tropicthunder Posted May 8, 2023 Report Share Posted May 8, 2023 Threw my 250 for the first time this season and it only glides to one side now. Anyone experience this? Any idea how to fix this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Working2Fish Posted May 8, 2023 Report Share Posted May 8, 2023 Are you steady retrieving it? Can you get it to glide each way with rod twitches or half reel turns? I'm guessing the joint isn't freely moving. If it is, I don't know what could be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morgan Y Posted May 9, 2023 Report Share Posted May 9, 2023 A bent tail or seized joint will do that. DrewManFishing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tropicthunder Posted May 10, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2023 Thanks for the suggestions! I'll check the tail and joints and see if that helps any Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caleb125 Posted June 14, 2023 Report Share Posted June 14, 2023 I had the same thing happening today on a straight retrieve, the bait tracked dead straight like a torpedo. It’s a brand new 250 as well, the joint seems to move freely and the tail seems straight to the naked eye. A half turn and stop retrieve got it gliding but it was about 50/50 on a straight retrieve.

_diggy_ Posted June 14, 2023 Report Share Posted June 14, 2023 This happened to my hot tiger 250 for no reason and then I sent it to Butch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishingthesoutheast Posted June 14, 2023 Report Share Posted June 14, 2023 My 250 is going up on one side when I glide and then almost straight down on the other side. Anyone know how to fix? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
