Fishing the beautiful rivers of NE Ohio that flow into Lake Erie. Right now primarily fishing for smallmouth but occasionally target catfish, carp, panfish, pike, gar. Great Lakes steelhead all winter long.

They both got fished today and both leaned a bit to one side while moving through the water. Initially I thought an uneven body shape acted as a rudder but maybe I need to twist the wire connecting the hook to the first shank a bit. Anybody have any input on this?
