- Finally! The tricks that make all the difference! When should you throw a swim jig instead of a chatterbait? What about just throwing a swimbait? What makes one better than another? Its time to find out exactly what each bait is for and when to switch between them!
Chatterbaits are incredible lures! They're ability to catch fish is rivaled by only a few other lures. But do they have a weakness? Of course they do! That's where the swim jig steps in. Understanding the differences between the chatterbait, swim jig, and swimbait will help you catch fish day after day. Learning to use these baits as a system instead of sticking with a single option will allow you to adapt to changing conditions on your lake.
Below you'll find links to all the baits discussed in the video. We've included our favorite colors and weights for each, as well as our favorite trailers to compliment each style. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Just landed my PB Largemouth the other day on a Z-Man Jackhammer! It was 26” in length, 18” in girth, and weighed 10 pounds 2 ounces!
Congrats on your double digit PB! 👍🏼💪🏼
Congrats brotha. Chatterbaits are legit. My first fish ever on one was a 5
I’m guessing my 5 biggest fish have come on Jackhammers in February and March? Amazing bait!
What a hog, not a bass like that where i live
One of the biggest advantages to the chatterbait that nobody ever mentions is the feedback you get from the vibration of the bait. The vibration makes the chatterbait really easy for new or inexperienced anglers to feel lite push bites and weeds witch will help them understand what the bait is doing at all times.
That's an awesome point!
I tried a chatter bait yesterday for the first time finally, and I was amazed at the feedback. I went back and fourth between the chatter and a swim bait I had tied on another rod and found myself feeling lost with the lack of feedback. I think I found a new go too.
Same with a big oak blade spinner bait, lots of thump!
Which
I've learned so much from this channel and almost everytime I apply what he talks about I catch more fish.
Me too even got me divorce so now i can by more tackle thanks to Matt & Tim im a free man 😎🎣
@@youtubespanishfishingchann6575 soon to be broke man. Lol better be careful man fishing can be a huge money sink
That was the clarification I needed in immatating bait fish and when and where, I had all but put the chatter away for the summer but now I will bring it back out! I have been waiting for your snap reccomendations as well... cant thank you enough sir! Have a good 1🙂
Very good summary at 18 min mark; great Intel
Matt can you please cover the finesse swim jig with the recommended trailers? Much thanks
TB thanks for the information you put out here. I like watching the fishing but the information helps out just as much as fishing. Thanks SGa
There is nothing better than put in practice what you just learned on a video. I just caught a 7 lb 4oz on the NO JACK S-Gig doing what I learned on this video. Thanks man for sharing the knolage.
Another text book right on presentation on these successful lures. I used your summary to update my notes for each presentation. Now I get out and practice the techniques.
Thank you for taking time to share your expertise.
Take this channel to one million. State/region specific video series. Rod/bait split screen cadence series!
TB is so consistent with the quality that I liked the vid before I watched. Keep it up!
Have been for years! I feel like a Matt and Tim should write a book!
I do the very same thing.
Click play, click like, go full screen, drink coffee and enjoy......
@@OsamaBinDarrel absoluetely
The knowledge learned from these guys is so valuable and appreciated that I’ll let the commercials play while I check my email. As long as it isn’t one of those 40 minute commercials! 😉
Awesome video Matt! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, great presentation. I've been waiting on a good instructional video on these lures. BTW, I tried your Bully Wa Little/Allen frog Monday evening. Caught seven in under an hour, three of which were 4 to 5 lbr's.
Awesome video! Thank you!
You know you’re following the right fishing channel on RUclips when you literally laugh out loud while watching a video that you are also gaining valuable information from. (Matt: baitfish when being chased normally don’t stop and wait to get eaten 😂). In my opinion this is the best informative fishing channel on RUclips. Keep up the good work guys! 🎣
been crushing on a chatterbait lately but have had zero confidence in a swim jig. i tied one on Monday and then you did this video. you read my mind
Thank you so much as always. Can you make some commentary with regards to depth of water and when to use each one and when not ?
A bluegill swim jig is probably my go to summer bait. Specifically the california swim jig with a 4.8 sun gill keitech
Go pats @hc_gabe
@@Mattys91gt well, as long as Brady is gone that’s fine I guess... 😂
Outstanding Video ! good work thank you!!
The experience shows Matt. Huge thank you. Knowing you situation and picking the rt bait to throw in and around grass is an incredible tool to have in the tool bag. Thanks for getting very specific and why!
Great video as usual, but my curiosity never ends when I know other great alternatives for trailers that for me personally gave so many times great results in tough situations, fished even raw without the regular jigs for them but with ned or offset. And I'm not talking about just Bass cz I'm from Europe :D > for that spunk shad there is Illex aka Jackall // I-shad or I-shad tail and for the creatures there is Scissor comb which not many manufacturers are even getting close to that. Please keep this in mind and perhaps you will give it a try for a next time. Best regards and all the appreciations and respect for everything that you're doing.
Hey Matt, on the years I've watched a couple of swim jig videos. All GREAT information!!! My question is, when is it a good idea to use a craw as a trailer? Also, when does it have an advantage over a swimbait?
I would also like to know
It’s related to his point on overall profile and being mindful of what you are attempting to represent. He has a mother video on spinner baits & bladed jigs, he breaks down the craw trailer on chatterbaits in that one.
Another great video. I like this format where you explain the differences between similar lures. And then the optimal situations to use them.
D walker trailer for the swim jig is so good. Thanks for sharing the knowledge
I agree D walker is great .try a lunker city shaker ( less expensive and nearly the same action )
If you use a vmc clip size 1 (68lb) on the swim bait head instead of direct line tie the body will roll heavily as the tail kicks. I've tried this with a vmc jig head with a zman swimbait on the back
Do you use the swivel with the split rings?
I always have a Z-man swimbait tied on. Their new swimbait jigs (with the big eyes) are great, as is the Texas Eye.
@@tbecker403 nah man I do not. And I also hook some of the meat of the zman over the eye of the swimbait zman hack keeps it on there.
I can't throw jigs in north florida lakes. (unless it's in deeper water). The bottoms are so soft and muddy. All I end up catching is muddy grass. Also they seem to get stuck on pads really easy.
This is one of my favorite videos of all time. Watching Matt share this knowledge with such passion is incredibly inspiring. Matt, you are an amazing teacher. Thank you. (Tim you are amazing, too!)
I have switched almost to strictly the zman cross-eyed becUse the rest of my chatter baits are decorating underwater wood. 😆
I'm a bank fisherman and didn't know I could learn so much from this channel. Thank you for packing so much information into each video!
We're happy to help!
Already know this vid is 🔥🔥🔥
You guys have helped me so much thank you for the great content! Also, I am looking to get a 6”10 medium rod for jerkbaits, topwaters, and maybe some lipless as well. I was going to get the expride but they are sold out everywhere! What are your recommendations on other rods I can get that I would be able to get right now?
I would go cheap on a rod with similar stats, but be ready to pounce when the 6’10” Expride is available. Once you have it there’s no other jerkbait rod!
@@guad512 thanks man I appreciate it!
Bro you and Tim always have some good knowledge to give us. You guys are the absolute best!!!
Chatterbait is one of my confidence baits. I will say that I've used various colors and they all catch. I now carry several skirts to quickly change.
Another quality video! How come you recommend the XG high speed reels? I often hear people say to not go above a 7 speed.
You definitely need a high speed reel for chatterbaits! One to do that “quick crank” to create that fleeing action and most importantly to pick up that big bow in the line when a fish bum rushes your bait and keeps coming forward!
I was thinking the same thing.. why chose the XG I always thought that HG was ideal…
Great video. Very helpful. I’m a pond guy and only fishing for a few years. I’ve tried a Chatterbait several times and haven’t caught a thing. I’ve got one tied on all the time and I’m committed to catching a fish with one this summer. I’m wondering if I’m not having success because of the size of bass that are in the ponds. Will a smaller bass (say less than 1.5lbs) hit a Chatterbait?
I started fishing chatter baits this year too man. Out here on the bay of quinte though, bigger fish here. The pre-spawn was great, less weeds here and was great for covering a ton of water finding those fish bulking up for the spawn. I think they will crush it in the fall too. Keep playing with trailers and go for a bluegill profile if your pond hopping. I really liked throwing it in the dirtier water too the bait has a lot of draw power
A large mouth bass will eat anything 3/4's it's size. I just recently started using a chatterbait bluegill colored skirt with a 4 inch Yamamoto pumpkin green top yellow bottom. And I've caught plenty of 2lbers even a 4lber.
Would a 4inch largo Shad make a good swim jig trailer ?
Matt, You like the Spunk shad as a chatter bait trailer but how about a zoom fluke? Do you think it has similar action?
Very similar action but far less durable. We compared both, along with more than a dozen others, in a recent underwater chatterbait trailer video.
Just caught my PB on a swim jig and a River2sea D Walker 100! Didn’t have a scale but 22” and FAT. Maybe 6.5 lb? Missed her the first time on a big blowup, then skipped that jig right back to the boil and BAM! Thanks to TB for all of the great swim jig vids. Really made the difference.
Thats awesome! Congratulations!!
Hey Matt Great video as always, super informative. Quick question?? Have you tried the Berkeley Deal as a trailer by Skeet Reese please try it and tell me what you think!?!
Just getting into this guy's content. Some of the best I've come across for real info. None of this is what I use and what to pair it up with and look I caught one and nothing else. He gives the true functionality and practices for the type of equipment you are using. He had brands yes but it's the explaining of what he is looking for so he can use it for his needs not selling a brand and saying look I caught some on it. Keep up the great great videos. Now to Binge watch all the others... lol
I’m pretty much a soft plastic, chatterbait, spinnerbait and crankbait lord but I’ll still watch videos like these for fun :)
I’d love to see a 2021 buyers guide video like you’ve done in the past, as far as rods and reels/ setups!
I'm a TB fanatic and learned alot from them but I just wish it wasn't always the same vids year after year with just a different bait to talk about I wished they had more videos of new content that they've not done before. Reguardless I still watch them all
Hey Matt, great video. I just got my first baitcaster and I'm looking for a good all-around rod to pair it with that can do swim jigs, swim baits, chatterbait, and texas rigs. I'm seeing Medium Heavy come up a lot in my research, but no one is being specific on the action. Should I be looking at MH/Fast or MH/Moderate-Fast for what I need? Thanks.
Shad is also a fairly wide bodied bait fish. Especially when they get huge like half a pound or bigger.
Do you guys every plan to head up to NH or ME?
Jeremy keep up with TB but check out 603 bass on you tube he has a good podcast on YT thurs night 8pm about NH ME MA and VT fishing. its worth checking out.
Thanks I will def check it out!
Another great trailer for the Chatterbait is the Yamamoto Zako!
White and Chartreuse…..you’re welcome👍🏻😁
Chatterbaits, swim jigs, worms, creatures and neds make up my complete arsenal 🎣💪👍 (my top water rig is a long forgotten classic 🤫😉)
Thjs is great! I must of had a premonition. I just bought a bunch of jigs and swim jigs yesterday. Thankyou for the excellent info as always!
Just wanted to come back and say thx, your video helped me gain some confidence even though I didn't catch a thing😂😂. Today was the 1st day after about 6 times that I actually got and felt a bunch of bites, I kept casting in same area and felt em every cast, but the last one even took off a bunch of reel and boom it popped 😂😂. I actually really liked that swim bait. Thx again, I'm hyped to get back out there, I need to get my knot game up😢😂
My new favorite swim jig is actually one of the cheapest ones I have found. Strike King swim jig mixed with a rage toad
Great 👍 vid. All, I cannot catch a fish on a chatterbait to save my life. I only use jackhammer, evergreen etc. All colors and trailers. I use spinnerbaits and catch them..Swimbait, swim jig etc always catch. Throw a chatterbait and NOTHING. No confidence? Don't keep using it or what. I catch nothing on it. Weird!! Help! Thanks!!
Omg!!! Matt you have me sooo excited for our tournament this weekend!!! Can not wait to put these tips to work!!! This is absolutely awesome 👌👏🙌 when we get first place in one of these tournaments, it's thanks mostly to you and Tim and these amazing videos and tips!!! Hands down, best fishing channel out there! Thanks for all y'alls hard work to help us become better anglers! It is so greatly appreciated ☺💪🎣

Hey Matt, not sure of anyone asks, but I'd like to know what you GoPro setting are and what program you use to edit. My videos never really look that good.
Bh.D certificates for both Matt & Tim. (Bass hunter Degrees)
This is university caliber instruction.
Providing homogenous instruction/data for over a decade.
High IQs with a fun business plan! 🎣 🥳
I caught my PB (7+ lbs) on a chatterbait back in May. But now that it’s summer time, I’m catching more fish, and bigger fish on a black & blue swim jig.
As always, great video Matt!
I like the Thunder Cricket over the jackhammer I will admit the clip is a little lighter on the Thunder Cricket than it is on the jackhammer.
"I don't like when the chatter bait stops and falls, I like to add a pump and speed it up to break the cadence instead"
*shows video of chatterbait stopping and pausing instead of speeding up*
Thanks for the info. Sometimes those baits can be too big for my area, but I’ve had success with both. Thanks for sharing this.
Bass will eat anything 3/4's their size
Thanks for all you guys do, extremely informative. Best channel to learn from hands down.
I’ve no luck throwing into cover like grass matts or lilies. The jig will make it through, but my braid sits on the cover and my lure comes back up out of the water when I’m retrieving. Will a heavier jig bring that 10-15 yards of line into the water?
What about chatterbait for vertical jigging? I vertically jig for lake trout and they love to chase lures retrieved straight and up. I imagine a chatter bait cranked up through the water column will trigger the chase.
Any suggestions for targeting deep fish with chatter baits? By deep I'm talking over 50'.
Man this video was exactly what I needed because I have been so close to putting this puzzle together on my home lake with shallow grass. Done very well with the jackhammer but I want to have a secondary approach to the grass. The way you described “secondary action” with the proper swimbait trailer was key for me. Ready to go pre fish for next tournament now.
I know older video but I have a question. The ponds I bass fish for small fish are bluegill and stocked trout. Should I be going for just bluegill colors on trailers/lures or should rainbow trout type colors work too? Just trying thinking to match what they should be feeding on
Last summer I broke a snap on a jackhammer on a really nice fish. I was so mad. It was in heavy cover plug that specific chatterbait caught hundreds of fish.
Randy Blaukat the (Block Head) says the ribbed lures are not good. Does this make you wrong? Keitech is no longer a good bait. Imagine that.
Since you can fish the jig without a trailer, wouldn't the skirt be primary action and the swimbait added would be secondary action?
What if you are fishing a relatively clear lake that has grass beds but the grass is all the way up to the surface and it's not clumps but just big fields of grass to the surface and in water from the edge of the bank to like just maybe 4-6 feet deep? Any recommendations for a situation like that? The lake has shad , crawfish, variety of sunfish.
I agree with 99% of what you guys say, but we do the “Christie shake” or “Alabama shake” to make the bait hover in cover. Give it a try and you will be surprised
I always learn so much from your videos, and your tips over the past few years have really helped me go from never catching a bass, to finding and catching bass pretty regularly! Now just to find the big ones… lol
Just let you know if you're coming down when you first come on your damn RUclips channel I won't have to slap you in the face every time I watch you
I miss a lot of fish on a Chatterbait for some reason. They seam to grab on but not get pegged. Should I be using a stiffer rod for Chatterbaits?
You are so good at this it's ridiculous. Nicely Done ~
Thanks from Western Kentucky Matt. Much appreciated.
Another great tip is if your skirt is sticking to your bait as you real it in you should trim it about an inch or half an inch to keep your skirt out n flowing in the water
Matt ur the best man hey don't forget we need stickers for my kayak
I still have never fished a swim jig,I’m sure I’m truly missing out 🍻💰
Yes sir you are. Very good bait when fished properly in the right circumstances.
I had a big follower on a chatterbait yesterday. Didn’t think to give the reel two big pumps. Might have caught it
Another Awsome video . Thanks will be putting this into action 😁
for me in the north i love to throw the chatterbait in open water and light grass . i throw my swim jig through heavy stuff that guard helps so much on the 3/4oz and 1oz . i never caught anything small with swim jigs . i find that if you lift your rod up and make the skirt puff to make a circle ⭕️ then start swimming it again it imitates a shocked bluegill . i get a ton of bites on that . i also started playing with rubber silicone swim jigs have you guys tried those ?
Was hoping for a real quick comment on when he uses the craw shaped bait.
What power/action rod do you prefer for those 1/2- 3/4 oz California swim jigs?
Outstanding video, Matt !!! Thank you!
I’m 42 minutes late no!!!
I’m kinda of a new angler. I went to Bass Pro Shops and looked at some other rods and they were almost $200 dollars! I can’t afford those rn in my life! Are different rods really necessary for all the different setups that there are? 😬
Short answer: No.
Unless you’re fishing to eat to survive, or are a pro... get a 6’6” Medium Heavy and go to town. An Ugly Stik Elite is like 50 bucks.
@@benwood7132 thanks man, because I’m no where close to affording this kind of stuff, I just graduated college lol
No problem brother. Another thing to remember: The fish don’t know or give one single crap what rod or reel you have. As long as it works correctly and doesn’t break, you will catch em’.
The place to spend some money if you need to, is on lures.
@@benwood7132 thank you for the info! Much appreciated
Berkley Cherrywood rods ($25-$30) and Berkley Lightning rods ($35-$40) are good budget rods. I own a few types.
Whe you are using the largo Shad on a swim jig do you cut the tendon or leave it attached
What’s difference between a chatterbait and a bladed jig if any?
Chatterbait is an actual branded, patented product. "Bladed jig" is the name given to the category after other brands started ripping them off.
@@tacticalbassin ahhh understood! But is that all a chatterbait really is, just a bladed jig or am I getting it confused with a vibrating jig?
I had a giant smallmouth hit my chatterbait so hard i came back with a snap and a blade! Lol. It separated from the jig. I was bummed but more shocked.
Rarely do I ever disagree with Matt or Tim but a killed Chatterbait retrieve works. Period. In Matt’s mind “that’s not how a baitfish would react” ok well do baitfish turn around and head right for the predator chasing them? No, but that’s exactly what swimbaits and glide baits do and that’s usually when they get smashed. Meaning it may not make sense but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t work. Killing the retrieve and hoping or ripping off bottom work with chatters, sometimes they are “the” retrieve for that given day. I’ve seen time and time again where I’ll be straight retrieving a Jack Hammer, with reel kicks as Matt explained, I’ll then let the bait fall to the bottom and have a fish that was following but not committing take the bait off bottom. If enough fish are taking the bait off the bottom, you might as well use a jig to save possibly losing a Jack. 2 wks ago I had a 5 fish 22lb 2oz day (northern illinois) and every fish came from taking a Jack hammer ripped off the bottom. If anyone needs proof, ask I’ll post my ig account. I love Matt and Tim but occasionally they’ll get something in their heads where something doesn’t make sense “to them” and completely disregard that it works for loads of others.
Good info! You also gotta try the XZone Swammer on a Swim Jig, and definitely on a bladed jig. The erratic action is incredible! 👊
Love me a bladed-jig and swim-jig bite on our grass lakes up here in Vilas County $$ Thanks for the video, bro… Always learning and getting better ~ Peace ~
I think of swim jigs literally right after sunset usually.
That or surface lures.
If you wanted to use an elastech type trailer for each is there a good option?
I've broken a jackhammer swivel was fishing 20lbs sunline shooter the fish was huge seriously broke my heart. But I caught alot of fish on that exact jackhammer probably worn out swivel I guess. Awesome video
So if you trying to look as real as possible, why not just use live baits
I figured you'd throw a big swimbait on a Beast hook in grass. You said imitating smaller baitfish, clear more open water for the swimbait. I love a big swimbait in grass on a weedless hook.
Me: catches normal sized dinks all day.
Matt: If your catching normal sized bass don't worry about it.
Me: oh crap, I better buy new snaps and stock up on jackhammers!
Took your advice today and landed my PB smally!🙌🏽 used chatterbait with a neon fat Albert on the hook I threw on.. Thank you mate! Fish on!🙏🏽🔥🔥🎣🎣
Did you mean to put XG reels in the description? Idk if I’ve ever seen you guys suggest over HG and I thought bladed jigs were typically a slower gear bait?
California delta !!!! I'm northern California 👍
