Is there a way to tune a buzzbait? Every BB I make that doesn't have a clacker tracks to the right, the same direction as blade rotation. I throw a clacker 95% of the time but on calm quiet days would prefer to throw one without it. Any tips?

Hey Ricky, Are you using an inline blade or an off set blade? Usually the inline blade will track straight. The off set tends to drift with the rotation of the blade. Sometimes the type of skirt you use will also affect the track of the bait. Joe

try bending the wire the blade is on either up (away from main wire) or down (towards the main wire), depending on which way it is tracking.
