This happened when I was using the Ozark Crankbait. It would swim on it's side. See the below link. I've also been using these for weeks now and haven't noticed this until yesterday? Maybe it's beat up? Maybe something is off? I casted this thing maybe like 100 times from the time I got it. Also, I'm not sure if it's worth noting but I have never rinsed or cleaned these. These are used in Fresh water lakes. No ocean or saltwater. Also when this happened I reeled it all the way and just enough for me to check the action in the bank water right in front of me. I would position my rod straight at it and it would swim correctly but when I hold on the rod to my side and reel, it did the side thing. I tried reeling
For when it spins and twists my lines, I was using this (what seems like a Chinese brand. Probably it is) bait with propellers. Maybe I was doing it too fast? But towards the end I started reeling slowly enough just for it to come up and starting making those bubbles. I VAGUELY remember this one turning on it's side also or was in the process of doing a full rotation. I'm not sure
