Deejay2388 Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 I'm gonna post a pic here in a min once i get it on the cpu but I bent the bars that connect the tail to the boddy... not by much at all but ever so slightly... I haven't even got to use it yet! Not very happy atm, but I'm curious if this slight bend will really affect to where i need to get a new one... its still lined up from the side but the tail end is slightly to the right of the body.. if someone could let me know id greatly appreciate it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Facepunch Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 You are definitely going to have to bend it back or it isn't going to swim. What the hell happened? Get a little overzealous playing with it in the bath tub? Lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattlures Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 Just bend it back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPEEDBEAD Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 I would try to get some needle nose pliers in there and grab ahold of the rod to bend it back. I wouldnt grab either sides of the bait and try to bend it that way. There have been a couple pics posted of the pins pulling out and the resin breaking.

Shaunfishon Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 How did you bend it? Thought they are pretty strong. Throw it in the gutter and go buy a nother! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a saiko tuned 250 with probably 20+ fish on it and its bent also, swims perfect still. I'm not sure at what point mine bent or how but its been that way for months.

Deejay2388 Posted December 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 Well I just got back from using it. Since ive never owned one im not 100% sure how exactly its supposed to swim but to me it looked like it was swimming fine and i was confident it. Of course i didnt catch anything lol but i think that goes towards not really knowing to fish with it yet. Still trying to figure it out. I'ma stick with this one for awhile i dont feel i need to try and bend it. If i have no luck the next few outtings ill go for bending it, if nothing after that ill try my luck with a 250. Any tips on how to use it to its best potential would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
