I bend the top of the blade (about the top 1/5th) back toward the hook. I bend the blade by using a small hammer and medium "shaping" strikes by laying the top of the blade on the edge of an old trailer hitch ball that I secure in a table vice. This way, I get a bend that is slightly tapered and rounded, rather than a the type of bend you would get by just putting the tip of the blade in a vice and bending it. Take a look at the blade on a Z-Man chatterbait and you'll see what I mean about a rounded, tapered bend.
