I am having a little trouble getting my Jet Divers, especially the #20, to run straight.
I have tried replacing the stock cross-lock snap with a #14 Slide Lock snap (like on Hot 'n Tots, only larger), and then bending the slide lock in the direction I want the Jet to go. Somewhat better.
Any Ideas? Thanks.

What you are trying is the best idea I know of. Treat them like a crank bait, by that I mean run them beside the boat and get them tracking straight, but before you quit, pull the rod forward to increase the speed of the Jet through the water. When they stay straight when ripped...they will track straight.

Good luck, and good fishing.

I no longer use the Jet20 for the same reason. Try the 30 running on a shorter lead to get the same desired depth. The lead weight helps it track better and roll over to dive. Good luck. O F
