I was one of those “I don’t catch them on a chatterbait” guys. My tip to everyone, find a fishing day that has a little wind and a little cloud cover and just lock it in your hands . That was how i gained confidence in the bladed jig and it’s paid off in tournament fishing.
Its my #1 confidence bait. I'll take 8 rods on tourney day and throw the same chatterbait rod 95% of the time.
Last year in north-central Ohio I caught a bass every month from Feb-Dec on a chatterbait. Burn it fast, drag it slow, jig it, so versatile.
I have tried it all. I am a spinnerbait fisherman. I would think I would do better with them. It’s like I can’t buy a bite on them. I do better on a swim jig than a bladed jig/chatterbait. I want to do good with them. I like using them.
Good tips!! I can catch on about anything but a big glide bait and a Chatterbait. At one point I took all of them out of my boat. I fish Lake of the Ozarks alot and the ole chatter has never done me well.
Thank you for the Shirt hat glove combo. Wife grabbed it for my aniversary gift. Love it!
3/8 mini max on a pond is fire 🔥. I cast with a 6’10 poison adrena glass rod with curado mgl 70 reel like 12lb sunline assassin Beautiful setup
I caught my 1st few fish on a chatterbait on a rainy day. This was 2 years ago. Have never caught another fish on a chatter since 😢
New to chatterbaits. Started fishing them this week up north with aggressive bass to get some confidence in them. I catch more with minnow style up here but chatterbait just flat out catches the pigs.
Still looking for the perfect trailer, I'm guessing it will change depending on the conditions.
Since watching your chatterbait videos, my hook up ratio has greatly improved. The mini-max is my new go-to in small bodies of water with a 4.5 inch spunk shad in tow. The black and blue with super bug color spunk shad has caught me some hawgs. Keep up the good work on the videos. They work!!
I've been trying to fish chatterbaits because of your channel! But one thing I'm unclear about is, what are you supposed to feel when you're fishing a chatterbait correctly? I cast mine out there and let it sink, then lift the rod at a speed such that I can feel the chatterbait vibrating in the water. This feels to me like I'm going too fast, and when I see guys fishing chatterbaits on RUclips, you guys seem to be retrieving much slower than I am, which makes me think maybe it's not necessary to feel the chatterbait vibrating in the water, that it can feel like nothing and be working perfectly fine. I hope I explained my question clearly haha! I've been dying for an answer to this question but no one covers this. Thanks, Tyler! Love both your channels!
I always want to feel the vibration but I always have the same question to I have to feel the vibration to know it’s working?
Ive won a few tournaments catching em exclusively on a chatterbait. One of the things that makes a bladed jig a good bladed jig is it's start up speed. So don't necessarily let it sink. You want that blade going as long as possible in the strike zone. If you let at Sink too much it will have to pendulum back to you, and by the time the blade starts thumping it's halfway back to you. The bass attack it from below or when it goes by their face. Just worry about varying your retrieve....slow, slow,slow, fast, slow or burn, burn, kill it, burn burn. So get that blade thumping when it hits water and vary that retrieve and start shwackin em.🤘
When I fish Chatterbaits, I like to feel the vibration from the blade as soon as I start my retrieve. If or when it stops vibrating suddenly without a jerk or a tug on it and I know it’s not a bite, I will pop my rod and most of the time, it will start vibrating again instantly because there was grass or some other debris on the blade. Also, if the blade doesn’t free itself, keep retrieving as if you normally would because I have caught several when the blade wasn’t vibrating. and technically, it’s like fishing a Swim Jig with a trailer then. That trailer still provides a little action. I like to vary my retrieve speeds as well. Reel fast, stop, reel slow, pop the rod tip to make it dart, wash, rinse, repeat. Hope this helps. 😊
It might be those pro’s you are watching are using an 8.1 ratio reel. They got to slow down. If your using a 6.2 ratio, you will reel faster. I like lower ratio reels myself.
@@richg.4513 your emphasis on "start-up speed" suggests to me that I SHOULD be feeling the vibration for maximum effectiveness? I mean, that's what makes sense to me so that what I try to do when I fish a chatterbait but it didn't seem right that I had to get the bait moving so fast before it would "start up", so I wasn't sure if I was doing it wrong or what. I fish a Mini Max, which seems like it should be much more effective than what I've experienced. I'll keep trying. Thanks for your insight!
Such a frustrating bait for me. Only hooked one with it so far. Not caught but hooked. Unfortunately I lost him jumping five feet away. Easily my pb.
How do I work a chatterbait? How fast do I work it? Can I work it like a jig? Just jigging it up and down on the bottom? Does just casting and reeling work?
I use the 3.5 inch Hog Farmer spunk shad on all my mini max chatterbaits, and the 4.5 inch on the regular size chatterbaits
That’s a great bait too. It’s a fatter bait so let’s you skip better too
This is the way
I love the mini max. I throw it on a 7'3" mh fast with 14# mono with no issues. I've have great success with use the bass pro split tail stick-o
Great tip about the Stick-o split, ive had these for years barely used them. they work great as a dropshot too and wacky rig
Have you ever tried fishing them on straight braid?
They are such insane pike/pickerel magnets in my hands I won't even throw em' in lakes& rivers' they live.
I have only caught one bass on a chatterbait and that was when I was frustrated and made a crap cast and what I though was a terrible retrieve. Wish I remembered what I did.
I’ve been using them about 3 years and only got 2-3 bites on them.
It's a hit and miss for me usually get one or 2 but quality fish
I love chatterbaits they catch big fish
I can’t get many bites on them.
100% agree on your advice about rod. Changed my mind about chatter bait when I got a specific rod for it.
ALX makes a great one.
Just started fishing one end of last year really. It’s a lot of fun. Good info buddy! Appreciate you
Got a nice sunglass tan going on there my guy!!! That's how you know you putting in the work!
Got my minimax
3/8 oz black/blue or green pumpkin are my go to colors and I've caught my biggest fish on it. I fish it mostly without a trailer. I fish it on a Daiwa Tatula Elite MH Moderate and Tatula CT 7.3:1 with 15 pound fluorocarbon. I find I get the hook deeper in the mouth of the bass. Favorite retrieve: reel, kill, pump, pause, reel. Hookset is more of a pull and reel than a quick snap of the rod.
I pitch a 6'6" medium casting rod, useing a 15# braid. The catch, not so many bites. I switched it up and use foot and a half of 20# trilene with a uniknot. A lot more hits and catches now. Dawned on me that the fish are more then likely seeing the braided line. Yep, so anyone using braid and not a lot of hits and catches, try this. Really does wonders.
Don't discount the chatterbait mini flashback,on a med/light spinning rod with 6lb braid n a leader,the vibration is crazy n I catch really nice bass n lots big crappie, catfish ,walleye, big white perch ,it's a machine, my other favorite is size you featured
Any specific color for the trailer down here in florida?
Can't go wrong with a 4" black/blue Yamamoto Zako trailer in Florida.
Really tried using a bladed jig for the first time today (zman flashback mini). Put a yum 3" sonar minnow in clear shad and fish wwre slamming it like it was personal. What a phenomenal bait
Just caught a 5.3 lb largemouth on a chatter bait this past Saturday 22 June 24 while kayak fishing with no electronics. This was my first time trying a chatter bait, so I am sold on using a chatter bait!
I've been using a bladed jig as a replacement for a square bill in natural grassy lakes in upstate NY for years with incredible success due to it's "weedlessness". But have recently found it works just as well for smallmouth in rocky lakes. The smallmouth tend to follow it and not necessarily hit the bait during a steady retrieve as opposed to largemouth. So now I kill the retrieve and let it fall to the bottom and hop it a few times and the smallmouth crush it as it hops up and falls again!
Hey man! Any specific reason you went with the B-Hittay over a Heavy/Moderate Slow like the Evergreen Combat Stick?
Spot on with the rod choice. Use a St. Croix “Rip N/Chatter” rod with 17/20lbs mono and have a great hookup ratio.
Is a 1/2oz min max to heavy? Also can i used regular sized trailers (3-4in) or should i get smaller
I think down sizing the bait is the best idea for newcomers wanting to try it out or just get some confidence using it, or even on heavily pressured waters where the bass have seen most every bladed jig on the market wiz past there face to the point they ignor them , such is the case where I live here in CA fishing the delta . I use a z-man mini chatter for BFS no skirt and a roboworm shad , and catch fish in an area I passed through with a normal or common sized bladded jig. With that said, I personally pick a spinnerbait over a bladed jig only for the above statement. The fish have seen them all and see them all day long. At least out here in the Californian Delta.
I love the jack hammer. But hard for me to catch fish with it. Got 300 dollars worth.
I fish a chatterbait more than crankbaits these days due to the versatility. It is also my go-to windy day bait.
Why such large flouro for the mini max? To rip it through grass if it gets hung?
I have go to where I never go without a evo or a thunder crickets tied up depending on conditions and if I’m not getting bit it pick one up and start getting bit
The Omnia site says the 7’4” composite rod is no longer available.
Caught my first smallmouth the other day with a mini max. It was a tank too!
I like chatterbaits in places with moving water like spillways and pump stations.
The Mini Max has been my go-to for the past 2 years. The pearl ghost color is absolute 🔥
I have my pb on one and still feel like i struggle to know how to fish it
I have the original chatterbait not the minimax?????
The right trailer will make a chatter bait dance , also quarter or half reel turns thru out the retrieve and lastly just a simple twitch or jerk of the rod
Lake Erie has been very good to me with the chatterbait. It has helped me understand a little more.
“go somewhere you can get bites” brother that’s why im here 😂
I’ve got a question, would definitely enjoy your input. I love the chatterbait, agree with all points made. I did fish it on my jig setup on 20lbs fluoro invizx but I fish a jig a lot also. To avoid swapping out constantly I put it on a backup rod. It’s got 15 lbs copolymer, I noticed my hookup ratio increased. Prefer it over straight mono so I was sold on this but copolymer frays super easy. I retie after 1-2 fish so I’m back to square one. Any line suggestions for copolymer that’s more fray resistant? I’m currently using Yo-Zuri Hybrid. If it brushes up against a stick, it over. Chatters cost too much to break off constantly. Did I miss the copolymer shootout?
Hey idk about your copolymer line, but I could suggest that you make your own chatterbaits. $45 on materials will yield you 50 chatterbaits
Hey Tyler. Do you crank your drag down for smallies, or let them pull drag? Do you find you pull the hooks when you crank the drag even when you use flouro and glass/composit rods?? I’ve lost several huge smallies on the graphite with flouro so I just purchased my first composite rod. Thanks
Personally I have my drag cranked down for most of my baitcast rods. I will click the thumb bar down to control the line when a fish wants to run though. For spinning rods…I set my drag to let the fish pull line when it needs to
ChatterBait stealth in 42-45° water
I bought a Mini Max, put on a Hog Farmer's Spunk Shad and, I have proceeded to catch zero fish with it. Not even a bite. I'll stick to my swim jigs!
I haven't had much luck with a spunk shad. However, I've caught a lot of big bass using a kicking craw style trailer and working it like a crankbait or a slow rolled spinnerbait
I fish a chatterbait quite often and in my opinion the hog farmer spunk shad is my favorite chatterbait trailer but I don’t use them at all on a mini max. I like a more slender profile on a mini max. The spunk shad has a thicker body on it and I feel sometimes it can overpower the mini max. The trailer that I recently started playing around with on a mini max is the Mach baits skooler. It’s a fluke style bait but it’s much more downsized and slender than a fluke. It has a ribbed tail to create that same action that you typically see out of a spunk shad. That Mach skooler is probably my new favorite mini max trailer. Hope this helps and feel free to check out my channel for more information about chatterbait fishing. I have a few videos dedicated to a chatterbait and several videos exclusively fishing a chatterbait. I actually have a video dropping Tuesday (June 11th) at 5 where I’m exclusively fishing a mini max with that Mach skooler mentioned above!
I’m the exact opposite. Rarely even get a hit on a swim jig but catch tons on chatterbaits.
@@DoYouLoveTheSilverHairedGod The swim jig is harder to keep in a zone when retrieving. Without the blade and the feedback you get from a chatterbait, it’s tougher to control. The extra that you get with a swim jig is that you can play it on the bottom also. Tough to do with a blade that gets hung up in the grass on the bottom.
@@740_bass_fishing I have noticed that the blade only sometimes chatters when I have the spunk shad on. You may be right about that trailer being just a little bit too big for the minimax. Interestingly, I did happen to catch one yesterday, but I think it was dumb luck. My waters are really clear and I don’t think the chatter bait looks much like anything to them. If I catch one, it is purely a reaction bite.
I though I had subscribed a while ago. Well, I was wrong! I appreciate, really appreciate you honest, straight forward info and delivery of opinion. Solid info,, great indept pursuit of knowledge for us non tournament fisherman! Love your content!
Thanks brother. Maybe you subscribed to my other channel BassFishingHQ
@@TylerBergerFishingI had done that and I’m so glad I realized, your videos have helped me in so many ways and I am so thankful for your willingness to do the things you do to provide us with useful meaningful information! Thank you so much sir!!
Tyler, I am your target audience on this one, but you've done it. I will rig it up again and try with a different mentality. Wish me luck and sanity.
You got this
@@TylerBergerFishing Well, I tied one on for a tournament tonight and it paid off...sort of. I definitely should have used it earlier, but I waited until it was getting desperate. 1st cast, fish (small one), 7th cast, huge hit and fight, but lost 'em. several casts later another small one. Your help gave me the confidence to use this bait (the right way) and to want to keep it tied on? Thank you buddy.
I fish a chatterbait from ice out to ice in crush them everyday on it favorite bait to throw🎣 but I use a 7”4 M/H fast 90% of my bites knock slack in my line I feel everything going on hookset always in the upper part of the mouth pin them and crank 🎣🎣🎣
Me and my nephew struggled with them till we started using smaller ones than like magic we whacked lots of bass
