bmlum Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 I was wondering where I could buy some strong figure 8 links to make some chatter baits. I already have a Sparkie mold that I was going to modify and ordered the figure 8 links from Barlows but they seem too thin and i'm able to bend them with my hand. Any help would be appreciated.

AZ Fisher Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 I have a Do-it Casting jig mold # SMJ-3-MF, and I use LPO # 4047-01, figure 8 link, size medium and a spinnerbait hook of your choosing that fits your mold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rfdong Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 I use the ones from Jann's seem a bit sturdier to me. But others use the Barlow ones without problems. I use size 2 and have caught fish to 9.5lbs on them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taxin_that_bass Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 Resurrecting this thread.... I have been trying to make my own chatter baits with connector links, my first attempt i used the barlows connector links in the small size and the wire is way too soft, just the torque of the vibration bends the wire. I can twist the blade and open the wire up. Are the jann's or lure parts pretty heavy duty? I am hoping to simply crimp the open end of the link down after pouring and putting the blade in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our SKU for the size 2 is 410184. You transposed a couple of numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
