EL_ED51 Posted July 10, 2023 Report Share Posted July 10, 2023 The chatter bait hook on the bottom come in packs of two, 4/0 hooks. I bought them, put a zoom fluke on it and threw it around the CA aqueduct. I changed out one of my 6' shad soft SB's. This thing has been melted, superglued, and mended, time for a new one. I grabbed the bottom hook and put it on the SB, threw it in my bag and forgot about it. Saturday night, I had a few minutes before I left, packing up at the lake. I put the black halfwit away and noticed the old SB with the chatterbait hook. So what the heck, threw it on my rod and chucked it. An of course I get bit. I know I lack patience, swung to early. But wow something hit it hard. So I go home look at it and think how can I rig a chatter bait blade that is big enough and strong enough to throw on a bigger soft bait. I took an old chatter bait apart and tried to make a rig. The bait on top. Took it out Sunday morning. It swims straight. But no chatter. Figured its to small or i did something wrong. Also figured the blade felt weak, and not sure I trust it. Im betting some of the guys that fish bigger predator fish have something already made. Who has some insight for me?

Jonnybass64 Posted July 12, 2023 Report Share Posted July 12, 2023 https://bl8nktoutdoors.com/collections/baits/products/g-head-part-2 might be worth checking these out. Haven’t used them but I think they’re intended for what you’re trying to do and they’re 3 bucks so why not EL_ED51 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EL_ED51 Posted July 12, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2023 Thank you gentlemen. Appreciative it. https://barlowstackle.com/magnum-shakee-blades-plated-finishes-p3856/ https://barlowstackle.com/queen-tackle-switch-blades/ Ordered a couple of those and will see if I can attach them to a beast hook 8/0-10/0. I have a couple zman big blades too, think I overlooked it because I already had a weighted beast hook in the SB, was thinking of attaching something to it. But ill give it a go.
