I was wondering if anybody has measured the thickness of the jackhammer blade compared to a original?

The original, elite, custom can be bent pretty easy. They are pretty thin

Can someone explain to me the difference for the "original chatterbait" and the "jackhammer chatterbait" other than the $10 difference? Is the Jackhammer really that much difference? They're much closer to the original bait that zman bought and then changed. To me its a very similar to the wiggle wart and rapala buying them. They've made changes and now are seemingly working back to the original.

I read on bassblaster that Thrift is working on a prototype Chatterbait with a larger blade.

I fish a gold blade on cloudy days or in muddy water and silver in clearer water and clear days.

I need to get some more experience with blade color selection and options. I tend to use gold or silver based on the lures that I have. I usually pay more attention to the skirt & trailer color. I may have one with a painted blade that matches the lure in a frog colorway.

I read on bassblaster that Thrift is working on a prototype Chatterbait with a larger blade. Back when they were new and hard to get, we'd just use a large Indiana blade slightly bent at the top and drill a couple holes. Take a spinnerbait and cut off the wire about 1/4 inch from head and build our own. They thumped like a big squarebill and caught fish. I've also ordered the bigger blades and used them on original zmans. Definitely works at times...
