hemlock for swimbaits?

Orange 4500's
Question, I have three Pinnacle Vision VS10's that I really like. Is there a way to up grade them & one of them has a small chip chrome chip out of the drag drum that doesn't hurt anything it just makes a noise when you cast it. Any suggestions?

Small Project turns into NIGHTMARE!
Being an elderly mechanic I have had bolts seize up half way out, mostly in exhaust and water jackets. The bolts pertude into the water or exhaust channels and the threads corrode, when taking them out they will sometimes jam in the housing. > not a good thing. Vern
