I saw them profiled on basscenter and tried to find them and they are backordered everywhere. Anyone making these yet?

[royce]

whats the blade thickness on those things - looks to be brass?

[vinnybass]

Here's some I made:
http://im1.shutterfl...108AaNWzlw3btsI used.007" stainless steel shim stock for the blades & shad type heads for the body.

Hmmm, I guess I'd better go back & read the posts on pics.

[WVaGitzit]

Vinny, can you tell me how you make these? It seems simple, but pics of them never show the back side of that blade.

Maybe some close up shots of both sides, if you could. thanks

[vinnybass]

Send me your e-mail & I'll e-mail you some good photos.

[WVaGitzit]

Thanks I will get this out to you when I get home (can't send email from work).

[WVaGitzit]

Thought of another way, I pm'd you my email address, so check you inbox and thanks for your time.

[vinnybass]

No sweat, photos on the way.

You want to make a killer chatter type bait?
I used a .015 stainless steel material for the blade and modified the mold so the blade will fit onto the hook before molding! NO SPLITRINGS PLEASE!!!! Kills action.
You'll love it!!!
I do.

I wonder about this. I fish streams, many days the fish flee from the path of the chatter. So now I usually throw it in last, unless Smallies prove they are agressive with it.

The Chatters with the split ring don't hit the head so there is less thump. Maybe this will mean less spooked fish? They still kick out plenty of vibration but not as much.

The orginal, non split ringed style catches big fish for sure, but has just as many days when it scatters a hole.

Anyone else find the split ring versions snag up easier?

One things for sure, the trailers, hooks, and skirts on the original suck.

First test run with my new CB (split ring) netted a couple of nice Smallies 17.5 and 15.5 in some super high muddy water, so far, so good.

[HAWGHUNNA]

Ain't both of those smallies world records?

[braveviper]

They probally would be records if he was talking about pounds.I think he was talking about inches.
