Z-Man big blade chatterbait

[rustedhook]

Anyone fishing this bait that could fold the blade back inline with the point of the hook and measure the distance from the tip of the blade to the point of the hook?

Thanks

I went to a tackle store and took measurements of the blade and made a template. Traced it onto a magnum chatter bait blade and ground off the excess. First try the blade would not catch water and vibrate. Had to drill a hole to lower the line tie. Works like a charm now. Appreciate your reply>

I actually just posted asking about drilling holes into chatterbait blades - mind sharing what you're working on?  did you just guess for the location of the hole you drilled?

I just tried to match the distance between the two holes where the snap goes, and drilled a hole to move the snap down.
