Wiggle Wart

[Champ188]

Another option is the Wart-like blank from Predator. I have a friend who custom paints baits in Rogers and he's given me several of these to try. They will flat-out catch fish.

Old warts have a single ball bearing. Sounds like lead cuz it’s a soft knock. The bill will say Wiggle Wart on the old ones and Storm on the new.

Can a bill with a chip in it be fixed? I have an old wiggle Wart that is a fish catching machine. It needs a little love though. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance

If you have an old sacrificial Wart you can take some 80 grit paper and make a pile of dust, then mix the dust with some 2-ton epoxy to make a paste and fill in the missing area.

When I lived in California and surfed, we used a product called Solarez to repair surfboard dings.  It is tough stuff, and while I haven't tried it on baits, I would be willing to bet it would work.  I would work it into a ding, overpour, and cover it with packaging tape to make it smooth, then sit it in the sun.

They even make fly cements, which the "thick" formula might be good for this application:
