Hi!

I've got some issues with my 11" Curly Sue sink. When I'm cranking it, it's tilting to the right.

Does anyone have got similar experiences? What can I do, to solve that problem?

Thanks

Bend the body of the bait slightly to steer the opposite direction

What he said. Any fish that hits a chunk of rubber doesnt care if its off kilter a little bit.

LOL-I have had guides tell me they get just as many hits on Dawg-Balls as they do on swimbaits... Love the video of a few years ago of a musky hitting a chicken carcass tied to a rope...

To be honest. I bended and twisted the Curly in all directions. It runs different, but the basic problem still exists: it's tilting right and is then spinning around if it's cranked faster.

What role do the side fins play? I saw that one is bent upwards and one downwards...

A dawg-ball moves so much water and your typically reeling it in as fast as you can to fix it, I can see why that might work. This begs the question, whats the best reel to burn a dawg ball?

The wire harness and lead probably wasn't straight in the form when rubber was poured. If it's a new suick suzy, call them up. Maybe they would replace it for you.
