leaking chubbies

rrumbles · #1 11-09-2010, 12:05 AM

Hi guys anybody having brand new chubbies get water in them after only a few hours of fishing,i know some do leak after a while but lately its been happening a fair bit,just wondering if any other people are having this problem.

Havnt seen that happen from factory personally , I have seen it happen plenty if you hit rocks, pilons ect tho Especially with chubbys

xraps leak as well once you catch a fair few fish you can see the rust inside the lure from the ball bearings.... Take them back to where you purchased them they will replace them...

Already an overrated lure with the quality of trebles that come with....lost a few good fish that have snapped a hook shank clean off.

Having said that - with a decent set of hooks they are still the first thing i throw!

My chubbie leaks all the time especially after a few beers...

haha chubby rain!

Guessing you're in for the stiffy party?

I only have a half dozen of them but haven't had any leak yet.

I have had the flats fry's leak though...

If its happened before a fish has crunched it/its been belted into something then take it back.

Never had a chubby leak but the eyes do fall off pretty easily which DohDohDohDohs me,also found plenty of the Xraps that leak.If i have a lure that leaks i either chuck it in the bin or give it to an unsuspecting friend.You can't put them back in with your other lures for obvious reasons and i'm not going to have a separate lure box for leakers.I have repaired a few in the past but i'd rather spend my time fishing.
