Coffin Bill Shaker Blades Coffin Dancer Is Real
Since Apdriver sent me some to try (thank you again) I've been opening the eye on my jigs (Mustad hooks), and adding the blade. Some people twist the eye open and slip the blade on, and then twist it back, but I use the awl method. Works fine.
Back when the chatterbait first came out, my buddy and I tried to duplicate it using spinnerbait blades and split rings. While they worked, they would sometimes lock up on the cast, and were a pain to make. And the brass blades didn't hold up.
When Predator began to sell the components, I thought I'd died and gone to heaven!
A friend who makes TNT jigs uses two split rings for his Claymore Jig, his version of a bladed jig, and it works really well, too, in the off colored water I fish now. Lots of movement from the looser attachment.
We caught fish on our homemade jigs way back when, so I know that almost any configuration will get bit.
For me, a more direct connection is easier, and works just fine.
