.00 investment. If I have to, I guess I will have to send them back east to a friend who paints lures to have them re painted and then epoxy coated. Any help in getting hold of Jerry Rago and getting these lures fixed if possible would be greatly appreciated. Casitas trout plants have begun and I would really like to have these lures for swimbait season.
Thanks, Rich Lund
