Hello I was wondering if it was possible to true up a titanium buzzbait...I have one that on the retreive swings way left.
Thanks Keith

I have tried bending wire with no success. The only thing that sometimes helps a little bit is turning the skirt until it gets better.

IFISH say's,

I don't know to much about physics, but i think if you used a little bit of weight to make it true up, the properties of the titanium may be able to bend slighty to how you want it.

Example: Put the bait in a vice grip or something that'll hold it in place, and add some weight to the arm of the blade that's bent and have something to support the weight so it doesn't bend too much. make the weight just heavy enough to make the blade arm that's bent, parellel with the arm that is straight. Keep it in this position for a few day's or so and check on it. If the friction is great enough, it should allow the titanium to reform with some good ol heat. I hope this helps you out bro.

Thanks guys I looked at the bait some more and everything seems to be lined up perfectly but like I said it runs to the left really bad.
I"m going to try the skirt rotation thing...that sounds like it may just work...it's frustating you buy a $2.00 buzzbait and the thing runs great then a $6.00 one runs all goofed up. Thanks again for your guys replys. Keith

Save that thing! Use it on docks to get under them or bounce off the sides. Keep your left swimming buzzers seperate from your right swimers and you straight ones.
They have their uses. I gaurantee it!!

Oh yeah, Shshshshh... don't tell anybody. :D

Geeez,

Simplicity Itself! Brilliant!

I mark mine with a spot of Red if the run to the Right and yeLLow if the run Left. If your working down a bank with over hanging brush put on the Correct one for the direction your going and have at 'em! Lastly, are you throwing buzzers NOW???
Tight lines,
