Ok guys, Which way do you put your rubber twister tails on your jerk baits. Curled up or curled down?? Does the action change by putting them one way or another?.

Down..... If they're curled down they wiggle while they're falling/paused..

Depends on the lure and the type of the tail. Each design reacts differently to a tail, a bigger or stiffer tail directs the water flow either up or down (think of it as a big rudder) and can get the bait to point up or down slightly. Most manufacturers adjust one way or another with their designs with weighting, design or tail type.
