Spinner bait swimming wierd

[Gannoli]

so i got a new spinner the other day and when i used it, it was swimming funny. the arm with the blades with wobbling back and forth. and that was causing the blades not to spin. is there any way to fix this?

Never seen that.

I'm going to guess you have cause and effect reversed, and the blades being stuck are causing the wobble.

Try soaking the swivel(s) on the blades with silicone spray to free them up, and try it again.

Again, without seeing it, I'm just guessing.

Cheers,

First check to ensure one of the skirt strands or a piece of vegetation didn't wrap around the swivels attached to the blades.  If that checks out ok, then hold the bait by the nose, with the bait hanging down.  Now flick the blades and see if the spin....alot.  They should spin fast and first, gradually slowing down.  The longer it takes for them to stop, the better.

If they turn only a few times and then stop, replace the swivel with a Sampo swivel.
