rtsutsui Posted June 30, 2017 Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 i had recently purchased a new slow sink 10 inch triple trout and the first time i brought it on the water i noticed it would sink on its side and when i retrieved it it would slant to the right and sometimes roll over at high speeds . Has anyone had this same issue? any tips help thanks!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danthefisherman Posted June 30, 2017 Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 I have a 5" that flips over when burned and swims at a slight tilt. Quite different from a ten inch I think, but mine gets bit regardless! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northeast_trev Posted June 30, 2017 Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 almost all of mine to the roll on a burn. 10s do it less than 8s, but still happens. Some heavier hooks or suspend dots along the belly may help keep it level Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOZ Posted June 30, 2017 Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 Here's a little trick I use on my bull shads. If I have a bull shad that is rolling to one side or the other I will hold the head and the next section past the 1st joint and slightly bend the joint in the opposite direction that it is rolling. I will do this little by little until the bait runs true (bending it too much or too far and you could risk damaging the bait). I was told how to do this by Bucca after I emailed him concerning a similar issue. Maybe this can help.... brushhawg1 and zanwhite 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragunn47 Posted June 30, 2017 Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 I wouldn't be afraid to contact Scott at Triple Trout either, I love using his 5" stubbies to burn and swim faster, they stay true at all speeds. Sometimes I have to play with the angle of the tail to fine tune it. I bought one that ran sideways and he had me mail it back to him for a replacement. He also said that a longer tail like part of a fluke works to straighten em out. He's been great on the customer service for me.
