Just purchased a couple of pounders for the upcoming season and when I took them out of the package the top fin was curved a bit from sitting in the packaging. Just wondering if anybody knew any good ways to straighten them out.

I have always wondered the same thing with those dang top fins. Though it does not effect the action, at least not that I can tell, but it is just so darn annoying to look at all the time. I am going to try the boiling water I think and see what happens, thanks for the insight

It will not affect the action in any way.
It's not a super model - it's a lure.
And yes there is aure called a super model. I know:)

Thanks, I've never really fished pounders before so I didn't know if that would affect anything.

Yes, they still work with the bent fin. Just like lures that lose an eye (or both), they still work just fine.
