http://Added a #1 willow leaf blade and wire guard to a really good design.Really good going through brush piles we have not been able to fish through before. The line tie up front swims through thick cover.Really liking the bat jig very user friendly. Thanks again. Photo's in gallery.

I like the thought behind your modification but I think it would have been better had you imbedded a small size 10 or 12 crane swivel like what is used on pony head jigs like the road runner. I do like your creation but the swivels seems a bit big for that small willow blade, it probably works great but looks a little off balanced but the mods are well thought out and executed, nice work for sure!

We use a 2 1/2 in grub or 3 in grub seems big on these jig heads.Have the pony head/horse head trying to make a longer but keep the same size swivel.actually need a longer swivel(#10/12) The pony head in 1/8 oz will hit the grub body stopping the vibration/flash which we are after of the willow blade.Also the split rings create vibration.which War eagle spinner-baits are famous for.

If you could change the mod to be able to mold the swivel right into the head you might not have the blade banging into the grub. But they look great!
