Chatter baits?

[smljaw]

I've only caught a few with chatterbait. It's like every other bait on the market IMO. Some days they'll kill it and some days they won't.

I like slow swimming it around deeper structure. I also really like the way this bait looks if you bulk it up. Thread a swimbait on for a trailer. It's a big offering for a big fish!

I have got some good fish on them on pressured lakes. IMO I would not put them on the same level as the flying lure type baits. But they have been marketed pretty hard.

If you read down this far you will have heard from the guys who have had success by reeling it SLOWLY, this is when the bait performs at it's best (for me). I love the bait - but I never use it as a "go to bait" for a limit of keepers - keepers yes - limit no, although I have caught limits on it. The best all around color is the shimmerin shad?? it has a pearlescent trailer. Also it works great in the grass ripping it out, over wood slow rolled, and at night (black colors), it puts off such great vibrations it has to work. So for confidence try the smaller version to catch some fish then after you gain confidence move up in size.

Chatterbaits don't work at all.
I'll give you $.50 a piece.

these are hand made and come in a wide variety of colors and sizes.
use a hitchhiker and attach any trailer you want. remove the skirt as the other poster suggested. almost 100% weedless.
better action as a chatterbait....the blade clanks against the football shaped head. fish any level in the column.
caught several keeprs this year and lost what would been a PB...prob an 8 lber.
they make jigs,skirts and spinnerbaits to order as well. great people to do biz with.
