Troubleshooting

Lure not swimming erratically

Adjust your retrieve speed and technique. Try adding pauses or short twitches to its retrieve. Ensure the lure is rigged correctly and not tangled.

Hooks are dull or damaged

Inspect the SGY 1X BN treble hooks regularly. Sharpen them with a hook file or replace them if they are bent or significantly dulled. Ensure you have appropriate tackle strength for your target species.

Lure sinks too quickly
