3 Chatterbait TIPS You NEED To KNOW!

[@connermillison8141]

2:44. Bites the top off instead of cutting it even though he’s holding scissors in his hand. A true bass fisherman. 😂😂

[@lambassted3040]

Not certain why bite the thing when you were using the scissors to trim it already.. but good tips either way.

[@jurisprudence6549]

Exactly my thoughts as well lol

[@LovinGodandmusic]

Lol, I was thinking the same thing. But I agree... very good simple tips that really are affective 👍

[@joecuillo5005]

Absolutely ridiculous to bite it😆 And to put down the scissors to do so

[@julianjayy3415]

Maybe a habit

[@Woutdoorsy]

I guess biting it feels like you are tough, thanks for the tips.

[@4AMBassFishing]

I fish bladed jigs a lot I mean ALOT and I never thought of the profile of the trailer flipping it over. Really smart to think of.. appreciate the video and info.

[@BassFishingHQ]

Thanks for watching dude! It will definitely come through wood better!

[@chrispuchi5750]

Just caught my pb of 3.03 using one and planning to get a bigger one with the chatter bait

[@Trippleeej92]

That tip about keeping the lure in the strike zone by casting parallel to the bank is why you will always be the best bass channel at least in my opinion

[@drewmoyerbassin6136]

Wow the wood snags too makes so much sense but I never would have thought about it. That’s awesome

[@BassFishingHQ]

It really helps big time!

[@alexanderplatinhair8867]

Perfect tutorial.. Thank you. Greetings from Warsaw Poland. Alex.

[@BassFishingHQ]

Thanks Alex

[@AVENSTIN]

good tips glad to watch this vid cuz i dont fish chatterbait alot and not really confident with them, gonna give it another shot

[@BassFishingHQ]

Once you get more confidence you will love them! If you got a small pond close by where you can catch a lot of bass, that’s the best to grow your confidence in a new lure

[@Glock-1]

I use the Berkley Slobberknocker in wood because it hardly ever gets hung up, but I do love Chatterbaits then again I love tons of lures because I’m a tackle junkie!

[@dyalikedags]

Watching this waiting for the ice to thaw here in Illinois... i think the flat trick will help for weeds come summer too.

[@19ZOLTAN18]

I never thought about flipping my Zman bug lures. Now they’re no longer useless! Also I love the casting techniques. Very cool and effortless

[@lonnieparks1638]

Cool magic trick at the end there. reel,reel,reel, TA DA!! BASS IN HAND!!

[@crush1020]

Thank you so much for that video. I just asked SIRI “ how do I work a chatter bait?” And your video was the first one but, you explained it all. I didn’t need to watch multiple videos. Thanks again! 😊

My favorite video of yours. And that’s only because I love a chatter bait. This was the first video of yours that I remember seeing. But I really like all your stuff Tyler as I said before

[@BassFishingHQ]

This was one of the first videos that actually took off for me. Glad you have stuck around

[@haroldcale4767]

No boat no kayak, bank is fishing gets me going. Thanks for the bank fishing v's. FISH ON !

[@joegrande4848]

Things to concider. Quality attractant thats water based such as proline and procure. Proline has shad, herring, nightcrawler, creyfish and frog. Procure has shrimp, eel shrimp, trout and bloodworm. All quality attractant to have in your arsinal. Along with current wind and environmental trends with varying retrieve speeds and pauses. Key factors to catch fish. A quality attractant is ideal to have to draw fish, yes especially for night fishing 😊

[@johnbaker4847]

that's when kayakers have the advantage, we can fish structure parallel to shore that bank fishermen can't access... 👍🎣😎😊👍

[@timothymason8779]

Thanks for your Chatterbait Tips

[@angelbrace5962]

Really the number 1 tip is get a boat 😢

[@Gods-Shepherds]

Buy a kayak.youll enjoy it more and can fish more places.

[@cm-pu6tx]

Kayak, or pond prowler if you want to stand. I can put my pond prowler in anywhere and it fits in the pickup bed

[@Brandon-gj8zy]

[@brucer9409]

Just viewed your "downsize" pitchin baits video and this one, and I like your ideas and presentation. Where are you out of? Here in CT the only water that gets that dirty/muddy is the CT River (here in CT). You better stick with that fired craw! I see a bunch of your other videos that I can't wait to view. I'll check out Columbus Barrel Co. as well.

Any info or tips for throwing hvy chatty in 10-20 ft water 3/4 - 1 1/4 oz And umbrella rigs with chatty Thanks for your video inscribed 👍🏻

[@thedawsonian9094]

Notice you fish it pretty high in the water column, start cranking immediately after it hits from the cast. do you think that’s preferable over letting it sink on the cast and retrieve it along the bottom, working it up & down as you go?

[@BassFishingHQ]

The Dawsonian I think it all depends on the situation you are fishing. In this video I was fishing in a foot or two of water so I was starting my retrieve right away. There have been times where I have fished clear water and have basically slow rolled it across the bottom and caught them doing that. I have also fished Hydrilla before when I work the chatterbait more like a jig through the grass. So it all depends on the situation

How you like that Bass Pro rod? I have the 7'6"MAG HEAVY EXTRA FAST paired with the Johnny Morris Platinum Signature Series 6:8:1 and it's my favorite cranking setup. I love that reel also but I just wish it came in more gear ratios instead of just the two

Because he bites his baits when he has scissors in his hand.

[@ejzabojnik834]

Good video. I did think it was funny that you bit off the top of the bait but then used scissors to modify the bait. I had the smile at that. I have bitten off many soft plastics over time but the worst one was when I bit off a Berkley power bait. That was nasty.

[@BassFishingHQ]

Lol I bet that power bait is gross

[@joecuillo5005]

Lol!! I bet that was really nasty

Awesome tip sir!

[@socalbassin3741]

New to your vids. Next time, for any soft plastic, just grab firmly where you need to cut and twist! I get a relatively smooth tear every time. Let me know!

[@TimHaunFishing]

I'll give that a try. I usually have my braid scissors or multitool nearby so this usually isn't an issue. I tried biting a bit off a lure once, nope.

[@Gbrooks2312]

do you have to have a trailer for your chatter bait

[@nbe386]

What are you using for gear for chatterbaits?

[@jreezy70]

New to fishing, so you always use a trailer on a chatter bait? I was thinking the chatter bait itself was lure enough, no? Thx

[@jasonlitherland4270]

Trailers are cool ive caught stuff without them though

[@Jesse-jc4vv]

Someone shops at Costco! I have that same jacket

[@CoopTroop19]

Is it better to go straight fluro or a braid with fluro leader .

[@biggiesmalljaws]

Depends on what cover and water clarity you are fishing. I run straight braid in heavily stained water fishing cattails in the Spring and transition to straight fluoro as the grass starts cleaning the water and turning it clear.

[@nathanramee793]

Great tips; super helpful. Thank you! My question is why trim the plastic bait?(Whether with scissors or teeth.)

[@lukechristopher8824]

He's probably wanting a little smaller profile to match the size of his chatterbait

[@davidmerrill1319]

And too much trailer gets them further away from the hook point. Nipping at the tail.

[@jonmorris4730]

so it doesn’t effect the profile of the jig itself.

[@SoSaysYou]

Won't the change of trailer from zako to structure big.caise the bait to fish higher in the water column?

[@biggiesmalljaws]

Yes

[@evandoney8469]

I just cut up old sankos to use as trailers

[@danielross3220]

What kind of line do you use

[@carb1130]

What combo is best for a chatter bait. 1/4 oz - 3/8 oz

[@BassFishingHQ]

I really like a 3/8oz in early spring, and a 1/2 pretty much the rest of the year

[@carb1130]

@@BassFishingHQ ok what length and action rod should i use and gear ratio

[@BassFishingHQ]

If you can only have one set up. I would go with a 7’3” M and a 7.1:1 gear ratio reel.

[@johnschauder]

That is some muddy water! Did u get a lot of rain before you shot this? Also, do you have any tips on tuning the blade of a chatterbait?

[@BassFishingHQ]

John Schauder yes it had rained quite a bit when I shot this video. When it comes to tuning the blade I really haven’t experienced a time where I needed to tune the blade, especially when using a higher end lure like the jack hammer. As long as your trailer is threaded on straight, the chatterbait should run properly

[@johnschauder]

BassFishingHQ really? That is interesting because the jack hammer is the one that I want to mess with. I was using one this past weekend and it just didn’t seem to vibrate as hard as other chatterbaits. I want to mess with the metal blade… But I don’t know which way to go with it.

[@roc_on_bassin3293]

Nice tip thank you 🙏🏽

[@BassFishingHQ]

Thanks for watching!

[@roc_on_bassin3293]

Anytime knowledge is power and that was some good information and tips I appreciate you

[@craigdahlin9529]

Do these tips only work for the brand chatterbait or for all bladed jigs,

[@BassFishingHQ]

All bladed jigs

[@craigdahlin9529]

Sorry if that seemed sarcastic, but I know chatterbait has design features that other bladed jigs aren't allowed to use. Thanks for the response 👍and great video

[@JohnHolmes-dy8zo]

Don't throw it over stick ups/"wood" unless the limb inst very sturdy. Always remember the first thing the fish are gonna do is run you under and wrap your line around the limb.

[@ngbay160]

What colors do you recommend for stained water like that?

[@jaceakers6391]

I know I’m not him but I like white and chartreuse and red

[@biggiesmalljaws]

Black and blue works well too

[@mattryan3971]

The xzone craws come that way. No need for biting platics!

[@michaelshoffner6584]

i see that you are fishing muddy water, is there a reason that you are not throwing blk/blu combo other than the crawfish color?

[@BassFishingHQ]

I actually had thrown both that day, as well as straight white. All can work well in the mud. But I also just wanted to see if I could get bit on the red once since it was all the rage

[@biggiesmalljaws]

Red is a big time Spring Pre-spawn bait. Sometimes it is the only thing they’ll eat and other times it doesn’t get a bite. Just another tool honestly.

[@sladenorthernil]

"See that right there?" No sir. Not at all. 😂 But I'm definitely going to try this structure bug...

[@BroadStBully28]

was that mono or fc?

[@_gw33do_]

Is that 3/8 chatterbait or 1/2?

[@catdogc5024]

Now I know why I can’t catch a bass on a chatter bait.. it’s cuz I use my fingers to make the bait a little shorter. I gotta bite to catch the fish lol

[@mikebaker1044]

Do you use braid with it

[@BassFishingHQ]

No I don’t. In heavier grass I still go with 20lb fluorocarbon

[@mikebaker1044]

Thanks

Why didn’t you use the scissors to cut the top off if you were going to use them to make the triangle point much easier

prolly not just in that chocolate milk water

Love your chatter bait videos. I have learned a lot from you. I’m looking for a chatter bait rod. There quite honestly is so much info out there. I plan on throwing mainly 1/2 oz jackhammers and 1/2 oz mini max’s on 15-17# fluoro. I’m so torn between st croix victory 7’2” MH moderate and the victory 7’2” H moderate and the victory 7’2” MH fast moderate (side note I have a mojo bass 7’ MH fast moderate already and it seams parabolic enough, but the tip doesn’t feel as soft as I would like it, but the victory in the matching specs is what I keep coming back to but I don’t want the same rod I already have cuz I don’t think I like it for chatter baits which is what it would mainly be used for. Along with square bills and rapala DT6’s. So if you see this please help I need some guidance. Thank you in advance.

[@RyanSmith-fb8rf]

Jon Hitola, I think I can help you out with this question. I’m not Tyler obviously but I do tournament fish and guide down in Florida. I have used just about every chatter bait rod out there whether it be glass, composite or graphite. I used the 7’1MHf Victory and it was probably my favorite rod for fishing chatter baits in heavy hydrilla. If you aren’t fishing heavy cover go with the 7’2 mh mod fast victory. I went to a composite rod and glass rods but I couldn’t get my baits to clean off fishing heavy cover so I’m back to using the 7’1MHF victory rod and I love it. Hopefully that helps you out some. The Victory line isn’t as stiff as the Mojo bass line and it’s a little slower action compared to the Mojo bass rods. The Victory is more parabolic. It’s a great chatter bait rod if you don’t prefer a composite rod and the guides are conventional sizes if running braid to leader connection knots
