thedonnguyen Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 Hey guys...something was brought to my attention and I should have taken a closer look, but apparently they changed the hardware used for the hinge on the new 250 between the announcement and actual production. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ADJUST THE HINGES. I want to sincerely apologize for potentially damaging baits. I feel really bad and hope no one ruined their baits Bmlum, iay, nadinesmom and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nadinesmom Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 I blame Derps, not you. Everything I had read all over the web mentioned that you could do exactly what you did... Bmlum, NorCalBass and IndyBassFishing 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nadinesmom Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 don, hard to tell from the pic but did it actually break the hinge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedonnguyen Posted April 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 It didn't break...just has the potential to put some baits out of commission Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattlures Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 Yeah those aren't screw eyes that will unscrew. Something has to break if you go trying to turn one of those. From the video Butch posted they swim good. The don't look like they would need any adjusting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G3bassin Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 That is the type of connection the 175's were suppose to have and the 250's were suppose to be adjustable. They should have announced they decided to use different pins and I would hope they would replace any damaged baits that people tried to adjust.

SPEEDBEAD Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 Maybe it's just me but what is the issue or potential issue? I don't have one in my hands to really look at right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reelfish Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 (edited) Maybe it's just me but what is the issue or potential issue? I don't have one in my hands to really look at right now. Basically can't adjust the pins to widen/tighten the glide. The pins appear to be molded into the plastic. The main pin seems to have loop at each end. Adjusting the looping pin 180 degrees (to line up with the pin insert) to widen the glide will cause the loop at the other end to potentially break/bend the pin or damaging the mold. That is how I understand it. Hope it makes sense. Edited April 14, 2015 by reelfish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is how I understand it. Hope it makes sense. If that is the case, then they should also label the pins (which are for sale on their website) as OG style only. Some may try to shove that into a new style bait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPEEDBEAD Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 So, my question is, since you did a video on how to adjust the hinges, how on earth was this not apparent to you on your own bait? swimbait 24/7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattlures Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 without seeing the inside of the front section he possibly thought he was unscrewing the "screw eyes". but he was actually just bending/twisting the metal loop pieces.
