I'm sure this has been covered before but I tried out a new suick the other day and it had such a hard counter-clockwise roll it was unfishable. Adjusting the tail-fin did nothing, can you bend the eye to get it to run straight?

Each one seems to be different. Play with turning the eye just a slight bit and it could help. Normally, you have to get an equal amount from the tail and eye to get it to run right.

what size is it

if it's the 7" model, add a 1/2 or 3/4 oz split rubber core sinker to the front hook, it will keep the nose down nicely, and will help with tracking more true
