Location: Royalton, MN | I have a Big Tooth Juice Mini 8 marabou bucktail that spins like a top on the retrieve, giving me significant line twist. Are there any mods I can do, as far as anyone knows, to keep the entire bait from spinning?
Thanks, Joe |

| This does work. If you don't know what he means you can private message me your phone number and I will send you a picture |

| Above works
Another option is adding a bell sinker which acts similar to a keel weight |

Good tip, but this thing spun right out of the package. |

I asked the reps at Big Tooth. They suggested a 45 degree bend at the eyelet. It worked like a champ.
