Looks like a good night fishing or muddy water bait.

The blue really shows up in the pic I’ve the black. Love throwing the black and blue at night and the pumpkin/green pumpkin in the day.
Donnie they look good to me. What hook are you using that you can open the eye like that?
got any pictures of the results with that bait at night?
Dane I’m using a figure 8 link with a spinnerbait hook. I also a flat eye hook with a split ring on a football head and they both chatter real good. Come by sometime and let’s see what we can come up with.Originally Posted by Jig_Man
Way to be a MacGyver on that. They look great. I have been using the Troaker Swim Jig with a split ring lately.
Not yet but when then water warms up enough I’ll see what happens.
Where can you find a 1 ounce arky mold?
This is an old custom mold that came from a company that no longer uses it. But Do-It use to make a Sparkie mold in large sizes that works great, I use it a lot. Not sure if they still make it though.
I have this one. Just need to modify to accept the figure 8

What blades are you using?
Blades I bought many years ago.
Do any of you bend the blade?
Always.

? do you bend it "in" or "out"? Trying to get confidence in this type lure thanks ...BF
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.

Sometimes!
Big flat
these baits really do work great..
I don't doubt that. Just wanted to know which way those that choose to bend the blade, bend in or out. (not over)...BF
