Here's a quick video on how to tune a crankbait.
It's really pretty simple. If your lure is pulling to one side, hold the crankbait so it's facing you and bend the tie-on eyelet in the OPPOSITE direction.
That sounds simple enough but, I can't overemphasize the need for conservatism. You don't want to break the diving lip or eyelet so, it's best to have to do it three or four times to get things right rather than over do it with one shot!

Tuning you crankbait is important because you want precise control of your lure if you fish around downed trees or grassy areas where big ones often hang out.
Until next time--watch your line and watch yourself!
