Weed Less Chatterbaits?

Recommended Posts

The closest I've found is by adding a chatter-type blade to a weedless arkie jig, using two split rings.

Here's one that's made commercially:

The jig needs to have a vertical eye, and the split rings need to be stout.  When I tried it with a horizontal eye and only one split ring, it stuck sometimes on the cast and didn't chatter.

I've even substituted a piece of weed wacker filament (a heavy plastic) for the fiber weed guard.

They are not weedless, but they come through stickups and sparse tulles much better than ones without the weed guards.
