Poison Chatter Jig

Recommended Posts

I have made bladed jigs from almost a dozen style heads. I think The Trokar Pro Swim Jig mold is the best.  This head allows for the blade to lay back and expose the hook. Unlike many others. I modified my mold to accept the regular eye 28-30* hooks. Comes through the weeds awesome too.  Has an eye socket for baitfish looking if wanted.

I have and it works great (at least i think).  It took a little research fron here and trial and error to figure it out.  What i do is:

1.  Flip the wire form around so what was the bottom is now the top.  You can easily slip the blade on the open loop after paining.

2.  I then cut the new bottom (the squareish part) to be able to slip the hook on.  This cut is easy to crimp shut.  Figuring out where to cut is what took trial and error.

3.  Pour, paint, apply skirt, blade, hook, fish.

I haven't had any straighten and i think it works great.  I think That Guy Skimpy also has a youtube video of this or something similar.  Feel free to let me know if you have any questions.

I’ve also made a chatterbait using this mold, I did it differently to how most are.

i used a spinnerbaits hook and a open eye s link, I opened both eyes, then closed one around the spinnerbaits hook, I then sat the open end where the eye of the wire form sits, I then pour, I then open the eyelet out from the lead a bit before I paint, while the powder coat is still soft I place the blade, close the eye and hang from the hook to cure in the oven.

 

i reckon the curing helps bond the eye back to the head
