- This blade is also available with a bend, see item numbers 1230 and 1232.
1. Required Tools
- Split Ring Pliers (Essential for opening the rings without bending them out of shape)
- Long Nose Pliers (For holding components and closing snaps)
2. Parts List
- Bladed Swim Jig Head: Choose your preferred weight (typically 3/8 oz or 1/2 oz) with a horizontal line tie/eyelet.
- Jig Dancer “Shaker” Vibrating Blade: These are the specialized vibrating blades that give the bait its signature thump and side-to-side wobble.
- Split Ring (Size 2 or 3): Connects the blade to the jig head.
- Duo-Lock Snap (Size 2 or 3): Attaches to the front of the blade where you tie your fishing line.
- Silicone Skirt: Hides the hook and flares out in the water to mimic baitfish.
- Soft Plastic Trailer (Optional): A swimbait, craw or fluke-style trailer to add bulk and action.
Step 1: Attach the Duo-Lock Snap to the Blade
- Open your Duo-Lock Snap using your long-nose pliers.
- Feed the snap through the top two holes of the Jig Dancer Shaker Blade from the back side.
- Snap it firmly shut. This loop is where you will eventually tie your fishing line when you go fishing.
Step 2: Thread the Split Ring onto the Blade
- Take your Split Ring Pliers and wedge the tooth into the Split Ring to separate the wire strands.
- Feed the open split ring through the single bottom hole of your shaker blade.
- Rotate the split ring with your pliers until it clears the hole completely and sits loosely in the blade.
Step 3: Connect the Blade to the Jig Head
- Open the split ring with your Split Ring pliers and slide the horizontal eyelet (line tie) of your jig head into the gap.
- Crucial Blade Alignment Check: Ensure that the front side of the blade is facing forward (convex side facing forward). This creates the side-to-side hunting action.
- Spin the split ring all the way through until it clicks shut, securely trapping both the blade and the jig head eyelet together.
Step 4: Install the Silicone Skirt
- Pro-Tip: Rub a tiny bit of chapstick or lip balm onto the collar of the jig head. This acts as a harmless lubricant so the skirt slides on smoothly without tearing.
- Grab your silicone skirt, keeping the strands even, and slide the rubber collar of the skirt over the hook point.
- Push it all the way up the hook shank until it seats firmly on the jig head's collar. Give the strands a gentle tug to ensure they flare out evenly around the hook.
Step 5: Add Your Trailer

A Must Have!
by Lure Building Wisconsin
Have used these blades for several years now and they give great results. One of the most used baits each time we head out on the water. Can bring them in fast or slow.
High quality blades!
by RI Bass Guide
High quality blades! I use these to build my own bladed jigs. Never a problem with them. They help me catch bass here in New England on a regular basis :)
Quality chatter blade knock-off
by Bass Assassin
Some of the Chatter blade knockoffs don't swim properly, but this one works well. Make sure you use a size #2 duo-lock snap of blade won;t swim properly. Love the gold plated ones but they are spendy. Overall a quality blades that really makes your jig dance in the water.
Ideal Size and Vibration is best...
by Howard
LPO has done a great job. These blades move well, have a ton of colors to choose from, have ideal size and they just catch fish. I build bladed jigs by connecting these blades with 'Ball Bearing Swivels with Split O-rings' or with just 'O-rings'. I think it outperforms the bladed jigs that are directly connected to head of jigheads. I don't go bass fishing without bladed jigs made with these parts.
Jig blades needed
