Plug Tracking To One Side

A plug should track straight through the water. If it veers to one side or the other, you can correct it by bending the eye to which the line or leader is tied. You don't have to move the eye very far to make the adjustment. When the plug tracks left, move the eye to the right. Ease the eye to the left if the plug veers right. A loop knot tied to the eye gives a plug more flexibility in the water. Avoid snaps or snap swivels, particularly when using light line and small plugs.
