[QUOTE="eyexer, post: 222318, member: 315"] exactly. it's really hard to understand sometimes. here's another way to look at it. Let's say you took a 2" clevis like you would use on a chain or something and tied a rope to the center of the curve of the clevis. Representing the same way you tie to the clevis on the crankbait. Now take that clevis drag it around in the hard. The clevis has to lay the direction your pulling it from Now imagine it was fastened to a board that would represent the lip of the crank. Now imagine how that board will lay when you pull on the clevis with the clevis laying flat on either direction. When a clevis/eyelet on a crank is bent it wants to lay flat in the direction it's leaning. It will only pull straight ahead if the clevis is perfectly perpendicular to the lip. This is the exact reason such a huge percentage of the people that fish reef runners give up and claim they aren't fishable because you can't tune em. They want to bend the opposite direction all the time. [/QUOTE]
