its way easier to use a punch on a hard surface to open the eye. never had a hook break doing it with punch. great video, thanks for all the excellent content you put out.

@dylanmorgan8620 7 лет назад

Awesome thanks so much ordered a 7' 3" moderate action rod about a week ago and I was just getting a little reassurance that I got the right power for what I want to use it for

Hey Ben, thanks for your fishing knowledge, really appreciate your time

So cool that you came through for us and made the video...Thanks!!! Definitely do some more vids if you can.

@jewishcoupon 6 лет назад

Genius opening up the eye on the blade!Biggest problem I've had has been the blade not getting enough movement!

@otalldon5582 7 лет назад

Enjoyed your video, was exploring making some with an arkie jig. After watching, I'm warming up to the thought of using this jig. Will look into getting a mold to make mine... You definitely answered some questions I had. Good stuff brother...

I have a swimjig mold that takes a 30 degree hook. Will that work too?

@jordans5674 5 лет назад

I ordered some of those 6th sense jigs, just wondering how you manage the already installed weed guard? Do you pull them out or use a heat tube over it?

@Overwatcher397 7 лет назад

If you don't want the hook eye to break try heating it up with the torch to almost red hot it won't have as much tension and won't break as easily

@PamelaKivi 6 лет назад

If you pour your own jigs you can use a hook that is short enough that the line tie loop is buried in the lead and add your own line tie exposed at any angle you want. Nothing to break or bend!

@johncoyote6755 7 лет назад

Dude. Awesome channel.

The pliers look like linesman pliers that electricians use , I used them for over 30 years as an electrician. Now I can put them to A Good Use. Lol.

I just bought 2 z man chatter baits Any ideas to correct the flaws before use. Nice video

@--RSL-- 5 лет назад

what flaws? I catch plenty on zman chatters

@Stratollac 7 лет назад

Excellent video. I'd recommend that you get some UV cure resin (Loon makes it in several thicknesses, as do a couple other manufacturers) from a fly shop and at least put a bit on top of the eyes. If you use the thinnest type, you might coat the whole head for additional protection. It would probably add less than a minute to your process and would secure and possibly even accentuate the eyes. Just a thought...

@kituwahband 7 лет назад

@stevenmcclelland1859 6 лет назад

@nickycritic5269 7 лет назад

Those "really really wide grip pliers" are called linesmans. You can fined them in the electrical isle. 👍🏼

@dylanmorgan8620 7 лет назад

What rod (power and action) would you use to throw a 3xd through a 5xd. Or any other deep diving crankbait that weighs between 7/16 of an oz to 1oz

@MillikenFishing 7 лет назад

Hey Dylan with those 10-15 ft divers I really like a 7'6" MH Moderate action graphite rod.

@robertcwillifordii2630 2 года назад

My favorite mod is to cup the blade edges forward with the straight edge of a pair of needlenose plyers, so it catches water better and vibes harder (backwards catches less water, so it vibes softer, of course).

@bencasteel8786 7 лет назад

if youll put your other hand right behind whatever it is your trying to get a close up on it will focus 100 times better!!! I'm diggin the lure videos keep up the good work!

@roykinnaiii8690 5 лет назад

Use a heat gun to heat up your jigs, about 6-8 seconds per side on a jig that size does well. If you are not going to use a fluid bed have the powder paint in something big enough to dip the jig in. I use forceps to hold onto the eye of the jig to get less paint in it.

@kmfw1160 7 лет назад

these tackle making and modification videos are great brother. btw... it's a 'lineman's tool;', like dude said down below lol...and they're super fun to fix the wire cutting part

@sewkingwet 5 лет назад

linemans pliers are the only tool to use for crimping terminal ends. those are not lineman pliers, they have a cutting edge on end, with two or three crimping style dies after the pivoting joint. he isn't using a lineman's pliers

@andrewlundgren9103 7 лет назад

What would you guess your cost to make a chatter bait would be vs. buying a Z man or some other brand?

@MillikenFishing 7 лет назад

Depends on how many I break haha if I got it on the first time....$2-3

@nickvelez7349 7 лет назад

Milliken Fishing what size of hooks are your favorite and also what size are you using to do your lures?

@vegasvato55 6 лет назад

about .18 cents on the dollar or approximately 1/6th the cost of buying one... with the added bonus of being able to trailer your colors and trailers... As far as brand name goes frankly i have caught strippers on a Texas rigged boot string so it doesn't matter who make it or how expensive it is, if the person throwing it doesn't know what they are doing they wont catch fish anyway...

@roybain7197 7 лет назад

Have you tried making it with a wobble head jig? If so, did the extra joint in the bait stop it from tracking correctly? I'm curious because I think the moving link between the head and hook might take leverage away from the fish and increase hook up/catch ratio. Thoughts before I give it a shot?

@MillikenFishing 7 лет назад

Never tried that Roy! Go give it a shot and see how it goes. I feel the swing head works because it's a natural presentation and action, so adding more hardware may take away from the realism...but you can never know until you try.

@MKultra209 5 лет назад

Try using 30 lb split rings. I found them to create more room for movement while still swimming true.

@decoyn-7782 7 лет назад

Is it me or is the unpainted poison tail jig heads not showing up on their website. It links to the weedless but can't find the ones without the guard. I made a bunch of these last year with parts from Barlows, but I did mine with the split rings and wanted to try making them without.

@MillikenFishing 7 лет назад

Yes I use the ones that are weedless, then pull the weedguard out with pliers. Thanks for watching!

@ReanuBeeves 7 лет назад

Milliken Lures???

@CrunkyOMan83 7 лет назад

Why don't you add the blade while heating the head with heat so it won't break?

@ShaneJMcNair 4 года назад

You can take a blunt point punch to spread open up the eye of the hook by hitting it on a vise or anvil. No twisting so less breakage. To close back just clamp in the vise. CREDIT goes to The Skimpy Guy channel. Thanks for sharing

@NellysfishingAdventures 7 лет назад

Sick video I gotta try this. When you say add a split ring to change the action, do you put the split ring on the line tie? so then you'll be tying the line directly to the split ring?

@MillikenFishing 7 лет назад

No I meant between the blade and the head. Thanks for watching!

@cocothejerk 7 лет назад

would u consider selling these? if so I'm interested

@MillikenFishing 7 лет назад

Milliken Fishing I can see alot of people buying your baits. specially chatterbaits because they are so versatile. you could also make swim jigs and etc. I think it would be a big success

@cdorey96 7 лет назад

Milliken Fishing is there any way you could message me or email me more in depth info on bending the hook, I have the same pliers you used in the video and I'm not having much luck bending the eye without it breaking, I know they are meant to bend like that so it's expected but just wanted maybe some tips, just seeing if you have found the "best" way to do it. Thanks again

Pretty late to the party here, but the wide pliers you are using are referred to as linemens pliers incase you need to ask a hardware store about them.

@lonnie6361 7 лет назад

Love the video and the knowledge but when you push the bait toward the camera it goes out of focus and I can't see a good pic. I don't have the best eyes so maybe it's just me. You might consider leaving it close to the camera long enough to let it focus. Thanks again!

Try opening the eye up before you heat treat the metal. With such a small piece of metal your tempering the metal making it stiffer yet more brittle.

@jordans5674 5 лет назад

Z&N Outdoors if you make chatterbaits with the blade connected in the hook eye, and advertise them for sale publicly, z-man will come after you very aggressively with threats of lawsuits. They absolutely do not play when it comes to competition and their grip on that patent.

@calebbrown8821 7 лет назад

Use a gd o-ring

@MillikenFishing 7 лет назад

Please explain

@calebbrown8821 7 лет назад

Milliken Fishing using an o-ring would eliminate the need to bend the hook eye and make the chatter a lot stronger over all also using an o-ring with give the lure a better and more acratic action
