The MS
Slammer trout plug is a hand made lure and sometimes the lure
needs a little tuning. I often get asked how to tune the MS
Slammer. Its very simple all you need is a pair of pliers.
You want your lure to run straight in the water, if the lure
runs to the right take the pliers and bend ( do not twist
) the tow bar to the left just a little until the lure
runs nice and straight. If the lure runs to the left bend
the tow bar to the right, until it runs straight, and your
ready to go. Always check the lure after each catch.
Part of
what makes the MS Slammer so great, is that it is made out
of wood. It's important though with the MS Slammer, and all
wood lures, to make sure they are completely dry before storing
them. You might notice condensation in your tackle box if
you put a wet lure in there. This is bad for the paint and
bad for the wood. At the end of the day, hang your plugs indoors
to let them dry overnight. Some people like to store thier
plugs in a bucket with notches cut around the side for the
hooks. This is a great way to keep them aired out after fishing,
and a great way to carry around a whole bunch of plugs.
Good Luck,
