The bladed jig—commonly referred to as a vibrating jigs or Chatterbait—has become a go-to bass fishing lures for anglers all around the country.

One major reason for this success is its versatility via modification. Bending the blade on any given vibrating jig is an excellent way to get more bites when the fishing is tough. It’s quick, easy, and works on every brand of bladed jig I’ve tried it on, be it a V&M Pacemaker Lightning Blade or the Z Man Project Z Chatterbait Chatterbait.
