Chatterbaits have been around for a while now. but they continue to catch bass in all kinds of fisheries. Bladed jigs will catch bass in cold and hot water, around wood and grass, and they catch big bass.
With that being said, I have seen a lot of comments from people that say a chatterbait is extremely overrated and they don't like it and in todays video I want to give you 3 tips to help you catch more bass on chatterbaits!
BassFishingHQ is dedicated to teaching people how to catch more and bigger bass. I will go over different bass fishing tips & techniques that will put more fish in the boat or on the shore. Whether you are just starting out or a seasoned tournament angler, my goal is to help you catch more bass.

I’ve been struggling with Chatterbaits for a while now. Only caught 1 Bass in the last year. I’ve changed trailers, line, retrieval…. You name it. Having said all that, I still have one tied on at all times. I know my luck will turn around and when it does, it will be with a big one!

Do yall have grass where you fish ? I have my most successful with it in the grass from about late May all the way through early to mid fall time. I'm in northeast Ohio. I fish exclusively jackhammers because they are the best . But the other ones will catch fish too. craw trailers lately but I so like the gambler komodo and the big bite swimon. Goodluck guys don't give uo.

RIP it out of the grass and fish it throughout the water column . Vary your speeds and your retrieve style. Start with a spinnerbait to get some confidence, both are two of my favorite muddy water baits .

Since this is a fairly recent video, I wanted to give a heads up that might benefit some of you. Yesterday 4/18/22, I was in Academy Sports in Winston-Salem and found Z-man chatterbaits for $1.12 each regular price $4.49. The regular $8.49 were $2.12. I don't know if all their stores do the same, but it's worth checking.

@jasonlopez4855 Ай бұрын

I'll say with the OG chatter bait my son likes the jack hammer I don't see much different amount of fish because I get more sometimes he gets more fish one year of testing and still going to figure out what is the big difference in price point. I get two chatter bait and my so gets one for the price point. I like the flashback 1/8 ounce with a 3 inch trailer then go to the bigger one's. Sometimes the bass likes no skirts on the chatter bait. So go with big eye strike 1/4 ounce for emergency if nothing else is working for Bass fishing. This is a great video chatter bait video 👊🏼 respect do more on this.

I use the big blade a lot. Found that when I caught a fish, the snap would come unsnapped during the fight. Never hat one spread open and never lost a fish because of it but it bothered the hell out of me that the snap was coming undone. What was happening was that when pulling on a fish, the blade lays down against that snap, and the very end of the wire is pushing against it. Or more correctly, the blade is pushing against the end of the wire snap. and it can push it to the point that it unsnaps. Simple solution. Take the snap off and turn it around, so that the side of the snap that can't come undone is what contacts the blade in that situation, This used to happen with the original, too, but the problem there was eliminated when Zman went to the wire with two twisted loops in place of the snap on the original.

I went to a new lake this past weekend with muddy water. I tied a white jackhammer with a chartreuse kvd perfect minnow and caught fish in two spawning pockets. When they stop biting it I drug a rage craw around and caught more. One of the best days I’ve had on the water this year. They were all post spawn. I flipped the rage craw in wood cover on the points leaving the pockets and caught a couple bigger females.

I think size of lake or pond you are on has a huge impact. Along with the pressure on the lake. Im in Fort worth TX. And some of the lakes around here, the fish just don't bite a chatter bait. I think so many people have been throwing them that the bass become accustomed to it. Same goes for craw style rigs. The only things I've had luck with are the willow vibe and the micro

I came of age with the chatterbait in 2018, fishing around Dublin Ohio. I accidentally caught a few fish in springtime and then I bought a jackhammer and used it until it became my confidence bait. Once I mastered some different retrieves everything changed. I would fish almost all night long with a jackhammer and be catching fish consistently. Consistently better fish in the 3-5 lb range.

I use chatterbaits 80% of my time fishing. Alot of the spots I fish have so much wood in the water, jigs are the only way not to get snagged constantly. Your tip on turning the creature baits sideways has absolutely saved me money on lost jigs, and caught my best fish last year that way. Any recommendations on a trailer for the Big Blade? None of my creature trailers seem to get decent action behind it.

Jackhammer got me in a trance on the water for real. Hands down BEST chatterbait period.

@anthonytingle6578 2 жыл бұрын

I like and use all the chatterbaits but my favorite by far is the crosseyez series, they are very weedless and I use the kvd blade minnow as a trailer. It creates a ton on action and when you rip it through the grass you better be hanging on because they will absolutely crush that bait. In the last 2 months I've caught 32 bass over 5lbs fishing this bait around grass pockets and cypress trees. In my opinion the jack hammer isn't worth the extra $6 because it's just not as weedless as the crosseyez chatterbait. Thanks for the tips Tyler, always appreciated for your expertise.

I can promise that no one else is throwing the bladed jigs I'm throwing; because I make my own from scratch. Skirts, jig heads, and custom blades, the entire thing is made from scratch. And boy do they ever thump! And because I make my own, I don't have to pay $16 a pop for a jackhammer. I go from 1/4 oz up to 3/4 oz and it's nice to be the only guy on the lake still catching fish in a bladed jig when no one else can.

I have a hard time keeping paint on the blades and once the paint comes off the bite seam to fade. Do you have any recommendations? For the price of a jackhammer you think the paint would stay on a little longer. I’ve tried nail polish but it don’t seam to last but a couple cast.
