Kscatman76 Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 I'm going to start making myself some chatterbaits for personal use. I like the chatterbait project Z that use the Mustad Fastach Clips size 2 and I want to use those on my homemade ones instead of the duolock clips. Have any of you guys used those at all on your chatterbaits (meaning Fastach clips) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MT204 Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 The problem might be trying to get them through the holes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kscatman76 Posted October 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 zman is doing it somehow, I have some on order so I will see how it goes I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Time Bandit Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 I use them on the ones I build because they are beefier than the duolocks. They can be found at Barlows as a "dropshot clip." I like size 32 clips. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kscatman76 Posted October 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2017 okay I feel dumb but I can't get these fastach's to open to get them on the blade. I've ruined 2 already trying to do it. what the heck am I doing wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kscatman76 Posted October 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2017 maybe I'm not supposed to open it. still can't figure out how to get it on that chatterbait blade like the Project Z's are. about to drive me nuts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted October 5, 2017 Report Share Posted October 5, 2017 You might have to file grooves on each side of the connecting hole, so you can rotate the blade around the fastach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kscatman76 Posted October 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2017 I see what your saying, zman isn't doing that though and I'm trying to figure out how to do it like they do. I was trying to unclamp it and hook it and reclamp it but that wasn't working either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MT204 Posted October 5, 2017 Report Share Posted October 5, 2017 Z-man may have some sort of wizzbang machine that bends them in place or they get them semi bent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Time Bandit Posted October 5, 2017 Report Share Posted October 5, 2017 You don't have to open them. You're going to need a solid pair of needlenose pliers, though. I just made a short video on how to do it. Let me upload it to YouTube and I'll link it here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apdriver Posted October 6, 2017 Report Share Posted October 6, 2017 Didn’t take much to scratch the blade. Could probably take a piece of masking tape and put it on just that one side and protect it from scratching. Just a thought. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
