I had a mini z9r that wouldn't run right. I took of the rear hook and split ring for starters. This solves the problem of the hooks getting tangled and allowed the tail twice as much action. The bait is so small that only one belly hook is needed. The bristles in the tail where very stiff from clear coat that was sprayed on the lure. I broke all of that stuff loose and trimmed the tail bristles down to about half of the original size. This bait has an unbelievable S motion now. You can reel it very slowly now and still get great action.
