| I have three TR`s. 2 work great in all conditions. 1 rolls over like the old Tally-Whackers. I`ve seen people post from other tackle companies here, anybody from Bucher Tackle have a solution? Or do I give it a Viking funeral? |

| Beav,Try to put 4-6 suspend-a-strips on the tail section.This adds to the back/weight and stops the roll and gives it a little louder pop.It worked on several for me!
P.S-Let 4 bucks go already!What you see`in? Jeff [8)] |

| Your keel weight came loose in the front section. I wrapped a little lead soldier around the front hook hanger and it helped. I did that to the roller I wanted to keep(caught lots of fish on it). I had one that rolled that never really worked good anyway, and sent it in and had it replaced. |

| Great ideas to weight the hook, but I will honestly say it does not matter if the front part is rolling or not, I have fished most of the year with a Tally Wacker that the heads turns and have caught several fish including a 54" this year. So if you worried about the head rolls Don't sweat it sometimes its those baits that don't work right that catch fish.[:praise:] |

| Jeff, if the head rolls and the hooks roll with the bait, I call that "Muskie Roulette".
I prefer to keep the main section from rolling by adding wieght, a 1/8oz on a tallywacker works wonders. |

| Sometimes the shrink tube on the tail hook rubs against the tail piece. That is enough to make the bait roll... especially with a faster retrieve. In fact, some of the early batches of the bait had the shrink wrap too far into the tail section... and Tom Dietz was telling everyone how to fix it. Maybe your bait that spins is one of those? Just something to check. Its gotta be something simple like that.... as I'm sure everyone agrees that the Topraider is the ultimate design in tail baits and has proven itself well.
Oh yeah, check the metal shaft between the two pieces too. Sometimes you can get weeds wrapped in there that can also make the bait roll.
