How To Fish A Chatterbait (Beginner Tips AND Advanced Tricks)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 окт 2024
- The Chatterbait is one of the best bass fishing lures of all time! Its easy to use, even beginners catch bass on them. So why is one guy consistently catching bigger fish on a Chatterbait than everyone else?
Are you the guy that's catching them or the guy that's wondering why someone else is?
Matt takes us to the core of the Chatterbait technique in this in-depth seminar-style video on chatterbaits and bladed jigs. From the baits themselves to an underwater look at the Chatterbait trailers, we're going to examine every aspect of chatter bait fishing.
We don't stop there, we're also going to discuss rods and gear for the technique. Matt examines both the finesse and power fishing approaches to Chatterbait fishing and explains the merits of both.

Somehow, whenever I want to try a new technique or bait for bass… I end up on your channel and learn a ton. You guys are amazing
I’m 3 months new to bass fishing and already learned a caught a couple of dozen fish based off your tips and experience. Now I’m trying to learn to fish a chatterbait and based on your tips for such, I already feel confident that when I do throw one, I’ll catch some, and more.keep it coming Matt, so much to learn and thank you.🙏
Best fishing vids on RUclips period
Nicholas Frumkin clearly...
1000% best super intelligent humble guys doesn’t get any better
I agree.
Thank you guys! We appreciate the support!!
Richard gene the fishing machine. Is my favorite. But this is my favorite Bass channel.
Will Martin says it best. Not many folks go into specifics on exactly how to fish the baits, but you layout it ARMY style simple, simple, simple step by step instructions. Thanks so much !!!!!
Thanks for taking the time to teach these lessons. This is my 1st Spring fishing & because of your channel I've caught 5 huge bass my first day out fishing the bank in about 1 hour. Sending you the best from CNY!!
Hooking the Keitech upside down was a gem for me. It's little things like that are what keep me tuned in to these fishing channels. Picking up different techniques here and there. Salute to you sir.
What a great video. I really can not thank you guys enough for your time.your info is just golden. Thanks again
I had no idea how to evaluate a bladed jig before this video. Thanks a ton.
Matt said keep it simple. I’m now about $500 in jigs, crankbaits swimbaits soft plastics jerkbait spinner baits lines hooks etc. I just wanted to buy a rod and reel and catch some fish. I also have 6 rods since my bass career started 3 months ago. Thanks a lot Matt
This is very Addicting to buy bass stuff. I started last year but find the cheeper stuff. Or on clearance.
Why couldnt I have seen this video months ago. I've missed so many fish that were easily catchable. Thank you for your words of wisdom!
I was missing some until i switched to a 6:1 reel and started sssllloooowwww rolling. Something I learned from Roland Martin...reel just fast enough to barely get that blade moving. Been killing it every since I slowed my retrieve down with a crazy high hookup ratio.
Anyone who wants to learn Chatterbait fishing must watch this comprehensive video. Great job, Matt.
You guys are one of my favorites. I learn so much from your videos. Thank you for teaching us.
I swear tactical bassin is the most informative and worthwhile fishing channel on RUclips.
Any time I legitimately have a question about one technique in specific snd really want in depth.
Very detailed, well explained. Amazes me the depth of thought that goes into bass behavior at every moment of the hunt. You help humble me and encourage deeper thought when fishing. Thanks.
I just found this and I needed it bad. I've heard alot about Chatterbaits. I fished alot of smaller contests back in the 80s and 1990's. Then I simply took a couple of decades off of fishing completely, got caught up in other things, hunting, running long distance etc. Just recently I have gotten back into it, found the bug again and it bit me bad this time. The passion is strong, just bought another bass boat(2 now). Lots of things have changed drastically over time. There wasn't such thing as a Chatterbait back in the old days. This instructional type video is a God's Send for me. Thanks again and please keep up this type of video on your channel. Sonny Pruitt
Fantastic Presentation Matt - Like always - Dude - You were born to do exactly this. Getting ALL this knowledge & experience here FREE - it's like stealing. This type of platform has enabled
especially new anglers the ability to learn 'who, what, where, when, why, & how of bass fishing' so much faster. And you guys are leading the way ! Love it.
Aj Lynn shhhhh it's free don't give them Ideas to charge lol shh j/k of course. Love their videos and mindset to get the catch.
New fisherman here, only been fishing the last couple of years to get my son fishing (started him around age 4). Only been using live bait and bobbers or top water frog here in Michigan and I'm still using my first spinning rod/reel combo I started with. Time to expand out and start different types of gears, styles and baits. Searched for chatter bait fishing and loved your video, very informative. You've got me excited to drop some money on new stuff and try it out. This is the first of your videos I have watched and I'm excited to see the rest.
Great video. Personally I like a 7 foot Medium-Heavy, medium fast, and 30 lb braid to 16 lb fluoro leader.
Never even heard of Chatter baits before this video, man was I missing out. They were all about it this morning. My buddy was blown away by the amount of fish we landed. Great morning on the water, thanks again for all your hard work on this channel.
Hay Matt! Absolutely wonderful instructional video and I'm truly grateful for helping me better understand how to fish various chatter baits. Really like the in-depth "why", for choosing a bait and color. Sure, I have moderate experience as a fisherman, but it's never too late to learn anything about lures and presentation. Too many professional anglers just assume we know a good bit and many times, that's just not true. Well done my friend, to you and your team and keep up the awesome work!
Hi guys, I have been watching your videos for about a year now and they are generally awesome. They are always informative, with facts and techniques that work. I am 71 years old and live in central Florida where the seasonal weather changes are usually not as drastic as the rest of the country. This situation causes me some confusion in determining what seasonal techniques to use at any given time as dictated by weather conditions and/or water temp. I have used many of your suggestions with great success in catching numbers of fish, but so far no double digit fish. I would love to see a video from you guys covering some of the aspects of central Florida bass fishing. Thanks again and keep up the good work.
This video was exactly what I was looking for to learn how to fish this bait, thank you very much. Keep up the good work.
Came in knowing nothing about chatterbaits, left feeling like and expert and cant wait to give it a try. Best fishing channel out there, subbed for life!
That slight keitech mod, GOLDEN.
Matt I'm going to think of you as a professor from now on. This video reminded me of attending a lecture when at college. Your organized and systematic approach makes the information easy to follow. I appreciate the explanations for the specific technique you recommend. The video of lure motions makes the information that much easier to remember. Thank you for an excellent video.
Awesome video...
Yes, Jackhammer is really good but too expensive for most folks. Check out the Strike King Pure Poison. Blade connection very similar to Jackhammer and starts super fast too at half the price. Caught my PB this spring on the Strike King at 7.5lbs which is huge for Illinois.
Good really interesting video, I bought an original chatterbait zman (White) and as a trailer I bought a baby bass color yamamoto cowboy, can you tell me if it will work?
Awesome video ! I love the longer more in-depth videos like this, you cover so much information. You answered a lot of questions I had and gave me new things to think about when I'm fishing chatterbaits this season. I'm sure I'll watch this 2 or 3 more times.
BTW , I've noticed when I'm driving past lakes, ponds in my area, the Frogs are out, I can hear them croaking starting about sunset, When do you typically start Frog fishing ? before or after the spawn ? or is water temp the key for you ?
Fred McCormack I would love to hear the answer to this too... and I also love the longer vids.
Good to know, Thanks for the input
I had gotten out of fishing and was mainly into hunting. This year I got back into fishing and learned about the chatterbait. I love this bait and the bites it gets. This video has told me things about chatterbaits that I didn’t know since this is the first year using them. I love how you guys break down things in your videos. It is broken down in away that is simple and easy to follow. There isn’t any getting sidetracked and talking about something totally different. You guys do a outstanding job. I watch you guys a lot and it has helped me understand things that I didn’t before. I would love to fish with you guys one time it would be a pleasure to do so. Thank you for the videos and keep them coming. I wish you guys the best luck and God Bless each and everyone of ya’ll.
I think this is my 3rd or 4th time watching this 😂, so much useful info!
Maybe I missed it, is your favorite non craw trailer the Zako or Trimmed Keitech or something else?
I love your content I’m going fishing this week down at a lake in Southern California my father does your gardening Alex and sons he lives right on the lake where are you guys fish at thank you for all the good tips🤙💯
by far the BEST chatterbait video on RUclips period! I like the Picasso blade for fun/pond fishin and the zman jackhammer for game day. nrx854c with a chronarch mgl for heavy cover & shimano 72mh glass expride wit a metanium DC for open water, 15lb floro for both
This was one of the most beneficial videos I've watched in a long time.
SUBSCRIBED... I'm a Crappie Fisherman and people are enticing me with Bass Fishing as I live close to Lake Fork in Texas. Going for the 1st time Monday & had to look up this bait because I need Bass Tackle. What you are saying and showing appeals to the way I will follow a person's advice. Thanks. I can guarantee you this 29 minute video took you W A Y LONGER TO MAKE THAN 29 minutes so Thank You Sir.
I love a fluke for the chatterbait! Great Video~!
My go to channel on everything fishing. The amount of time I have spent on channel is insane. Thank you guys for your time and effort. Keep up with the great work. Thanks for helping me enjoy the sport.
Thank you Tyler for the support!
I'm going on tacklewarehouse right now and getting mine for the season
The Fishing Experience I am to haha
weouchhere too
Matt, again, you don't fail to deliver top notch advice with clarity and reason. Keep them coming.
Check out the Kistler reel n feel rods for that grass type of fishing. Its a hybrid between graphite and glass and workz great for a lot of reaction baits.
Kistler is amazing. Some of the best rods I've ever owned.
I just started fishing last spring. Not knowing what I was doing, I started on RUclips, but was quickly overwhelmed by the amount of different options, techniques, theories, and equipment. I went out with a white spinner bait, a jig, and a green swim bait and caught fish. Not monsters, and not always bass, but I was having fun.
I have heard of people using chatterbait, and doing well, and since it was like my beloved white spinner bait, I figured it would work the same. I was wrong. I didnt know to put anything behind it. I didnt realize the technique with it.
Watching your video, explaining the differences between them, how to rig them, different trailers and why, etc. I went out and bought a different chatterbait (Z-Man Project Z, green pumpkin, 1/2oz) and paired it with the 4in Cowboy creature bait. I went out to where I knew bass were, threw out my spinner and nothing seemed to care. I then threw out this chatter bait, the exact same spot, varied up the retrieve and landed the biggest bass I have ever seen in person!
Thank you for making this video. It really does help us novice fishermen, who have difficulty figuring out this mess, let alone catch a fish or two.
You really just made me get out of bed at one in the morning to go flip around my trailer on my chatter bait
Great video again. You're flat out the best informational fishing channel on youtube! One thing I would LOVE to see from you is how you would adjust all these techniques you've talked about to fishing from shore (lake and river). What techniques just won't work from shore, what will work that won't work from a boat. Most every informative channel is from a boat, and most every channel from the shore is just a vlog.
how about a video comparing spinnerbaits, chatterbaits, and swim jigs to know when to use what?
Great tip! I been throwing chatterbait with very little luck religiously because it seems awesome. I watched your video and changed the rod to a heavy rod and did the retrieve like you said. I put the double swirl tail trailer on and 2nd cast I caught a nice 3+ pounder and I could barely detect the bite but you also mentioned that in the video so I didn't sleep on it and landed him. Ended uo with one more by the end of the day. Only went out for 3 hours but you changed the game for me. Thanks man!!
Do you guys have any thoughts on the Z-man/Evergreen Freedom chatterbaits? For grass fishing and weedless applications I've had some decent success. The feature that really keyed me in on that particular design is the ability to change out the hooks in different situations, or when the hook is dull. Just wondering your thoughts
I have had success also on these... I was wondering why he didn't mention it..
Absolutely the best video on chatterbait out there. So well orgainzed! Best teaching channel on RUclips.
I'd really like to see a compare and contrast hollow body (Basstrix, etc) vs solid body (Keitech, etc) swimbait video... thanks as always, fellas.
Ian Kehler that would be awesome I’m a local in Arizona and two of my buddies agree with you!!!
Ian Kehler best of luck I hope you catch a giant !
every saturday i fish all day and i swear everytime i decide what im going to try and fish for the day, you guys post an in depth video of that bait..... you guys are the BASS GODS!
Only zman have blade to eye hook connection. It’s their patent. That’s why the other companies have some sort of connection between the blade and eye of the hook.
Been fishing for 50+ yrs, have an assortment of chatters but haven't fished them very much. I think that's apt to change. Thank You!
always the best information! !!
How about a video on inline spinner baits. They seem to work well for some guys on my lake. I can’t figure out their secret to making them work.
Matt and Tim do it again. The only place to go for information thanks again guys
Back in the day Matt and Tim did a ton of videos together, I miss the old challenge videos
I learned more about chatterbaits in this one video than I have in a dozen videos. Thank you!!
All your how to videos are awesome! And that bantam! Can't wait until they are in Stock, and remember guys both tacklewarehouse and fishusa offer a 10% military discount!! Thanks again Matt, BTW how long of a leader do you use on a chatter bait?
Chris Mata Thanks!
@@davidrauschenbach6871 so what was the answer to your leader length question?
I can't imagine the work you put into these videos. The attention to detail and the underwater footage is amazing. Thanks for what you do!
you are killing me matt-just dropped $200 on another of your recommendations-but I'm catching more so I forgive you
story if my life, i think my wife is going to divorce me when she sees my shopping cart when im buying stuff... every friday to fish for the next week SMH haha.
Yeah, it happens. Just did the same off his swim jig video. Lol
russell scara I know right my wife is gonna leave me if I keep watching these videos at night and spending money after each one 😂🤷🏼♂️oh well more time to fish then
Guy with no wife here....Guess what guys.....I get to go buy whatever I want this weekend!!! Lol. Just busting balls. Forgive me I'm lonely ha!! Although freedom makes up for it.
Same here jackhammers got me big time
I came back to watch this video again. Iv'e been using chatterbaits with great success, and I have to say, everything Matt has said, I agree with 100%. Started fishing in lighter gear and now I throw them on a Curado K 8.5:1 and a Dobyns 795SB. I've found this setup to be particularly necessary for smallmouth as what happens, is that the hooks rip big holes in their mouths and when you have a big fish in current, that also changes direction and charges the boat, you need something with both backbone and something fast to take up the line.
I pretty much fish it the same way Matt recommends using a Hud, and that's to jack them, then reel, reel, reel.
Caught a 20lbs flathead on a chatterbait alot of emotions in one catch
D Squared hahaha can you imagine , if I did that I’d be screaming PB GET THE NET
Then I’d cry
man! know the feeling. hook up on a huge goo or choupique (bowfin). immediate excitement, then the flash/roll. Damn! lol
Congratulations , flatheads are awesome !
@Donald Martin We catch drum all the time walleye trolling up on Green Bay. The first couple are exciting, but once you realize they aren't 20lb walleye, it's a drag to have to re-set all the lines on that side of the boat. Definitely a great fighting fish, a 5lb drum behind a planer board looks like a big muskie hit it, usually pulls the board under and then you have to fight that as well as a fish. The running joke is "your bobber's down" when you know a drum hit your buddy's line.
Did it last week,chatterbait huge strike then the deep dive.17 lb kitty,bummer
Great instructional video, as always. I made some tweaks to my chatterbait fishing after watching this video and it has made a huge difference over the last couple of weekends. I have a lot more confidence with these presentations now. Thanks again!
I am not going to be brand specific but I only use a Picasso or Zman.
I just got my first chatter andits a Zman i hope it works
He isn't being biased, just letting us know what he uses and why.
The picasso chatterbaits look amazing i have 3 in my cart on ebay right now, really like the hook and skirt set up
I took your advice on flipping the swim bait upside down and caught 2 LMBs on my lunch break today. Went back this evening and got 7 more. A few over 3lbs. Thanks Matt!
Thats funny the "cowboy" looks like a bow legged cowboy ready to draw his 6 shooters
Yosemite sam lol
Rusty Nutz - If you stick it up your nose it makes a handle bar mustache. Chicks dig it!
Getting back into bass fishing after about 7 years off and I really wanted to try chatterbaits because they're new to me. Had no luck with them so far. After watching this video, I caught my first two in the same day. The first one was after only 3 casts. Thanks for the helpful tips👍
JackHammer 👀
Tactical can do no wrong. Keep at it, this channel means a lot to me. It goes beyond tips and tactics at this point, I have an emotional connection to bass fishing and this channel has made me feel like I'm not the only one out there that's completely obsessed. Bless you guys
No don't let the secret out about the Picasso, seriously though it's freaking top notch.
LMB_ Toad_Catcher agreed
I've had issues with a few not vibrating properly early in the cast. I've had some I had to really snap to get thumping. Which when you are target fishing that's a pain. That said I have gotten good fish on them.
I've been fishing all me life ,but living in a small town I've only just come across these chatterbaits, can't wait to try them this spring ! Thanks for the tips
Fat girls simply won't Chase Rockets. That fat beauty you caught on the rip bait that leaped completely out of the water a few vids back is pretty rare. They're simply to obese which has a lot to do with slowing them down.
I go mod-floro on C rigs on thick sparse grassy flat spread tailing piles too. I purposely catch the grass and slightly load up the tip and a few light shakes and pop I am out without the rocket effect.
I go heavy in the mud though. I'm like you I love complete control of that fat, powerful head shaking fish... lol.
Mr. FatBasstard you make me laugh with you’re intros man hahahahaha
"Fat girls simply won't chase rockets"... I think I'm going to make a shirt that says that!
Bassin NW503 lmao I'll buy one...
I'm glad you guys saw the humerus side of that comment :-)... I mentioned that at a club meeting once here in the central California Foothills and two guys right off the bat wanted to tell me about they're five and seven pound crankbait fish. When I say Fat Girls I'm talking about double-digit and teeners that look like Greyhound buses in the water. They are so big they get lethargic just from crapping out a 2 lb trout.
I always tell first time big swimbaiters if you want to know why we creep 12-inch Huds just watch a 300-pound fat lady try to get off the couch...
Mr. FatBasstard a hahahah man you’re dead on!
yeah, thats usually the case, I've seen big bass do some crazy shit tho lol. I caught my pb, 12lbs, on a square bill that had come just over the hump to a sand flat, go about 10ft, and I watched that fish come from the gloom behind up onto the flat, waking at full speed, and inhale it.
Your catalog of instructional videos is crazy amazing. Just started to mess around with chatterbaits and no one covers it like you. The best I found online... As usual! Thanks. Keep cranking them out. great work.
Jackhammer isn’t just my favorite bladed jig it’s my favorite bait in general.
First time watching your channel. I’m a newb to the bass fishing world and I like the way you explain things and how you give examples. Def subbing
This is one your best videos to date Matt. You can tell how knowledgeable and passionate you are about this topic. Great.
Its unreal how much I've learned from you guys I now use braid to leader and have learned all kinds of things and this video was perfect I had so many questions about chatterbaits
I’ve caught some giants on a chatterbait but the bites I get are few and far between. Thanks to this video, I think I finally found my issue. I usually just burn it straight in through all types of cover and even no cover but everything you said about different retrieve styles makes total sense and I feel 100% more confident in throwing a chatterbait. Great video!!!
That comparison with the heavy gear and light gear makes a lot of sense. Great video. I've been struggling with these baits every time I use them.
You, sir, are a godsend. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience, it is much needed for a lot of us lacking luck with our chatterbait fishing ! ❤
Thank You, this was a great presentation, very well done for us guys who aren’t experienced.
I bough couple of Z-Man Custom and they caught me 10# on 20 minutes when no one else was catching anything. i cannot thank you enough for sharing your techniques and baits.
I just started fishing about two years ago , and thanks to this video , I learned Ive been using chatter bait wrong the whole time , I will be looking into more of your videos
Opened my eyes to numerous things. I’ve never thrown one but I am in a few weeks and real glad you put the video out before my trip. Thanks for disclosing all of your chatterbait knowledge!
Recently found your channel. Best fishing instructor on RUclips.
I love this video, I've been wanting to add them to my arsenal but needed to do some home work first. Good lesson, this is about as good as it gets I definitely will be adding some to my tackle box. One thing I would like to see is some fishing from shore lessons. Not on a pond. maybe drive to a lake and explain where you went and why, what to look for . . that sort of thing. There's a lot of folks out there that can only fish from shore. Keep up the good work, I enjoy your method of teaching
The gap between TacticalBassin and any other fishing channel is insane. You guys are by far the best and most informative channel around. Thank you!
I've been trying to find a beginners IN DEPTH video on fish finders. I fish from a kayak myself so that's specifically what I'm after, but there's doesn't seem to be anything out there. I'm talking where to buyers guide with reviews, how to use them, how to use the chips, how to set them up, etc. I know nothing and have no clue where to start.
GREAT VIDEO AS ALWAYS!
Thanks for breaking it down. As always, your experience shared is appreciated. I don't have the ability to spend the kind of time on the water that it takes to experiment with multiple techniques and tactics. Your information is like a map to the treasure chest. I've still gotta dig but I know I'm in the right spot!
Talk about timing! Perfect video for us NJ fishermen. We're still waiting for the weather to turn and chatterbaits are on the menu for bass here. Love that Jackhammer.
I’m new to chatterbait in Australia. Thanks for a brilliant tutorial. Hitting the reservoir tomorrow 🤞
Best bass fishing channel on RUclips! You guys should do a video on reel maintenance.
Best chatterbait video on youtube! Awesome tips and even works for us Maine guys! I went from not having much confidence in the chatterbait to really putting in the work and now is my favorite bait. My 3 best fish have all come off of a chatterbait with a paddle-tail trailer. Also waters i fish have a lot of pike and they love them too
I just got my first chatter bait and this video answered all my questions. Thank you!
Thanks Mat, been trying to decide what rod to get for chatterbaits. This helps.
You're the most informative fishing channel on YT, the amount of info i absorb from your lessons is epic, its making me 10x better at bass fishing.
Just learning chatterbaits.... Thank you so much for the ideas.
What an incredible video. As a novice fisherman I really appreciate you taking the time to really break down, what seems to be, EVERY aspect of chatterbaits. So many questions answered. Thank you.
I only watch about 2 minutes of most RUclips videos. I have probably watched a combined 1000 hours of Tactical Bassin vids, I can't pull away because I may miss something. I would suggest a fish finder video next, hopefully you use a Lowrance. Thanks for the info, you guys have helped me figure out a lot about fishing.
Watched the video for the third time and still learning. Guess I am kind of a slow learner. Have to say I totally love these long in depth videos!
What a fantastic video. Simple to understand presentation and lots of valuable information. I have yet to catch my first bass on a bladed jig, but after watching this I have high hopes. I will comment again after applying some of these tips. Thanks Tactical Bassin’! Well done!
Matt this video has absolutely changed my chatterbait fishing game. I always struggled with confidence in throwing a chatterbait because I hated the lazy action of the swimbait trailer I used. The rigging of the trailer really opened my eyes to the power of this bait. However I broke my chatterbait rod this past weekend and I was looking to upgrade. I primarily fish shallow grass with a 1/4 and 3/8 chatterbaits. Do you guys still feel the Cashion Med/Heavy still the best fluro chatterbait rod available?
