i've seen someone use heat shrink tubing over the eyes before pouring to help with all of that cleanup. helps with the paint on the eye issue too. not sure if it would help here but thought i'd mention it.
Yes you can do that. I don’t do it but it’s not a bad idea
Been loving the Sparkie Jig mold !! made a few chatter baits, and they work like a dream, I watched the past two vid's too since they give different tid-bits. The wire keeper is a bit finiky at times, so i've modified my Jig Mold to be able to hold the wirekeeper in place close to the hook but enough for lead to flow around it, cause before, the wire keeper would be really tight against the hook where the lead needs to flow, but it gets blocked and i ended up with unfinished jigs that i had to melt back down, and redo it.
Glad you found a way to make everything work well!
Awesome! Thanks for sharing!
You’re welcome! Thank you for watching and commenting!
Sweet stuff. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Looks good 👍
Thanks!
They look great!
Thanks!
Just bought a few lead molds. Do you put anything on them before pouring?
No i don’t. Just make sure they are warm when you start pouring. Occasionally I’ll spray blaster dry lube into the mold if I’m not getting complete pours.
i feel adding the keeper is the cause of flashing i normally us a clamp & clamp my mold shut to prevent it from flashing. I am curious did you paint your blades or get them already painted? if so would you do a video of painting the baldes? those are some great colors!! As always thank you for the great videos keep up the great work!!
I painted them myself. I just use spray paint.
Nice!
I'm pretty durable when I'm baked too... but cool video, I was curious how they were made.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the video. I agree with everything you said basically, I would say, making your skirts cute and even sells fishermen but a jagged skirt catches way more bass! Your pretty little taper looks good to us humans but it simply doesn’t look natural to bass! Todd Castledine made a great video that lines up with my statement. I will also give credit where it’s due to Randy Blaukat! He says the same exact thing!
You’re welcome. Glad you liked the video. I don’t normally have a jagged skirt, but I always shorten to make sure my trailer doesn’t get impacted by the skirt strands. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Matt, what heat range heat gun do you use when setting powder paint. I have an older gun and I think I'm thinking of going down to my local HF and getting a new gun. They have several models with different heat ranges so on your suggestion I will make my choice. Thanks again for taking the time to make quality tac building videos
My heat gun only has a high and low setting. Mine may have come from there, I don’t remember. I’ve had it for a long time. I use the high setting.
Awesome
Thanks!
Put a ziptie in place of skirt band
Matt, great video. I watched the very first video you had on making these baits and I noticed you have changed up the wire form you used on the first video I watched. I like this much better. Can you again let us know the number of the form used in this video. Also where are you getting your blades, as well as, the make and model for the 4/0 flipping hooks you are using. I made my first chatterbaits using the wire form you previously used and I used 4/0 VMC spinnerbait hooks. I didn't care for the resultant action of the baits I made. The blades I used were rounded vs these blades you used in this video. Appreciate any help and new material tips you can upgrade me with. Thanks, George Nochta Santee, CA
The info on the components is in the description of the video. Listed out. The blades are from Ali express.
Thanks Matt. I located the hooks and wire forms. When I order the blades from Ali express for the 3/8 & 1/2 oz jigs should I order the medium size blades for the proper action on the finished vibrating jigs? Thanks, George
@georgenochta3725 it’s been so long since i ordered them, I’m not sure. I’d measure a blade you have now and get the one that’s closest
@@MattLunaFishing Yeah for sure. I think I will order a small amount in S, M, & L and that will tell me what size I need. The blades I have are all the rounded edge type sold by Barlow's. Just thought you might have remembered what you used. Have a good Thanksgiving. Once I get my ali blades, I'll post what size I end up using. >+))))>
Nice work Matt as always what is the part number for those 4/0 hooks and can I use smaller hooks also ? Thx
The 4/0 hooks are just a 4/0 flipping hooks. Pick your favorite brand. You can use smaller hooks within reason.
Is there not an option for a 60* hook that fits in the mold without the wire eye? I am hesitant because I feel like that wire would bend out after too much weight or too many catches.
The wire won’t bend out for traditional fishing. Hooks can work, but often opening them and the closing them breaks the hook. They don’t bend all that well depending on brand
So you can put any flipping hook you want in this? Say you want an owner 5/0 Jungle flipping hook in there?
Yeah. Should be able to
How long does it take to get the blades?
It’s been a while since i bought them. Probably couple months. Might find some on ebay
I have the same mold and the same wire forms but no matter how much I squeeze the wire form it will not fit any size less than 1/2 I want to do 3/8 am I missing something here?
Is too long? There’s a smaller wire form out there too that’s the same design
It's the eye of it that's too big. I trimmed it down and that works but would the smaller one have a smaller eye ? Because that would work better. Where can I find it ? Thanks for the response bro appreciate it.
@StevenGifford-tc9iw yea if i remember correctly the whole thing is downsized
Awesome thank you!!! I'll definitely check it out.
@StevenGifford-tc9iw you’re welcome
What brand and number of the flipping
4/0 hooks that were used?
You can use any brand you want. I think these were owner or gamakatsu
How do you fit that keeper next to the hook? Been messing around with my mold and it seems like there isn’t space
There isn’t space for it. You have to set it in the mold where you want it, and then slowly close the mold to pin it in place and then take a mallet and hit the mold until it closes all the way. It’s essentially modifying the mold and forcing it to accept the keeper
@@MattLunaFishing I see , thanks
I use form wey 525. No need to modify.
I like this one because you have the ability to use a smaller hook
Do you have a link to that purple color?
For the head of the chatterbaits or skirt?
Does it hunt like a jackhammer would?
There’s a lot of variables to what makes a bait hunt. Jackhammers hunt better with a thin straight tail trailer. I’ve never used that style trailer on these. You’d have to give it a shot before you’ll know for sure.
I appreciate your video and I make my own jigs ss well. But this is just way too much time. Just assume buy em. But thanks .
Really not that much more time than a jig.
I fish for redfish with chatterbaits those wouldn’t lastblades would open hook eye for sure.
You do realize this is essentially the same design as the actual chatterbait?
"Disclaimer - You can NOT sell chatterbaits or bladed jigs made in this way. Selling chatterbaits or bladed jigs made in this way will violate a patent that Zman owns.".... How about if I just pay you for "shipping and handling"?? :)
No i can’t do that
lol. I still get guys calling and asking me to sell them the original Vibrator Jig.@@MattLunaFishing
Technically patents are not only infringed upon if they're sold. It covers everything from making/using/selling or even OFFERING to sell. There have been a couple people making these that have gotten letters from ZMan telling them to stop.
