I tried fishing buzz baits for the first time yesterday.  Due to the wind I did not get to throw them very much.  But I did notice that my skirted jig head would not run vertically, but was clocked at about a 45 degree angle.  I was using a snap swivel on 10lbs line and a spinning reel.  Is that a good presentation or should I work out a set up that allows the jig head and skirt to run vertically under the prop?  

try it a bunch of different ways you might find something that works better

Single prop Buzzbaits must be tuned. The arm, prop and hook must be aligned for the bait to run correctly. Hold the bait at the line tie and look straight down the bait, the hook should be directly in line with the tie and directly under the prop. If not the bait will run on its side, same is true with spinnerbaits. Also running a single prop too fast will cause it to roll too. Some brands are harder to tune than others. A double prop nearly always runs true. Good luck

thanks! that is very helpful.
