I have a black Terminator Special-T buzzbait that tracks to the right, I can’t figure out how to tune the thing. It has that bendy wire that just seems to go back to it’s original shape no matter how you bend it, is there any way to get this thing running straight?

The main wire that runs to the head of the bait needs bent a little…if that doesnt work…add some cup to the blades by bending one of them a little.  Just bend one at a time to see if you fixed it.

I’ll have to try bending the blades next time out, because I tried bending the head & twisted it around twice & it just sprung right back to the way it was. Thanks for the help x.

You can also try thinning out your skirt on one side and reducing the drag. That titanium wire makes it hard to tune those baits.

You can heat the wire and bend it.. but it might reduce the strength of the wire.
