I have noticed that a couple of me bulldawgs are coming in all most upside down does anybody know how to fix this problem? Seems to me the more I screw with it the worse it gets!!
Thanks!!!

What I have found on somthing like this, is to bend the tail section down a bit. The bait may still turn on it's side when you give a good pull, but it should straighten itself out due to a little increased pressure from the tail section. It will cause the bait to want to dive a bit more at the end of the pull, but that isn't all that bad...unless you are fishing really shallow..

Something to try at least...

Internal harness may be a little high and thus is slightly top heavy. Try adding a small amount of weight to one of the belly hook shanks. I have used a small piece of soldering wire and wrapped it around the hook shank for other baits to get them to drop faster and it should work in keeping your swimbait upright coming in. If not it is easy to take off the wire.

Well, partially trained I say. Fully trained would be when they can catch a musky on command!
