also proper weight placement ... tail weights have to be dead on center...(belly weights too, but that is a given)
i have a commercial made (no names and never will reveal so no PM's please  ) pencil that sits with the belly hook almost full out of water...will not correct on retrieve either... easy culprit to ID...tail weight is way off center , so plugs lays about 100 degrees out...
no quality control in that shop.....
never say never Larry.. and i'm freaking bull-headed...but i converted.. i'm drinking the hydro now..
