Recently purchased a couple Live Target Pumpkin flat sided Sq Bills.   I'm wondering if I need to tune it some (how so). Or if it runs as it should.  It just seems to run to the side and up sometimes. Looks great on the twitch and couple turns of reel....but if I reel steady has a very awkward almost to surface on side type retireve.   I'm using a clinch knot (improved).

 

I've caught several good bass off it , 2 over 6 pounds.  But still I wonder if something is off.

You can tune it by bending the eyelet where the split ring attaches to. If it's running to the left, using your needles nose pliers or forceps bend it a little too the right, and if it's going right bend it to the left.
