tubetragger Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Good morning.....has anyone had any luck using this method to attach chatter type blades to their jigheads?????? http://www.basstournamentlures.com/swimblades/ghost_minnow_001.jpg Would it be better to use a none flateye hook and just use an O ring to attach it to the hook eye and the bottom of the blade????.....thanks ...........jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WannabeeFishing Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 That's strange. I'd like to see how it affects the action. Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dutchman Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 I remember Edwin Evers say that you should not use a split ring as it will affect the action of the lure. The blade should be fixed to the head direct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WannabeeFishing Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 (edited) I remember Edwin Evers say that you should not use a split ring as it will affect the action of the lure. The blade should be fixed to the head direct. I've heard that comment also. I believe they are indicating that you should tie your line directly to the snap and not to use a split ring between the snap and the line. Barlows shows a split ring being used to attach the blade to the jig. Some of the commercially made chatterbaits use an jig eye that will open and it is connected directly to the blade.

The Dutchman Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 If you look at an original chatterbait the blade is connected to the head directly and not with a split ring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WannabeeFishing Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 Correct. So do the ones distributed by Booyah. I believe the split ring is Barlow's solution for using jigs that don't have eyes that can be opened. I haven't used one rigged like this so I don't know how they perform.

keith combs Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 I have used with and without split ring and can not tell much difference in the two. Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
