Hey I have a regular burt and I was wondering how much it would affect the action if I changed out the back treble for a small spinner, or if I added a grub to the treble.
Thanks for the help.

I tried that once with a Gooch's Banana Bait and it gave it too much belly roll.

All you can do is try it. If it doesn't work then just take it off and put the hook back on.

I've thought about doing that to a 'custom' weighted one I made this winter. I ended up chopping of the back half and making it a squirrly model. I think it would work great and be a little different. The Burt isn't much of (or considered) a glider so a spinner for grub wouldn't hurt the action. I have spinners on my suicks like that and it just adds a little more flash and movement. Give it a shot and let us know how it worked out.

When you do changes like that to non glide baits add a lttle lead to the front hook to prevent the unwanted roll. Its easy to do.
