I've decided to start bagging the grass instead of mulching it.
Problem is, I'm now finding that the grass clogs the chute in
short order.

Check to see if the bottom of the bag (usually formed by a stiff sheet
of flat plastic) is angled up or down (in terms of direction away from
the chute). The bottom should be at least flat (parallel with the
ground) or even angled down at the far end of the bag. This allows the
grass to fly out the chute and go as far as possible into the bag. Bend
the wire bag support frame if necessary.

Is your lawn flat, or does it slope? Mowing in the downhill direction
will also tend to clog the chute vs mowing uphill.

Also check the underside of the deck and remove any grass buildup that
usually cakes up there.
