If it doesn't I'd send it back for warranty service.

growing up, my dad molded tons of spinnerbaits and buzzbaits among other things. He would do a tiny ~1/8 oz size that is dynamite on smallmouth in the rivers. A tied bucktail skirt is the ticket. You had to use a spinning rod (bfs would be an option now) and the wind resistance of the blade limits casting distance a bit. Using a plastic trailer would add weight without resistance.  When we get home Wednesday I’ll pull one out for a quick pic.

LOL.  You don't think my 16' Mod-V would fare well in 32 footers?

Yeah, for about 20 seconds...  The Jaws quote is "You're gonna need a bigger boat". The only thing I've ever been aboard that I would think I'll make it back in those seas is a 530 foot destroyer.
