Neat  --  & Slick use of a double rattle holder.  Never seen this "trick" before.

thanks man. it has enough room to avoid wackin the body. plus i hate spinnerbaits so to me this is my spinnerbait. i fish a 10'' ribbon tail the same way just without the jig head. the blade hub sits on my knot & i peg my weight so it stays all in 1 place

Nice setup.  Do you have any trouble with the blade rig trying to helicopter?

I haven't, but I know some guys are using it with a real light weight and using it like a wake bait.

I've been using them behind really big inline buzz baits for Northern Pike...and so far they love them. With the water cooling the big girls are coming into the backwater bays and it will get real interesting!

Or really big spinner baits:

Only problem is that if you have two guys in the boat you have to wear a helmet when throwing the darn things!!!
