Bobby Uhrig Posted October 7, 2019 Posted October 7, 2019 Cavitrons HMMMM what are they??? There are many factors and variables that control Cavitrons. In fact I was out yesterday playing with them -I don't think too many people in the world throw them more often than I. Yesterday the wind was light at times but when it was more windy , the line acted like a sail and pulled the bait to the side-causing it to run faster- when the wind stopped -it ran straight- I ditched the 14 lb test and tried 10 - less resistance to wind and it ran straighter- Changed from the 1/4 to 3/8-14 lb test ran straight because the head was heavier and kept the baits center of gravity lower -no side tracking.. When adding a trailer-it acts like a rudder -It must be on straight or it veers to a side. As for tweaking the bait-make sure the wire on top lines up with the keel on the head. Nice and straight. The #1 reason they track to the side -Youre reeling too fast. SlOOOOOOOOw it down -you will find the sweet spot by adjusting the retrieve according to your components and conditions youre fishing. 6 Quote

Super User fishballer06 Posted October 8, 2019 Super User Posted October 8, 2019 I'm personally a big fan of the Cavitron Similar to what Bobby said, I've never had a bad issue with any of my Cavitrons running sideways uncontrollably like I have with other brands. I've probably gone through over a dozen Cavitrons in the past 5 years or so and they've all ran great out of the package. My personal favorite is the red blade, black skirt 1/4oz version. I like to put a 1-2" piece of a Senko on the hook to give the bait a little more weight and casting distance while still keeping that smaller 1/4oz profile. And like noted, if I don't thread that Senko on there perfectly, I will get a slight off center tracking, but nothing that isn't worthy of noting. Hey @Bobby Uhrig, would it be too much to ask for a bait keeper incorporated into the head/hook design? Please.... ? 1 Quote
keagbassr Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 Pulled a basically brand new cavitron out of a tree by the launch on my way in yesterday. Nice looking bait. Will have to give it a workout next time out. (After i remove the bead in front of the blade). Still not sure why this is done. Quote
