How to make Micro Bladed Jigs

[@baitchuckin]

I gotta start getting some of these lead molds so I can make my own jigs. I already have the lead pot. Great Video brother!!

[@N2TW_customlures]

It’s super fun to play around with and you can make jigs with the exact hooks and components you want 🤙

[@jigisuplurecraft]

Jacob, love it!!! I've been making some similar micro spinnerbaits using the Poison Swingtail mold - love taking a traditional design and using a little ingenuity to downsize it. Well done!

[@N2TW_customlures]

I’m always tinkering with stuff and trying to find new ways to make stuff lol. Appreciate you watching 🤙

Very nice work as usual! Great video! 👍🏼

@@five.0custombaits thanks Toby!! Hope you have a good weekend buddy 🤙

[@Baitmakerz]

Looks great. I will definitely have to try this

[@N2TW_customlures]

I’ve caught a ton of fish with them in our little neighborhood pond too!! So much fun to throw

[@kayakak77]

Great video! I like this version, I've been doing it a little different. This is way better.

Where are you, are you done doing videos. Your one of my favorites

[@N2TW_customlures]

@@danbilleci6786 yes I’ll still be making videos. I’m still getting settled in at the new place and trying to get the shop back up and running 🤙 I appreciate your support and checking in

Crazy! I was just commenting over on the SDG channel about an alternate for micro blades and boom you nailed it!!

[@N2TW_customlures]

It’s a really fun thing to throw when the fish are keyed in on smaller profiles. Thanks for watching Clint 🤙

[@clintjenkins13]

@@N2TW_customlures I’ve been wanting to downsize since I fish a lot a skinny water. I believe in what you said, sometimes the fish don’t want a monster bait

[@N2TW_customlures]

That is so nice! Love it! Thanks for sharing this buddy! Hope you have a great weekend!

[@N2TW_customlures]

Thanks David!! It’s a lot of fun to throw on BFS or finesse setups

[@johnphillips3429]

Enjoyed the video! I’ve always wanted to try a small chatterbait for crappie. I’ve had great success using bladed road runner type jigs for crappie and I think a small chatterbait would work as well

[@N2TW_customlures]

I’ve caught bluegill, crappie and bass on these. They work really well 🤙

[@frankhunt5018]

Wow, those are awesome. I'd love to try these on Canadian Smallies at the end of the month.

[@N2TW_customlures]

I’m sure they would do great for some aggressive smallies!!

[@frankhunt5018]

@@N2TW_customlures Absolutely, can you make me some of these? Electric Chicken, solid Pink or Chartreuse? I'm going to Canada in late August and the lake is filled with smallies and Walleye, mostly smallies.

[@N2TW_customlures]

@@frankhunt5018 unfortunately I can’t sell this style because of Zmans patent on the direct connection blade

[@frankhunt5018]

@@N2TW_customlures Okay, no worries. I understand.

[@jigisuplurecraft]

As an aside, if you ever want to try a more premium hook for that same application, I've heard that the Gamakatsu B10S fly tying hook can sometimes be substituted for that VMC hook... Food for thought!

[@N2TW_customlures]

I’ll definitely look into those hooks. I’m always willing to test new stuff lol

[@jimk4267]

Great hook for that bait. Everyone uses round bends. I do not like them on spinnerbaits and swim jigs. I started using the weird bent Trokar's on my spinnerbaits. Landing percentage greatly increased over a round bend gammy.

[@N2TW_customlures]

I’ve had extremely good luck with these hooks. Fish get hooked easily and stay pinned really well 🤙

[@LastCastChingy]

I used these last night and they are definitely work!

[@N2TW_customlures]

[@Senkomaniac]

​@@N2TW_customluresthanks for the cool video. Just a question on the wire that you put the blade onto, does it not bend open when you are pulling on a fish?

[@N2TW_customlures]

@@Senkomaniac I have never had a wire bend open on me. Even on full size bladed jigs and catching larger fish they stay closed. I’m sure if you had a heavy rod, heavy line and set the hook like a linebacker then there is a potential but it’s never happened to me lol

[@Senkomaniac]

@@N2TW_customlures cool thanks man. Appreciate what you do for the bait making community. You have inspired me to make my own lures and turn into a nice side hustle.

[@craigvandyke9298]

Great video, question what kind of tape is that your using

[@N2TW_customlures]

@@craigvandyke9298 it’s just some 3M double sided tape that I leave the plastic on the top side to keep the hooks from sticking to. I’ll link it below a.co/d/iL0qOEI

What football head mold and shakey head mold do you recommend?

[@N2TW_customlures]

@@michaelbarbieri9871 for a standard football head I use the mold below with an Owner 5304 hook. barlowstackle.com/Do-It-Football-Weedless-Jig-Mold-P260/?afmc=198 For a shakey head I use the one below with VMC 7247 long shanks hooks because I like screw locks but if you prefer no screw lock then I would go with the Randy Howell shakey head mold barlowstackle.com/copy-of-do-it-screw-loc-shake-it-jig-molds/?afmc=199

[@yasinozkaran4417]

Hello sir, I am a beginner. Can I ask you a question? Can you tell me how to choose the jighead weight?

[@N2TW_customlures]

I generally pick the weight of the head based on how deep I’m trying to fish. If I am fishing in deeper water or water with stronger current then I’ll pick a heavier head. If I’m fishing shallow or if I just want to keep the bait higher in the water column then I’ll go with a lighter head

[@yasinozkaran4417]

@@N2TW_customlures Sir, I don't have much experience. What are the disadvantages of not increasing the jighead weight in deep water or current water?

[@N2TW_customlures]

@@yasinozkaran4417 in deep water it takes longer for your bait to sink to the desired depth and the bait will tend to rise towards the top more on your retrieve. In current the bait will get pushed around a lot faster with lighter heads and potentially roll over on their side. The heavier weights can help keep the bait upright and not get pushed around as much by the current
