Kscatman76 Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 Been making my own chatterbaits with the help of everyone on here. They are awesome and they work great! I have been bending my blades, however i see alot for sale on facebook or even tacklewarehouse where the people are selling and fishing them as is and don't bend them? So what do you do and why?

Anglinarcher Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 Depends. Take some to the water and test one bent, one un-bent. I find that on many of mine (have blades from different sources) that I don't need to bend them, but on others I need to bend them to get them to work at slower speeds. I wish I could tell you where I got the ones that don't need bending but I mixed them without thinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apdriver Posted February 21, 2018 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 I bend mine as they vibrate good even at a slow roll speed. I’ve caught my best fish fishing them slow and bumping cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNC Molds N Stuff Posted February 21, 2018 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 Its definitely a per blade (and even per jig choice) thing. I bought some bulk flipping jigs a while back on one of the FB groups that just kill with a flat blade, but other jigs I have tried died unless I bent the blade.
