Greenie weenie Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 Pulled the 175 out to throw at some roaming spots last week and the skin was all bunched up, possibly stretched or swollen. Tried to pull it back into shape on the water but to no avail. Bait did not glide at all. Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MurdaJ Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 some other plastics reacted with the skin? i dunno, i kinda treat my 175 like an old crank, never dry it, never hang it, and its still straight and taught Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnthonyCatlow Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 If the tail is kinked usually you can stick the skins in boiling water or hit them with a hairdryer for a couple seconds. Maybe these techniques would work to get the skin to return to its moulded shape? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
