| So I just recently picked one up... this seems to be an awesome bait. Love the sound. I’m pretty sure it won’t bother the fish, but it comes in a little bit off ( one eye a bit up, the other eye a bit down). Is there any way to tune these, to make my OCD go away? I tried tweeking the line tie, and also the front hook hanger with no luck. Thanks for any help!  |

| You can bend the eye that you connect your leader to slightly to adjust. The most important thing is the sound, a steady pop, pop, pop, while spitting water in front of the lure. Use a solid wire leader, preferably no snap or swivel. Point the rod towards the lure and keep most to all the line out of the water.
The Fat B kills em! |

Yep, the sound is what counts. Have had to slightly bend the tail back to the right shape after a fish but it is pretty sturdy and doesn't bend easily. |

| twisting the eyelit wont do anything. it doesnt tune like a crankbait. you are talking about a tail rotating bait... that one eye up/one eye down-ness you are talking about is caused by the lure spinning. it doesnt hurt anything. the only fix is more ballast. a heavier hook(which causes a nose down condition) or slow down your reeling... or... dont worry about it!!  |

| I’m thinking I just won’t worry about it... I really appreciate the feedback from you all though. I did try turning the line tie and it did not make a difference as suggested above. Turning the Front hook hanger didn’t work either. Either way, I’m sure it doesn’t matter. I have a little B that comes in perfectly level, so I guess that just makes me feel all happy inside for some reason lol. |

| Wish you were nearby.I’d swap yours for any one of the 4 in my boat.Doing me no good.In fact none of my lures are.All practicing musky ‘social distancing’.That makes cracking a new lake really tough. |

Man that’s awesome dickP... Glad to hear, haha! Thanks so much, I would take u up on that offer but I’m in PA so definitely quite a distance! I’m sure this cross-eyed fat buggar of mine is gonna get eaten sooner or later here in PA, and then all will be right with the world, lol. |

Bend the blade back slightly for less drag, or slow the lure down a little. A musky won't notice the eyes anyway. |
