The orientation of the tail works in combination with the ballast location and the joint spacing to make the bait work properly. Getting it wrong may result in a bait that does not swim properly. Step 1: Remove anything remaining in the tail slot. Glue, tail, and pin Step 2: Ensure that your replacement tail is not too thick for the slot Step 3: Position the tail with the arrow facing up Step 4: Place a thin layer of Sil-Poxy on both sides of the tail and in the slot Step 5: Slide tail into place and replace the pin. Step 6: Hang bait by the line tie. DO NOT leave the bait laying on its side to dry. Ensure that the tail is straight in line with the bait. Wait 20 minutes and then go fishing!
