Making a FINESSE Bladed Jig (Complete Build)!

[@smalljaw]

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That entire build was RIDICULOUSLY fantastic!!!! I have used mica powder in clear powder paint before. I didn't know the soft plastic pigment could be used the same way. The results are just incredible, no joke Adam, that little bait left me in awe, excellent work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

Thanks Dan! I was psyched about the build in general (always wanted a down-sized chatter!) and all the more pumped to see the skirt pattern and soft plastic idea come together so nicely! Appreciate it my friend, this was a fun one for sure!

[@bryanmasters5423]

Fantastic, fantastic fantastic Adam!!!! Love the powder paint with the color shifting powder. The soft plastics and the colors turned out crazy awesome!!! Thanks for sharing the video! The many color combinations that can be made for the chatter bait and swim jigs are endless!!!!

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

Yes sir, thanks Bryan!

[@LostintheOutdoors]

One word… Outstanding!!! 🤯👏🏻

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

Thanks man! That 3" JH, a Slouch, or even a vertically rigged 3.5 Rocket - man they all pair well with these little dudes! Already caught some on the prototype a few weeks back but need to get out and put the finished product to work!

[@robertmccorkle9656]

You do very impressive work but it seems more like art. I learn something from every build you do.

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

Thanks Robert! That's high praise and truly appreciated!

[@wickedbassn]

I've been working on smaller chatters myself. Sometimes these videos read my mind. Lol

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

Perfect timing!

[@lroyson]

My top 5 all around baits are shakey head, spinnerbait, squarebill, swim jig, flipping jig. Love the color and the small bladed jig is a cool idea and sure to catch them.

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

Thank ya sir! Love the top 5!

[@AlpineCustomCarpentry]

Super awesome build start to finish! I caught my 2 biggest fish on a chatterbait in my last tournament. It's one of my favorites to fish. I need to use ½oz and even up to ¾oz because I'm in current on the Tennessee River mostly unless I get into some creek channel pockets. Looking forward to when i can get a mold or 2 and start making more of my own. Learning a lot from you. Appreciate you, all your insights and openly sharing your tips and techniques!

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

Thanks Eric, glad you enjoyed it! Outside of current, yup, this 1/4oz is dynamite!!

[@jeffreyblair1820]

Those came out AMAZING!!! 👍🏻👍🏻

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

Thanks Jeff! 👊👊

[@christianrosler4030]

Ich mag deine Skirtjigs/ Chatterbait Clips sehr,bitte binde mehr von diesen Muster.❤

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

Freut mich, dass sie dir gefallen!

[@basscatlildave]

Definitely an awesome build. I love the color. Now time for a 1/8 ounce version 😊

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

Thx man!!

[@BradleyWillis]

Great work! Loved the format and style of this video.

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

Thanks Bradley, great to hear! Glad you liked it!

[@robertfrance6843]

AWESOME ADAM !!! NICE LOOKIN JIG, NICE WORK AS USUAL.

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

Thanks Robert, I appreciate that!

[@MJMCHRONICLES]

I will have a drink for you, love your videos and ideas

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

@@MJMCHRONICLES thanks man!! Much appreciated!

[@brianladd4894]

Wonderful job Adam as always may have to get another Jig mold and do some modifications

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

Thanks Brian! Worth your while I’m sure!

[@Fishingwithdave2024]

Awesome job adam! Definitely need to oder those hooks and the smaller mold and makes these as well!!

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

It’s a sweet little package! Thanks man, appreciate it!

[@3HandsCustomTackle]

Adam, very nice job. Great looking bait from lead pour through skirt tie and plastic pour. Super creativity. Thanks for shout outs. By the way, I used that mold and a 32900 hook to make some 1/8 oz bladed jigs. Small blades of course. Takes time but worth the effort.

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

Thanks Art!

[@garybowers9605]

Beautiful! I love all the information you give on your builds. However, this is getting expensive for me! (LOL)😄

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

This was a download video, LOL! My apologies to your wallet :)

[@briananthony6570]

Awesome colors.

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

Thx Brian! Appreciate you watching!

[@jamesphillips2216]

You out did yourself on this build!! The color turned out fantastic and an awesome color combination!! The size jig, blade and trailer matched so well together!! Great tips, using color shift powder in the powder paint 👍 and the beakers for hand pouring!! Thanks Adam for sharing the video!!

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

My pleasure as always James! Glad this one finally came together - been sitting on it finalizing the details for too long! Glad you liked it!

[@haroldbolton3383]

Everything about this was awesome. Think you could do a video dedicated to the paint process used on these baits, couple colors maybe?

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

Thanks Harold! Glad you enjoyed the video! I actually have a few videos that show the paint process. One is when I modified the same type of mold to pour 1/2oz heads - I believe I showed the paint process in it. I also have a dedicated video to painting heads… it’s a longer one, more comprehensive. Here are those links: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eWjOZn-kq8mLj5Y kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4uXeoWae66egJo

[@hookreelfishing]

You are on an Epic Level, good sir!!

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

Thanks man! Appreciate the love!

[@franciscahazlet4021]

You amazed me again on how creative an innovative you are with your color flake combinations you come up with for the lures you use them with. They are great. Well done and as always be blessed.

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

That’s very kind, thank you much! Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@tumbleweedoutdoors1776]

I like that N2 hat in the back

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

Represent! 💪😎💪

[@richshackelford5793]

That color is awesome Adam, Thanks for sharing. One question,How do you keep your shop so clean. Maybe do a video on that. LOL

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

Thanks Rich, glad you liked it! The shops not always that orderly, but I am a creature of order - helps me think! A short video on shop organization, at least how I do it anyway, may be a fun “bonus video” sometime. Thanks again for the ongoing support!

[@brianbochow]

Adam once again thankyou for your time to present this video on your channel...I am too impressed with the paint but however since the Australian dollar has just fell down to 65cents against your greenback dollar...So what does that mean for me no importing anything for a long time to come i am afraid...Just for your info too Adam my top 5 lures to use over here in a season is 1/Buzzbaits. 2/Spinnerbaits 3/Underspins 4/Chatterbaits 5/ Lipless and bibbed Crankbaits... Regards B.J's Custom Baits Australia.

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

Great choices Brian! I thought I may get some questions/comments why a crankbait wasn’t in my list, but I guess people just know I’m a soft plastic and jig guy! LOL. Thanks for watching and for the feedback!

[@comfortablynumb9342]

You might be able to copy the Z Man Hellraiser top water lure with those smaller blades. I haven't seen the originals for sale but I saw a copy already on KZbin. I think it's worth playing with.

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

Sounds interesting!

[@mattress2331]

In this build can you use a Wire form and a spinnerbait hook to? Not sure about the EWG!?!??

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

Yup, I've seen some guys do so 👍

[@mattnolan6979]

My girlfriend and I just found your channel and love your stuff! We've been making lures and pouring plastics for about a year now and your videos are perfect. I have two questions, the link you posted for the medium and tiny vibrating jig blades doesn't exist in Amazon anymore. So can you please tell me where I can find these. We're in Southern Ohio and that medium finesse size is perfect! ( Kinda like the 1/4 oz Chatterbait Mini) Second, I know you can't sell baits with the blade directly connected to an in line hook eye, but it's perfectly fine to make them for yourself. What do you see to be the main pros / cons of the in line connected blades vs. those connected via a split ring on a flat line tie? Thanks for any info. We're looking forward to your next videos!

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

Hey Matt, glad you and your lady found me! I’ve heard the Amazon connection is dead now. I have been able to find them on eBay. Search for “jig dancer” should give you option, just be careful to pay attention to actual measurements. “Medium” isn’t the same size for all types. Regarding the direct connection… I have seen write-ups of Zman even contacting private-use-only guys (not just sellers), pretty crazy! All the same, plenty of guys still make them direct. You get more noise and the action is more “consistent”. A split ring connection doesn’t hit the head and it tends to hunt side to side more (which can actually be advantageous at times). Hope all this helps!

[@ironfishingman490]

I was thinking about a lava craw 1/2 oz chatter bait the other day

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

💰💰💰 come Spring! Better believe it’s on my list!

[@ironfishingman490]

Are you running that through a fluid bed?

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

I am indeed. Original ratio was 3/0 but that was a bit heavy. 6/0 ratio seemed to flow well. Different performance per pigment as some are heavier than others, but 6/0 is a good place to start.

[@ironfishingman490]

Thank you your builds are always awesome bud

[@huntryx1]

Why use powder/clear when you can buy the stuff as powder paint from Barlows?

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

Great question! This video was recorded just before Barlow's releases their line of Nova Stone paints, so now-a-days, YUP... I use the new stuff!

[@ecfd16]

Is that epic mold a whip wad

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

Yup! The bigger one was the WW, such a cool bait!!

[@afksharky5783]

Aaaaaaa

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

Bbbbbbbbbb :)
