I don't know that I would fix it. Sometimes a bait that is just slightly different than what a fish sees buzzing by all day is the one bait that makes them want to kill it. I have had this problem before especially with baits with large deeply cupped blades. It seem that the blades put so much torque in the wires that it just makes them run slightly tilted in the water. Kind of like the torque feedback you get in the steering wheel of a boat. Unless you have that fancy shmancy hydraulic steering. If you change blades sometimes it goes away some times it does not. It may be the head on the bait is just not balanced either.

Dang, caught red handed!

Actually, this one was sold second hand to me.  Now I know why.  Thanks for the tip, I'll try bending it together a bit more. 8)

If the spinnerbait appears to be straight, it could just have too large a blade on it. I bought a new Strike King that did that, and the only options I could see were to either put a smaller big blade on, or remove the smaller blade completely. I removed the smaller blade, it ran straight, but I've never caught a fish on it. The smaller blade increases 'lift', but also cancels some of the vibration. I think our waters are clear enough that it's very possible to have too much vibration, despite what they say on the TeeVee shows.

I'm just rying to be like Dave! He is my hero!
