To follow up I wrote a review of what happened on the rapala website customer service section and got a response same day. They said to return it to the warranty dept and they would replace it, also that they get few returns so if you have a bad lure it would help everyone if you returned it so they know they have a problem if they really do. Maybe I had a rare defective one.
 
View attachment 11538Very disappointed in my new walleye lures! Dropped it to the bottom and jigged not hitting the bottom hard and the action seemed off. Brought it up and this is what it looked like, plastic skirt had broken off in less than 5 minutes. Not real happy with them right now!
Great , I also purchased some from that thread

Rush, I should not have bad mouthed them until I tried them a couple of times. I have more and still want to use them and I will in the future. Rapala will stand behind them so if they break I am going to send everyone of them back and get new ones and I will keep doing that until they get tired of me, if they keep breaking. I have had good products fail before and maybe this was a one in a thousand occurrence. We will know more after my next trip for sure. Try them and let us know how they hold up.
 
4'' Salt and Pepper I get them from bassassassin.com out of Florida.
Ok thanks . Not a Bass Pro thing?

thats usually my story. I get the one out of a thousand that’s defective. Oh, that’s never happened before. However I’m going down soon and will gone em a try .
 
Rush, I have heard that Sportsman were carrying them all so. I buy them 20 pack's at a time, and they ship free and you get a little discount on each pack.

Atleast it sounds like the are offering good customer service to resolve the issue. I would not have thought you would have gotten a response or offered a new lure under warranty.

Same thing happened to me a few weeks, Of course I didn't realize it kept using it and still caught walleye with it. I recently had to replace some vinyl on my top cover, so I used some leftover vinyl to make new fins. Glued it with vinyl cement trimmed it to somewhat resemble the original and it seemed just fine. Can't show you a pic because it's in the bottom of the lake. I will continue to use jigging raps and if this happens again, I'll fix them the same way.
 
That's good to know. The only ones I've had trouble with are their original straight and jointed styles. I guess I should have saved them and sent them back. If enough of us did that they'd realize there's a problem and fix it. It's easier to just bitch about things. Human nature I guess. I still have had a lot of luck with rapalas. Hate to see them cheapen up some of their products.
