Fish On,

Ya, I was told it's suppose to spin, but slowly. It's suppose to look like an eel undulating through the water, and i guess if you only have a profile view, then maybe it looks more realistic? On the tubes I have, there is a swivel built into the front of the tube, and I usually have a ball bearing coastlock or similar type snap swivel attaching the tube to the line. I guess if you were using mono or braid it might have more of a tendancy to twist up the line, but wire, or at least the wire I have, seems to be pretty stiff and doesn't twist. Actually, now that I think of it, the mono leader doesn't seem to twist that much either. But to answer your question, yes it's suppose to spin, and you can tell it is spinning properly by the way the rod tip pulses. Also helps you to tell if you have something on your lure, like seaweed, because it usually stops spinning, hence no more rod action.
