Sam_Glasgow_ Posted December 4, 2015 Report Share Posted December 4, 2015 Will someone please shed some light on how to tune a 250. I know the whole weight changing deal but i know theres more to it than that. And im talking the new version if that changes anything. Like what all do you do to the bait to make it swim better?? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogervang Posted December 4, 2015 Report Share Posted December 4, 2015 I just fish it out of the package. Still catches fish. Learn the bait and know what to do and what not to do. Just my excuse of not having to deal with the tuning. But I know one of these days I'm going to dial one in, because I can't leave anything alone.

Graphite.Greg Posted December 4, 2015 Report Share Posted December 4, 2015 You tune it with slight rod tip and more reel handle movement. It's called fishing. JohnMarino and kayl 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Michaud Posted December 6, 2015 Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 I replaced the hooks with a bigger front and a smaller back. also with different gap shape. sorry I don't know the size or style I was thrown these the other day by mr. brown. I noticed after I did this that it takes a little more effort to get the bait to go through the slalom. maybe I was supposed to put the big hook in back lol! trial and error Sam_Glasgow_ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what brand hooks he uses. 2/0 in the front 1/0 in the rear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Michaud Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 yes they are gamakatsu hooks. i need to switch up the ones on my bass pattern as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igl00jx Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 I switched my hooks to 1/0 ST36 front and rear for a slower sink. Made molds of the weights as well, so I can adjust at home when wanting specific changes in sink rates. Weights aren't the prettiest, but I'll let the fish dictate how fast of a sink they want.
