bronzeback185 Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 Does anybody on here make a Arkie style chatterbait jig head. I’m looking to buy some to make my own chatterbait. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Hahn Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 I think that the Sparkie head is far superior to the Arkie head for bladed jigs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronzeback185 Posted February 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 The Sparkie head would work for me. I want it to have the line tie straight with the hook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rfdong Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 Thoughts on why the sparkie head is better Jeff? They seem pretty similar. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Hahn Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 The Sparkie head is wider. That allows the edges of the blade to bang on the jighead during the retrieve. Some folks use a football head, which is even wider. But, I have never tried that style. The Sparkie is about as close as you can get to the same head shape as on the original RAD Chatterbait. I have made a few using the Arkie head. They vibrate just fine, but the blade doesn't hit the head. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
