Does anyone here make their own vibrating jigs (chatterbaits)? Im thinking about trying it out. Any tips on head design, hook style, blade size? Thanks!

I have used an arky jig mold with the cross eye hook and used a split ring and blade. You can get blades from lurepartsonline or many other retailers. You can grind down a base hole pin and then you can pour heads without a weedguard hole if you want to.

You can get chatterbait heads from lurepartonline too...i think! If not there I saw them on Barlows website. They come with an open eye and you just put the blade through the eye and bend it closed.

I like the Poisen or Bullet style heads for the chatterbait type lures. The type of blades I use the vertical eye is what I have to use.

These are my double split ring versions, I also make one using a single split ring with a round head, both work really well and I use them a lot. The hook you use will depend on the head you decide to use, once you know that, send me a PM and I'll help you out.

I am thinking either a Gammy 474 or an Owner swim jig hook (if I can find it). I want this in a bullet-style jig head with a light 10 or 12 strand weedgaurd. Those come in a vertical eye. I'll PM you.

Nice chatters, by the way!

This is the first I've seen of chatterbaits with reflective foil, is it on both sides? Nice baits

Nice chatterbait Smalljaw.

I make mine with a football head. I really like how they balance with the football head. I get the blades from Janns netcraft and mold them on a 4/0 Mustad hook.
