I don't think it is the reel, but more the retrieval speed.
-Are you jigging the rod as well as reeling in the jig?
-Jig, reel, jig, reel, repeat.
- Drop to bottom and burn one straight up.
Cast, let sink, and cover as much diagonal water as possible.
All workable techniques.
Some Jigs (for whatever manufacturing reason) do not swim perfectly straight off the shelf.
Sometimes you can trim off big globs of paint under the rings and it will make a difference.
It can be a trial and error process to match your retrieval speed to a jig. Once in awhile I get one that swims nicely, and I mark it with a marker for easy reference.
