I have a new LeLure creeper that rolls/spins when retrieved. Anyone know how to tune it? If doing it is easier than describing it, I could bring it to the Milw. show or the swap meet.

Krishna, bring it over. Probably just needs wings twisted downward or bent in, or both, somewhat. If they are screwed on in the right place, tuning should be a cinch.

Here are some pics that will help you. First pic shows a good equal spread........Second pic shows incorrect twist on wings.......Third shows good starting point for wings.........Keep in mind both wings need to be bent the same to achieve an equal oscilation ( walk evenly).

As you can see the bottom of the wing in the correct site pic is pointing nearly straight down....This is a great starting point.

More forward position on the bottom of the wing causes more bite and a wider walk where straight down or slightly back causes a tighter or softer walk.........I would guess your wings twist is set to far forward and they are not twisted the same.......Good Luck..........................Doug Bradley

Looking at Doug's pics, I think Jason might be right. I think the wings just need to be angled downwards a bit. I'll give that a try and if it doesn't work, then I'll stop by sometime or maybe we can meet up somewhere on the water once the season is open. Someone is sending me a file on tuning creepers, so hopefully that will help too.
Thanks guys,
Krishna
