I've got a couple of spinner baits that I can't get to run right. One runs through the water leaned over at about 45.....the other constantly spins (think like a bullet shot out of a rifle'd barrel). The faster I reel, the faster it rotates. If it counts, the one that rotates non-stop has a swim bait trailer on it. The one that was just running leaned over at a 45 angle didn't have a trailer on it when I tried. There are 3 certainties in an uncertain world: 1. All Politicians Are Liars 2. All Gun Laws Are an Infringement 3. Taxation Is Theft

If they are not, bend them slightly, in the opposite direction of the way that the bait is rolling. Lastly, If you're running a trailer on it, make sure that it is rigged perfectly straight on the hook and the hook shank is running down the dead middle of the trailer and not off to one side or another.

Bending wire towards hook as well. It’s of no use if it’s running off kilter so making into a new version at least salvages it.
