get a new one and trow that one in the garbage simple no?
Do what mota said & sell it and buy a new topwater bait, lots of new one's on the market, that will work. |

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | I wonder if this is a Weagle; hard to tell after all the custom work was done. I've never seen one ride that low. |

Location: Minnetonka | I've got a Cady Weagle and had the same problem... even when worked properly, with plenty of slack and pauses, it still dove.
I hung 3 extra split rings on the back split ring and that was enough weight to keep the nose up and the bait ran awesome, catching 2 fish upon its return to the water. Give it a try before you get a new one or strip the paint off.
Hope this helps.
Catch 'em.

Glad to hear i'm not the only person with this problem. Weighting the rear hook is gonna be my next plan of action.
Thats for the suggestions guys. I'll post my results if this fixes the problem. |

Location: Rhinelander, Wi | I bought a Hellraiser from R&H last year and it does the same thing. I can get it to work good then it starts to nose dive. I get frustrated and put it back in the box

Location: Elko - Lake Vermilion | My best Weagle, slightly nose dives and catches the most fish out of 10 different Weagles that I own.............. I would think you would want a lure to be more "in" the water, than "on top" of the water, for better Hook Up's.

Location: East TN | Ok guys, Meant to reply to this sooner, but just now thought about it. I got the bait repainted(two thin coats of primer, one coat of black paint)...its still diving. I tried putting a lighter hook on the front and even weighted the tail and I still can't get it to work. I'm just gonna give up on it...haha. If anyone would be interested with messing with it yourself, PM me. Thanks |
