Troubleshooting
Lure not swimming correctly (spinning or rolling)
Check that the lure is rigged straight on the hook and that the tail is not damaged or deformed. Ensure the jig head is centered.
Reduced scent effectiveness over time
While the scent is infused, reapplication of a fish attractant spray can boost its power, especially after prolonged use or in strong currents.
Hook not setting properly
Ensure the hook point is sharp and adequately exposed. If targeting fish with harder mouths, consider using a slightly larger or sharper hook if modification is allowed.
