spbubba Posted February 7, 2018 Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 (edited) What is the best spinnerbait mold to make chatterbaits from ? I am looking for the head to contact the blade as close to the original and the Phenix brand as possible. I am down to one of the original chatterbaits and a handful of the Phenix baits. Time to start making my own. Edited February 7, 2018 by spbubba Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBarlow Posted February 7, 2018 Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 I use the Ultra Minnow Spinner Bait mold. JB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted February 7, 2018 Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 The fatter the head, the more contact you'll get. I typically use Arkie/Sparkie jig heads, but I also use swim jig heads, and spinnerbaits that have been bent out of shape too often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only rework my own jigs and spinnerbaits that have seen better days for myself. I would never try and sell them to anyone else. I've been doing it for years. Otherwise, my old baits would go in the recycling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
