I made some baits for our banquet in 9 days. The biggest chatterbait is 12.5"long. The bucktails havs different sized blades and a 1oz weight in the middle to keep it riding level. For some reason i had to downsize down to 375 pixels to be able to post. Only 150kb.

Is that french blade paired up with an Indiana or Colorado blade?

Those look great Todd! I'd be interested to see if you experienced any fouling of the Indiana and Mepps blades? I haven't tried that particular combo yet. I'm trying to determine which of the two was riding on the top position?

No tangling. I have already made and used some, not to mention sound science offers a bucktail for sale with that blade combo.

Looks like you are running them in tandem with $6 clevises?

Great Job on those baits. Where did you find those chatter blades?

Look really good!

I am not sure the clevise size but they are the second biggest clevise. So far the only combination of blades that has not worked is with the flat round colorado blade. It is a certain colorado style and to be honest it doesn't work as a single and doubling with another the same size is hard to start. A normal colorado is fine.

JD, rollie and helens has the chatter blades i am using.
