great technique
to target bass in and around shallow cover In this video, Captain Mikey teaches you the basics of Chatterbait fishing, but also covers how, where and when to fish this bait to catch more and bigger bass!.
What time of year is best for Chatterbaits?
Chatterbaits:
Also known as a vibrating jig or bladed jig, the chatterbait can be fished from
late winter
through the
autumn months
, with spring being the most productive time of the year.

Chatterbaits:
A Chatterbait fished alone will catch lots of bass, but adding a soft plastic trailer will enhance your chances of catching even more fish.
Chatterbaits Work: Do Chatterbaits work in winter
Chatterbaits are not just for the warm months! Changing your cadence and retrieval technique can make this bait deadly effective in the winter.
What size should a chatterbait be to throw?
Chatterbait:
Chatterbaits of 1/2oz are the
standard choice
for areas 1 to 8 feet deep You’ll have to downsize to 3/8oz or 1/4oz if the lure gets hung on the grass and structure. Upsize to 3/4oz to 1oz to reach below 10 feet. Your choice of color will depend on the seasonality and baits.
Chatterbaits Work: Do Chatterbaits work in clear water
The ChatterBait has become my
clear-water crankbait
and I’ve been able to extend that bite for months. I’ve been able to leave my main areas, let them rest and find similar areas in other parts of the lake—water color hasn’t really mattered. If it’s dirty, I’ll still throw a crankbait.
What color is best for ChatterBait?
Chatterbait:
White is always a good color chatterbait For good reason, too. Almost all species of baitfish will resemble white in the water. So spinnerbaits, crankbaits, buzzbaits, and the like have a variety of different white patterns.
Which ChatterBait is best?
Chatterbait:
The Jack Hammer is the best all-purpose ChatterBait in the line. It has premium components that most high-level tournament anglers prefer, including a high-quality Gamakatsu hook, wire bait keeper and strong line clip. Plus, it comes in sizes ranging from 3/8 to 1 1/4 ounce, so it can be fished in a lot of situations.
Weight Chatterbait: What weight chatterbait should I use
3/8 oz to 5/8 oz seems to be the most effective sizes. Color choice of the darker colors, black/blue, brown/orange, pumpkin, or green pumpkin seems to be the most effective. Blade color is optional but I prefer either a dark scaled blade (Pro2 black/blue) or a black nickel blade (Chatterbait black/blue).
Better Chatterbait: Which is better chatterbait or spinnerbait
The
main difference
between a spinnerbait vs chatterbait is grass. The chatterbait is an absolute killer in and around the grass The
prespawn stage
where chatterbaits can come through the grass more easily than a lipless is a dream come true for chatterbait lovers.
Thunder Cricket: What’s the difference between a
thunder cricket
and a ChatterBait
Construction details. One of the first things you notice on the Thunder Cricket is the blade shape. It is noticeably more rounded and appears to be a bit smaller than one found a ChatterBait The blades are made of stainless steel for durability and also painted to match the bait.
