[QUOTE="eyexer, post: 222314, member: 315"] yea have to tune them but after you do it a little its a snap. the eye has to be bent in the direction the lure is going. So if the lure wants to run off to the right (looking from the front) you bend the eye slightly that way. I got in the habit of letting out about ten feet of line and testing them every time I let them out. Often times when you catch a fish you have to tune em. They do make a little tool for it. I use my teeth lol. One note however. Don't just let it out and as soon as it goes one direction real it back in. You have to give the lure a couple seconds because these baits naturally go back and forth a few feet each side of the centerline. They hunt so to speak. That's the mistake people make that can't get them tuned. They don't give the lure time to switch directions. If after two or three seconds it is still pulling to the same direction then you know it's out of tune. And if your cranking with the kicker motor make sure your not testing the lure in the prop wash. It totally screws things up. [/QUOTE]
