So by tweaked do you mean you fished it when the salmon were around \:\)

I've seen modifications, even people cut them and half and fish them, but what did you do...

My uncle use to pin them down on the hook to prevent them from sliding up the mainline, basically a diamond jig at that point.

How about the hootchie under the BB? Maybe even try a spin'glo above it. what worked for you ! \:\)
