Location: Ogden, UTAH 10 minutes from pineview reservoir | Just curious how some of you tune a bulldawg or a super d? Or do you just run em straight out of the package?
I had a bulldawg that never ran right, well I picked up a super d and it looked great, however a buddy told me he tunes his dawgs....
Any info greatly appreciated |

| I'm no expert on the subject, but I bend the wire harness in the middle of the bulldawg to "tune" it. If it swims right, then I try and bend that wire to the left and vice versa. You can also bend that center wire up or down to vary the action a little bit as well. |

Location: Hayward, WI | Yup, I tune them if/when they need it. After catching a fish on one you'll usually need to tune bend it back in line for it to run correctly. As stated above, bend left/right to make it run straight or walk the dog slightly, and bending the nose up will make it work up and give a slightly shallower glide on the fall. |

Location: Forest Lake, MN & Bemidji, MN | One of my favorites for MI pounders when I am straight retrieving them is to bend the nose of the dawg slightly upward and also add a slight bend to the left or right as far back near the tail as you can. When you get it right, the bait will ride nose up a bit and the head will wobble side to side and it will also roll very slightly on a straight retrieve. So the whole body of the bait gets a nice little shimy in front of the already great tail action. I have had some good luck doing it, especially at night. If I am ripping the baits I do not tune them. Try anything with dawgs, the funnest baits IMO. |

Location: Denmark | My fishing pal, uses a wire rig on his Dawgs, who should raise the hookup percentage, radically. Sorry for the pics, have to grab them from an article about Bulldawgs written in a Danish Magazine.

Location: Land of the Musky | Actually you want to "un"tune them. The more funky your swimbait runs the better. Fish like random movements in a bait. |
