Eliotwh Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 Hey all I have a few 68s an 8" and a bluegill I just pulled out of storage and like an idiot I didn't store them correctly. Any tips on the best ways to get the bend out of the tail and get them swimming true again? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top Ramen Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 Dip the tail in boiling water for a few seconds. When it's straight, dip it in cold water. bassing305 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G_Heikes Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 but yeah like the guys said boil the tail until it straightens out, and what i found to help and get the tail to kick at slower speeds is to squish it around with your fingers while its soft and then hang it vertically for a day or so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigpoppabass Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 The utube hudd boiler guys say to hold hudd at an angle when boiling. Up to first fin. Never understood why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
