no wood filler ....just grind the clip away to a flat area ....epoxy in a larger piece of wood in ...which hangs over every edge .....sand to couture the lip ....then I sanded the plug and used glitter technology to finish it off ....I wanted the epoxy to soak into the new wood and joint to made it stronger ...could of primed it ...then used glitter technology ....something I don't fish ....gave it back to the kid that threw it out
