mark poulson Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 I like the weedless Arkie jig mold. I'm sorry, but I don't know the number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadman Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 (edited) SPJ-3-ATK Do-It Trokar Pro Swim Jig Mold. Pour without the weedguard and use one split ring and you're good to go. The completed bait would look similar to the attached pic below. If you have any questions about the construction feel free to ask.

Jig Man Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 The one I like best is the Trokar swim jig. You can use old spinnerbaits if you don't have a mold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
normans Posted January 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 Cadman could I ask what size split rings would I need to have for the best action. Do the chatter blades come in different sizes if so what size provide the best action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalljaw Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 You can use the Sparkie head but I'm in agreement with Cadman and Jig Man. I like the Trokar Pro Swim Jig as well, it comes down to how you want to attach the blade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
normans Posted January 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 I already have that mold so that is a good thing , one of my problems is that there are so many sizes of things like split rings and blades and duo lock snaps that you have to get . I some how almost always buy the wrong size and get something you would use to catch a great white shark not a Black bass ! Thank you for your help I am down here in Texas living the dream !

Normans, BTW welcome to TU. Give me about and hour, and I will get you the split ring size and snap lock size that I use . Just and FYI, You can use whatever you want. On the blades, I've only seen them in one size, with and without bubbler holes. However I remeber seeing a blade for a musky chatter that was bigger, but don't remember where. You can get the blades, split rings, lock snaps and blade decals from LPO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadman Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 (edited) Normans, This is what I use: #2 Duo-lock Snap #2 Split Ring For the hooks, I use Eagle Claw EL 2706. The reason being is these hooks have a bigger hook eye, that lets the split ring move freely in there. In the 1/4 oz a 4/0 will fit, in the 3/8 oz a 5/0 will fit and in the 1/2 oz a 5/0 and a 6/0. These are very heavy strong hooks. Edited January 29, 2019 by cadman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jig Man Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 I believe you can find different sizes of blades at Barlow's. I think they call them shakey blades or something like that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

21xdc Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 I prefer the Trokar Pro Swim jig. I have made about 10 different style heads including ones mentioned above. I have no reason to try and make one just like the original. They make 5 versions for a reason, They still have not perfected it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
normans Posted April 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2019 I just wanted to show how well the chatter bait came out. The information you all gave me was spot on I think it turned out real good, as you can see in the picture I sent ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because if I was a magician, I would be able to load up the boat with fish and become a professional fisherman. Maybe my "Magical" jigs aren't really that magical.
