Trying this again. I made a few Wiggley type baits. Had a lot of fun getting color combinations and the right shades. Could not test the bait until today when the ice melted. ARGHHHHHH! Bait would not track on retrieve straight. I used the Owner Twist Lock Centering pins and they are centered correctly. The bait would work as a jerk bait, but not exactly what I was looking for. It has great action, but spins on retrieve. I suspect I need to weight the bait, but I don't recall Mr. Wiggley having weight. I thought of trying to put an insert in to test the theory and then use the tungsten powder if that corrects the problem. In any event, I was looking for some advice on how to fix it. I guess the good news is that if I have to start over, I can melt down the old baits and make new ones. Thanks again. Lee.
