I've got a crankbait that rolls and runs on its side like no one's business. I've tuned/turned the front screw eye around nearly 360 degrees without any results. Looking more closely at the lexan lip I noticed it appeared to be slightly off center.

So I've taken it out and re-epoxied it into place. After looking at it again even more closely it would appear that the lexan itself is misshapen.

Has anyone experienced this on a favorite bait or something? If reorienting the lip doesn't work, should I try and buy a new lip? Or is there a way to counter balance the bait to make it run straight without having to replace the lip entirely?

or, take your dremel to it, and make it right.

I think I may take the Dremel to it as Rob suggested if I can't get it to run right by reorienting the lip. Thanks fellas!
