Also, are there other bases this works well on?

O-schemer the way I did I'm not sure about others, but I curled the prongs towards the front of the base. Then I place them under a little weight over night. Then I put the flame to them and tweaked them to run backwards. The coolest part of the deal is even if you have a base say a Norbert R or Jim Davis base that's strong if you turn the dial right it will flare the defender which ever way the dial is set. So if you want your tackle to keep the defender out turn the dial in then vice versa for blocking down. At first glance it doesn't sound right, but just try it. We all buy thousands of bases to tweak anyway.
