Figure 8 links for bladed jig?

Recommended Posts

I was wondering where I could buy some strong figure 8 links to make some chatter baits. I already have a Sparkie mold that I was going to modify and ordered the figure 8 links from Barlows but they seem too thin and i'm able to bend them with my hand.  Any help would be appreciated.

Resurrecting this thread....

I have been trying to make my own chatter baits with connector links, my first attempt i used the barlows connector links in the small size and the wire is way too soft, just the torque of the vibration bends the wire.  I can twist the blade and open the wire up.  Are the jann's or lure parts pretty heavy duty?  I am hoping to simply crimp the open end of the link down after pouring and putting the blade in.
