So gave it a try, not sure why I didn’t notice it before but I guess I just assumed the mold would come at the right angle? But bait as pictured ran perfectly. I knew you folks would know. Not sure what everyone else uses mold wise but seems like having to bend every time would be inconsistent? thanks again for the advice and this thread.

Thanks gents, I’ll give it a try. The rear blade spins fine. Clevis is size 3, I actually tried a size 2 but wire is too big anyways. Tried with and without bead in front no difference. I only used a paddle tail to give some weight but had same issue with other versions using skirt. Another question regarding bending the wire, will it weaken the entry/exit point from the head? Seems like pressure on the line tie from catching fish would straighten it back? If that solution works would it be better to modify the mold to that angle? I know first things first but…..

Thanks again for starting this thread.. strictly a newbie and have made a few that run great but really having trouble with the Do-it bullet head spinnerbait. Just can’t get the front blades to spin. Here’s a few and none of these will spin. Experimenting with size of blade too. 1/2oz on a super stainless frame. First one I tried both 1 & 2 spacers and no go. Second one went to a bigger blade and still won’t spin. i don’t think they are overlapping and hitting as it never spins at all unless i burn it, also played with size of loop at the end but no change. I know some advice above said blades need to be more even with head but I’ve got other store bought with blades above head and they spin fine. Need some expert advice.

I would some thoughts on clevis size and swivel size? Does it make a difference? Or not as long as blade and wire fit? I’m a novice and only making 3/8 and 1/2 oz size. also what size hook do most use?

I am playing around with this hook as well. Seems like a pretty good solution but do with it was a little stouter.

So looking for some ideas. Would love to find the Jackhammer hook but not sure it exists in the wild except small packs of the Game heavy cover flipping hook. But for guys who are pouring their own bladed jigs, what hook and size are you using? I started with the standard spinnerbait hooks but would like to find shorter shank and wider gap hook. TIA Rob

Thanks. I think I found some very similar on Ali. What size are you using?

Do you know of any other way to contact? I’m not on Facebook. Thanks

Can I ask who makes those? They look interesting. Thanks!

Dave, curious do you find that bending at the line attachment changes the action as compared to the "traditional" bend at the top?
