This weekend I noticed a lot of my small, single bladed bucktails were rotating pretty good on the retrieve. I especially noticed it as I was picking up the retrieve speed. I noticed a few of my jr cowgirls and double cowgirls doing this as well this season on and off. I switched leaders and that didn't seem to help. I added a bell sinker to the front most hook and that seemed to help, especially on the smaller single bladed bucktails. Just wondering if anyone has found a way to combat this rotating or if that is normal for these baits. Thank you.

Bend the wire right in front of the clevis at a 45 angle

Down will become up, if it isn’t already.,.
