IMHO Chatterbaits ROCK !!!

CMorg · 10-09-06, 08:12 PM

OK , I know everyone has there oppinions.. I love the Chatterbaits. There my new goto bait. I put it on my line this morning , and nailed 2 , 3+ pounders , and 2 over a pound , in 2 hours. I have been using everything I have for the last month with slow results. I did however miss at least 4 fish on the hookset , I seen it , the bait flew out of its mouth..

You can try fishing your Chatterbaits with a trailer hook and see if that improves your catch-to-strike ratio.

Rebbasser · 10-09-06, 08:54 PM

Check the hook-on the ones I have right out of the package the hooks were about as sharp as a Q-tip.

ironman · 10-09-06, 08:55 PM

I am getting desperate, maybe I will give in and try one of these.

mack · 10-09-06, 09:07 PM

i tried it and havent gotten anything. its reports like these that keep making me throw them. i never had much luck on spinnerbait type lures.

WTL · 10-09-06, 09:13 PM

How are you fishing your chatterbaits?

dampeoples · 10-09-06, 09:16 PM

I look at them as a grass type bait, and throw them primarily then. Of course, throwing a pretty bait doesn't hurt

texasbasser · 10-09-06, 09:23 PM

i've never used them because of the price... 7 bucks for 1 at my walmart!

mymomisbecky · 10-09-06, 09:26 PM

4.50 for mine

and they produce just the same

but i do assure you, 7 dollars or 4.50, they all produce, fantastic new bait rad came up with

texasbasser · 10-09-06, 09:28 PM

i can buy 2 dollar lures and catch as many fish as with a expensive lure, so thats why i stick with cheap stuff

How do yuo know how well your 2$ lures stack up against chatterbaits, when you've never even bought one?
My dad loves those things, especially on dams. Chartuese/white, in clear water, and a black/red, or black/blue in muddy water. You fish thjem by lifting your rod tips.

texasbasser · 10-09-06, 09:34 PM

friends have fished them multiple times with me and never cuaght anything, so i wont get one.

dampeoples · 10-09-06, 09:36 PM

Not exactly true. A c-bait is a c-bait, doesn't matter how you cut/bend/shape the blade, or even how pretty it is

A crankbait or a jerkbait, or baits along that line differ in how they perform in the water, due to shape, weighting system, etc. Your paying for research into how fishes swim, and a quality finish versus a bait with a shrink-wrap finish for $3.

texasbasser · 10-09-06, 09:38 PM

im just saying, i catch a lot of fish on crankbaits, rttletraps, worm etc. so iu dont really need one.

texasbasser · 10-09-06, 09:39 PM

ahh what the heck, ill get one.

mymomisbecky · 10-09-06, 09:42 PM

lol, is that just to shut us up?

dampeoples · 10-09-06, 09:43 PM

He's gonna have to buy three to shut us up, one of each size

texasbasser · 10-09-06, 09:45 PM

lol no! you just kinda convinced me. if i do unbeleivebly good, ill get 3 of each size

CMorg · 10-09-06, 10:15 PM

I got the white / green , I just cranked it in , and added a quick pop here and there , I was in a grassy area... Also , I went out out and got two more myself... White , and added a zoom baby bass fluke , and the brown with orange trailer , but I put on a brown sizmic crawdad trialer , havent used the two new ones yet...

zooker · 10-10-06, 04:52 AM

ehh really need better hooks imo they are dull as watching paint dry out of the box.. i have had very limited sucess with them..don't belive the hype..they MAY be ok in muddy water. but i am not wasting my time looking for one..

ironman · 10-10-06, 06:28 AM

I just bought one last night, I got the red/black one because that was all they had. I hope it work's because the water is so muddy that might not be so great of a color.

bassthumb32 · 10-10-06, 08:47 AM

The Way I Like To Use Them And Have Had Great Success Is Over Grass Around And Through Lillypads And Around Any Type Of Cover. The Biggest Fish I Caught With One I Pulled It Up Over A Half Suken Guard Rail. They Are Defiantly Not Open Water Baits Gotta Be Close To Some Kind Of Cover Maily Grass.

mymomisbecky · 10-10-06, 09:13 AM

they will work fine in muddy water, ala a spinnerbait. the chatterbait produces a TON of vibration, you will feel it in your rod, big time. Trust me, the bass can find it.
