I love your format of videos with the underwater footage. I am new to fishing and I'm trying to learn the different lures And this is perfect so keep up the great work brother!
@@hanburgundy4317 Hi there sorry but that’s a bit far from where I live though. I don’t really go to Indiana very often Sorry man. Where did you lose ‘‘em? Just curious. Plus it’s really cold here now. Good luck there.
@@FishingwithNat Well I just free dive but I can try to hunt ‘‘em down. How deep was the water there where you lost the lure? What kind of lure was it how big? What color was it?
Replacement arrived!By the way, I did forget to mention that the original lure did have a decent strike however as most anglers will attest you can get a hit ruclips.net/user/postUgkxCbNOWAGmn6nfbCbJDmasvBq7J38KZNw2 and fish will hang on and release lure. I used the replacement lure yesterday and ran thru a Shimano Waxwing, Kastmaster, Bobber (set to sink). I found the does run deep (I casting on the flats 3.5'). Make sure you adjust your rate of retrieve and rod tip angle (up) to prevent getting snagged on bottom. Used it a couple of times and action was very lifelike (looked like local bait fish for trevally), craftsmanship very good....however eyeball fell out. I asked for replacement and it is on it's way! It was very easy to change out treble to single inline hook.
I JUST moved to chatter baits today. It was 103 today and I landed a 3lb smallie using a strike king chatter with a power bait pit boss as a trailer. Worked awesome.
@@FishingwithNat slow crawl with a few bounces in between. I was fishing an inlet coming off a viaduct into a lake. Tossed up stream, found bottom then started working slowly back.
@@PNWLeviathanFPV I think they work best in low light conditions, whether that is clear water during overcast or dusk/dawn, or in stained/dirty water. I've caught fish on chatterbaits in the middle of bright sunny days, but only on dirty water and usually in heavy vegetation.
Went fishing last Sunday. 4-20-23. It's 5 o'clock and it's partly cloudy and the winds blowing 20 to 25 mph . South to the North. I am fishing a triangle shaped 3 acre pond. My reel is a Quantum KVD Smoke S3 PT reel 6 to1. 30pd Suffix braiding moss green. The rod is a Berkley Cherrywood HD MH 7' baitcaster. Got around to the north side and it's 75 degrees. I am using a 1/2 oz White and CHARTREUSE skirted with a White StrikeKing swimbait trailer. Garlic CHARTREUSE Spike it on the legs. I caught 17 Largemouth in 17 casts. It lasted about 20 minutes. Then The " Flurry " ended. But, It was a great 20 minutes. The biggest was 3.5 pounds. Yes, The Chatterbait is a great bait anytime. Shawn.
For us , learning these things are very useful, even so there is more trout and salmon on pacific NWest than bass * what's really counts is your professional presentation- rest will come with practicing @ site, many thanks for your dedicated video 👍👍👍
I can usually figure out a new lure with the help of the fish and I've got some chatterbaits coming in from ebay. The info I've learned from you and a few others has helped me with colors and presentation now I just need to wait for the river to come down a bit. I don't have much luck when the water is high. Do you have any hints for bank fishing with high water?
Bladed jigs are my favorite lure. Its nothing for me to hook up on my 3rd or 4th cast of the entire trip using one. Thats the only lure I've ever used where that regularly happens
Either of those. You just want to make sure to retrieve it fast enough to keep the blade chattering most of the time. You can pause and twitch/drag it or reel it straight back.
Do you think 🤔 a chatter bait can be fished vertically? I jig for Lake Trout in 100 feet of water. Lakers chase lures retrieved straight up and I'd like to add a chatter blade to my 2 ounce marabou jigs and crank them straight up. Will 2 oz be too heavy for the blade to impart action?
I think the blade would have the same action when jigged vertically and I don't think the weight of the jig would change anything either. I've never heard of a chatterbait being fished vertically, but that doesn't mean it won't work!
I tend to like natural-looking baits, so I picture what I'm trying to imitate and try to match the overall shape to that. A crayfish/crawfish has its claws hanging freely back as it swims, so I like to have a craw trailer sticking way back. If I'm imitating a bluegill, their body tends to be very wide/tall and quickly narrows down to the tail, so I like the trailer to end closer to the skirt.
@@FishingwithNat Thank you so much. That's very helpful for me. What do you do with a curlytail as trailer? Let's say the uncurled part of the body makes about half the size of it. Is that half also your skirt length or do you make the skirt longer then? By the way: You have a new subscriber by now. So many great videos about the basics everyone should think of, presented right to the point and often with great underwater footage.
@@metallicblood Thanks and welcome to the channel. I consider the entire tail of a plastic trailer (curly-tail grub included) to be part of the overall profile.
I just started throwing Chatterbaits this year, but I haven't had any luck yet. I get bites on my Spinnerbaits, but they don't seem to like the Chatterbaits in my lake.
I do not. I like to work them pretty slowly so extra weight would prevent that. If you want to work them fast or deep, you can buy chatterbaits that are a full ounce or more. You could add weight to a lighter one but I think you would get hung up more in brush or vegetation.
Yes, you can certainly use them in a river. But they do have a lot of drag as you retrieve them, so they will pull really hard if you're casting downstream in decent current.
@FishingwithNat I lost my white one to a snag, but still fish the green and the blue/ black ones. Each are 3/8 oz, but they feel heavier per weighted blade, which actually has stronger action felt at the rod than standard Zman chatterbaits. They're built w/ a stout Gamakatsu hook. An underwater video would be very telling.
Bouncing chatters off debris is dangerous , you can easily snag that hook because it’s bare and sticking so far up , I don’t recommend bottom fishing with them either , other than that I’d say this video is great , just don’t forget that the bare hook like that is always waiting to get snagged
Thanks for the feedback. There are better baits to toss into heavy laydowns or other complex snags. Chatterbaits can handle some of that and weedless chatterbaits can offer a little more protection for the hook. You're right though - the exposed hook point means you still have to be careful around snags.
Yeah, in my lake I can't throw em slow without pulling a bunch veg back with em - I have to "hit the ground running" with the baits and retrieve em faster so I don't snag clumps; nothing spooks fish more than a handful of salad going by lol
@@hanburgundy4317 In those areas, it's probably best to move to a spinnerbait or even a weedless bait to give you more time fishing and less time picking salad.
The best lures for peacock bass are crankbaits and topwater minnow baits, but I think a chatterbait with a single-tail trailer like a Rage Swimmer would catch them too.
@@JUJUBEJUBILEE just started getting serious with bass fishing last winter. Been trying to learn how to use different lures once I feel like I’ve made progress with others I already have.
@@denvercolorado811 They will still get snagged on things, but a lot less than something with treble hooks or more exposed hooks. If there are a ton of snags/vegetation around, sometimes you have to go with a weedless rig to avoid problems.
Bro I usually don’t comment on vids but this video was great! Clear concise descriptions and great underwater footage!
Thanks - I appreciate the comment and I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
My channel will get there one day hah not this good but it will be good 😂😅
I agree. I bought some of these but had no idea what they did or how to use them properly. Now I do 🤓
That has to be one of the best and most informative videos I’ve seen. No stupid music, no mindless chatter. Thx
I appreciate the feedback - thanks!
Agree.❤

I find so many Lures in The Wisconsin River when I Dive.😊 So cool!! Your videos are so Amazing!
I've lost a few in the Wisconsin River for sure!
That sounds like fun and hey free lures to boot! Lol
Can you come over to Northern Indiana and retrieve some of my spinnerbaits for me? Lol

Look for eddies and little bays where the fish can escape the current. They don't want to be in the main flow during high water.
Bladed jigs are my favorite lure. Its nothing for me to hook up on my 3rd or 4th cast of the entire trip using one. Thats the only lure I've ever used where that regularly happens
Awesome. Sounds like you've got the bladed jig technique down really well!
Am I supposed to reel it or pull it to make the correct action
Either of those. You just want to make sure to retrieve it fast enough to keep the blade chattering most of the time. You can pause and twitch/drag it or reel it straight back.

@@FishingwithNat thanks for the response....im going to give it a shot and I'll report back 👍
@@matthewbeckwith663 Sounds great - please do!
Does your chatter bait shake your rods while retrieving? New angler here
Yes, it's from the intense vibration of the blade hitting the jig.
I wonder what is the best skirt length? In other words: What skirt-to-trailer-ratio to choose for any given type of trailer?
I tend to like natural-looking baits, so I picture what I'm trying to imitate and try to match the overall shape to that. A crayfish/crawfish has its claws hanging freely back as it swims, so I like to have a craw trailer sticking way back.

Spinnerbaits are more effective around here too. I catch bass, pike, and bowfin on both though.
Do i have to use one of my swimbait things with a chatter or no
You don't have to, but I usually like adding a swimbait trailer to mine for a little more action.
Do you use weights when fishing chatterbaits?
I do not. I like to work them pretty slowly so extra weight would prevent that. If you want to work them fast or deep, you can buy chatterbaits that are a full ounce or more. You could add weight to a lighter one but I think you would get hung up more in brush or vegetation.

What about the Strike King Rage Blade?
I haven't tried that one. Have you tried it?
@FishingwithNat

r these good for peacock bass

Anyone here have luck with chatter baits in SW FL?
Chatterbaits are very popular in Florida and other southern states.
How do you live in Florida and not have SEVERAL chatterbaots in your tackle box
@@JUJUBEJUBILEE just started getting serious with bass fishing last winter. Been trying to learn how to use different lures once I feel like I’ve made progress with others I already have.
Like 'em...no treble hooks
It's definitely nice to only have one hook sometimes
Yo, I hate to admit this but the "jackhammer" version is far superior than the regular.
The Jackhammer is a very effective and popular chatterbait.
Why would you hate to admit it? Have you been using the regular far too long?
I do not like chatter baits.
What don't you like about them?
@@FishingwithNat they get hung up on weeds/logs/stones
