    Never fails! Every time I watch Tacticalbassin, it gets me fired up to go fishing.. you can hear the passion and excitement in y’all’s voice (especially Matt). Been following you guys for years, and I still get excited to watch your videos.

      Same.....and then i go fishing and catch nothing but windburn....lmao. Of course, it helps when you fish lakes that actually have some Bass in them. Unfortunately, i'm in WV and our lakes are P A T H E T I C

    I've been watching you guys for about 5 or 6 years. With each and every video I am overwhelmed with your knowledge and with the knowledge you extend to me. You are totally relatable without being patronizing . You relate to the upscale professional fisherman and to a retired budget fishermen like myself. You are the best of the best. Thanks so much

    After watching this tutorial, I threw a Z man jackhammer chatter bait for the first time today. I caught Four 4’s Three 5’s and a 6.
    23 fish total today fishing all alone in the rain and driving wind. It was absolutely miserable. Best day ever! Thank you so much for the video Matt! I am a true believer in your channel. Can’t wait to start throwing swim baits

    Florida man here. Chatterbait is a must have for sure. I spoke with some r&d guys from zman that live locally to me. The coating on the Evo blades not only holds the glitter but its also chip resistant so it makes the base paint layer on longer. World of difference with those black gold red and orange blades.

    Best part of all this is the “start up speed” you mention. I’ve used knock offs and you’re exactly right, have to shake it or snap it to get it going. ZMan chargers are the best.

    Thank you, Matt, and welcome to Florida. What passes for winter weather down here has held on pretty tenaciously this year, but hopefully things have finally leveled out and you can enjoy a great angling adventure here in the Sunshine State. And wow, just looked at your subscriber numbers: looks like the countdown to 600,000 is well underway. Seems like only yesterday we were celebrating the half-million mark. Congratulations! Good luck to those who are heading out to have a go at the bass today, and I hope everyone has a wonderful Wednesday!

    The jackhammer has been my pride and joy the past few years. It helped me win a club tourney 2 weeks ago by throwing that and a white mini max when the jackhammer bite started to go away. Most of my buddies refuse to throw the stealth and mini max, which is good for me, I’ll keep taking their money 😜

  • @jaredb9909
    @jaredb9909 9 месяцев назад +1

    I really like an old school single tail grub on a chatter bait it doesn’t interfere with the hunting action and on heavily pressured fish I feel like it offers a slightly different profile than what most guys are using

  • @CrackingBass
    @CrackingBass 9 месяцев назад +1

    Love the crosseyez bank fishing, the TW exclusive custom is my favorite overall because of the value. Wish they had a stealth version of a non Jack hammer. Picked up a couple mini max, excited to try them this year.

  • @tjrou2005
    @tjrou2005 9 месяцев назад +1

    Agree on the spunk shad and haven't really looked back since. Another I found is the Beast coast blade runner. It has so much action, like the spunk shad, but they are super tough.

And I'm quite glad you guys haven't mentioned it till now because I never worry about them not being in stock

    @FishingThePNW 9 месяцев назад +1

    I've been making my own custom chatterbaits for years but as soon as the queens tackle switchblade came out, I haven't bought another type of blade. I absolutely hated using split rings to the standard blades but due to this design, I can just use a jighead with a vertical line tie and it just works. The blade starts spinning immediately

  • @Mjones8383
    @Mjones8383 9 месяцев назад +2

    Stroking a chatterbait just like a jig will get you right with a big bag buring the late spring also. The Raid Japan chatterbait works the best for this around wood and mostly rip rap, it has weed guard wires to keep from getting hung as much. Premium hardware and blade to head connect

With all the straight tails coming around - would like to get your feedback on Zman’s Chatterspike? Is it a more durable Spunk Shad? Or just a less effective poser?

  • @vincentgelles3805
    @vincentgelles3805 9 месяцев назад +2

    I fish a lot of ponds and obviously bluegill is the primary forage source. Because of that, I mostly throw the mini max but I’ve been having an issue with the snaps opening up on me. Is there a beefier snap I can use or am I using too heavy of a rod? I do use the same rod that I use for the jackhammer with the mini max which was a 7’2 mh glass Expride but I recently switched to the Loomis IMX pro chatterbait rod. I have tried changing to a heavier Decoy snap but they are difficult to change and I always feel like I compromise the snap getting it on there. Any suggestions would be helpful because I don’t want to lose a pb because of the snap.

    The black and blue mini max with a swimon trailer has become the go to bait between my buddy and I. We've caught so many quality fish with that lure, it's become a joke that whoever throws it first in the day is said to be "cheating."

    Matt - another awesome video from Tactical Bassin -- I see you constantly wrap your set up (rod/reel) line around one or two of your rod guides as you demo a tied-on set up, then go to set it back down on your boat deck -- I am assuming its all about keeping the line tight and not getting crazy while driving down the water -- can you go into some details about this, and other "boat management" tips for those of us that are new ( and maybe some of us who aren't new) to being on the water with multiple rod/reels, with full bait set ups? All tips are appreciated!

      They suck. They cost as much as a jackhammer and they don't have the start up speed of a jackhammer which is the most important element of a chatterbait. The new Evo is no joke tho. There's really no difference between it and a jackhammer except price.

    That green pumpkin/chartruse jackhammer caught me my PB. Put a Green Pumpkin Yamamoto Zako on the back as the trailer. The chatterbait looks like a bluegill/sunfish swimming when it moves in the water. Mainly bc bluegill are darker towards the top of their body and lighter towards the bottom. Will always be in the lineup til the day I die.

    for the crosseyes, do you guys replace the snap with something else? a split ring doesnt fit in the blade, and i dont really enjoy running snaps in general. i had a couple of the snaps on the micro and mini bend out on 2-3lb fish, and i couldnt imagine trying to yank a 4lb+ fish out of cover with one. its kind of odd to me theyd choose a snap over the wire thats on regular chatterbaits, especially since the crosseyes is designed for fishing in heavy cover.
