I have been looking all over online and can't seam to find out what size snaps and split rings to attach blades to the head. I ordered a arkie do it mold to use for the bladed jigs, just haven't got hardware ordered yet. Hate to order the wrong parts. Also where is a good place to buy the blades and hardware. Thanks guys

talk to cw. he's done them before.

From what I have seen looks like #2 snaps and #3 ring.

That's what I use.

Thanks for the info bud, where would you recommend buying the supplies from for quality parts?

I have been looking at barrlows online bc they had just about all the parts, I like their blk blades too. I'm wanting to build a green pumpkin bladed jig to match the fb jig I have been catching fish on lately. Really thought the blk blade would match the green and blk skirt nicely.

This is the jig, I think it should work good with a blk blade. Will be on a arkie head though.

I just powder coat the blades whatever color I want. I believe that I got most of my stuff from Barlows. I ordered some from Hagen's Fish, but you have to order in bulk from them.

I ordered from Barlow got half blk and have silver blades some of the magnum side and some regular size. Got enough to build up 40 of so that should last long enough.

I don't trust my powder painting enough to try and do the blades, my powder job on the jigs is still not very good. Good tip though, I have some red powder and some white glow powder that could be interesting.

Here you go Brad. This is what I used and it is great.

Barlows

Here you go, Brad. Enjoy your perfect powder coat finish from now on.

Airbrush

I have a abrasive gun, I'll have to give that a shot, it sure isn't any good at stripping crankbaits. Thanks for the info.

I like Proluresonline.....EVERYTHING you need....best service and shipping you'll see.....great company to deal with....they even sent my high school bass club a big ol'box of stuff, so I can get the guys involved in making their own lures.......

Here was my first run of bladed jigs

i like. do one with white, silver and holographic flash for the fall. i'll get ready to place my order.
