3 MUST have CHATTERBAIT trailers fishing for BASS

[@TackleJunky81]

Always a 👍👍👍 One of my go to trailers is a little finesse worm.

[@mikeybalzz]

that's a good idea - like a stick bait or a standard finesse worm?

[@TackleJunky81]

mikeybalzz fishing Nah, not like a senko...its to thick and doesn't dance like a tapered finesse worm. My go to is the 4.5 plasma tail. Its $$$ brother!

[@robbiehampton6450]

Micky!! I did what you said, Gambler EZ swimmer upside down, 3 pounder hammered it! Great vid!!!!

[@mikeybalzz]

Hell yeah!!!

[@lannyseals2084]

The small little shout out about zip ties changed my life,it fixed a lot of broken stuff..lol I am with you on the fluke on trailing bladed jig's, that's pretty much all I use on them with an occasional double tail grub here and there.. awesome stuff man, keep up the good work

[@sonnygreen9698]

The chatter bait is one of those weird baits that can make an inactive fish become active, even the right kind of worms on those things can be a killer presentation, thanks for the input !!!

[@mikeybalzz]

that's so true!

[@randallford8199]

Always learn from you. Thanks

[@BillJacksonDesign]

[@mikeybalzz]

[@thegreybeardpiper]

Mike, I'm new to bladed jigs and new to your channel. Thanks for all the great info. On my way to academy this morning to pick up some trailers for my new jigs to try them this weekend here in Texas. Thanks again and you keep making the videos and I'll keep watching...

[@kerryparks1979]

Thanks for keeping it real!

[@xDx0xUxGx]

My 2 favorite trailers are 4-5" single tail grubs and a Rage Menace rigged with the flaps vertical instead of horizontal.

[@fishingismydrug1]

Straight to it, and staying on topic, I love it !

[@thetruthpal]

I like the zman trailer for the chatter bait. Impossible to pull off and tear up almost. But it doesn't live to long in the tackle box

[@VizsK]

You're supposed to store Z-man plastics separate because they react with regular plastics and get deformed

[@johnnyconnerjr5919]

Thanks for the advice cant wait to try it. Your neko rig tips made me a huge believer. Bitters 7inch salty sling in toho gold smoked them on kissimmee this year in april. Thanks for the vids bid keep it up!

[@PigPatrolTV]

Awesome info Mikey 👍🏻

[@douglas8213]

Yamamoto Zako on a Jackhammer, tail gets the right amount of kick.

[@mckmh07167]

I just started using a swim bait on my chatter bait. Awesome video.

[@terryreed7996]

Congrats on the 70k Great info sir!!

[@mikeybalzz]

Thanks Terry!

[@mattford9048]

Long time sub. Your videos and content has always been OG bro your channel is the best. Also have never ever caught a single fish on a chatterbait and have bought the quality one and tried multiple trailers. I just keep it old school with the classic spinner bait it always catches fish

[@mikeg5523]

Keep up the great vid’s Mikey! Great chatter bait tips.

[@Hogbellylife]

Thanks man I just got some flukes and a chatter bait today and thought they would work good together

[@janosczovek8524]

Really good video really enjoyed it thanks for your advice I ordered some gambler swim baits 😀👍

[@my71chevro1et]

I know that you're a Gambler guy, but have a look at the M-Pack Shad... it's a jointed body fluke type bait that's killer as a bladed jig trailer.

[@johntavanofishing4936]

I agree 100% Mikey, your info is great 🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟

[@brnowak_fishing]

The OG of KZbin googan-ery fish hammering! And drops the solid bass techniques. My dude

[@mikeybalzz]

gotta compete with you young guns somehow

[@KeifersReelPlanetBass]

And I was just contemplating on throwing my chatterbaits out... Think I just might have to hang on to them a little bit longer and find some bass in the grass!👍😁🍺awesome vid brother!

[@mikeybalzz]

don't do it, hold onto them and toss them when you start catching fish on a trap bust them out you won't be dissapointed.

[@bassfishingnyc9983]

Real OG in the game catching 10 pounder on rage shad damn legend !!

[@mikeybalzz]

Do that was probably one of the best topwater bites I've ever had!

[@rontorrisi4529]

Great info mikey!

[@davidshellhaas1730]

great vid Mike--Thanks!!

[@jpbarnes1]

4.8" Keitech upside down = money Skirtless also is a killer

[@BassQuest]

Awesome video man, hopefully we can stroke a few with the ol chatter

[@richshackelford5793]

Great video Mikey

[@mikeybalzz]

thanks man!

[@Grogers70426]

We have a ton of ponds and lakes that has so much grass that it's unreal. Do you think a plasma tail from Biospawn would work on a chatterbait? I put a Biospawn vilecraw on my chatterbait and it caught me a 5¾ but Texas rigged exostick in Okeechobee Craw caught me my PB...6.2 lbs. Love using a chatterbait and anything from Biospawn.

[@ComeOnPelican91]

I've put a trick worm on and caught bass.

[@brandontaylor5324]

First like first comment hellz yeah! Chatterbait is a huge confidence bait for me

[@RealisticFishing]

I have yet to catch a bass on a chatterbait. Lets see if this helps...

[@MisterTwister88]

Realistic Fishing All I’ve caught are pike and pickerel, zero bass.

[@Dreadnought9411]

I lucked out...the first time i used a chatterbait I caught several nice smallmouths...that gave me alot of confidence in this bait...and its continues to be one of my most productive baits...just keep throwing them, good luck ! 👍

[@livinroomlongshanks]

That's cause you don't use them enough.

[@MisterTwister88]

livinroomlongshanks Yeah, because you know how much I’ve used them. 🤦‍♂️

[@livinroomlongshanks]

You don't use them enough.

[@richardcline1040]

i caught a nine lber last wk with three and a half grass pig

[@WaterWarriorFishing]

OG.

[@DinsmoreOutdoors]

Liked, and trust me all the guys in my bass club know who mikeyballz is haha great video man!

[@mikeybalzz]

thanks bud!

[@kentmiller5764]

Try a BioSpawn finesse worm as a trailer. I tear them up with that little worm as a chatterbait trailer.

[@smashinthatbass]

You have a great personality man for that got a sub great video 👍👍👍👊👊👊

[@mikeybalzz]

thanks bud!

[@TheFlyingJerzey]

New suppoter here. Nice vid.

[@jonhiitola2418]

So I am going to try a chatter bait this season for the first time. I am using a swim bait for the trailer, but it is the yum pulse. They have fins on the side of the bait to guide the bait down naturally. If I rig that upside down will the whole rig rise in the water? Water is frozen were I live or I would just go out and try. Thanks Jon

[@mikeybalzz]

no idea man. only thing i would note is the reason i run the ez is the tail is at 90 degrees. alot of those other swimbaits have it at a slight angle on the tail and don't kick when you flip them over. that's the only think i'd look out for.

[@kyleowens119]

Okeechobee boyzzzz

[@BassGeek]

I wish I had some grass......... in the my lakes so I could fish a chatter bait more. lol

[@unicornsteaks6769]

They'll still bite in rocky places or around docks or laydowns. Try to bounce them off structure and hard cover. But, yeah, they work great right on top of grass and they're way more weedless than you'd think.

[@dondasher58]

Thought I was subscribed!!?? I wasn’t! Sorry man but thanks for the reminder and thanks for your hard work and awesome content👍🏻👍🏻

[@mikeybalzz]

thanks for supporting #realfishing man!!!!

[@RichFrollini]

Good call on flipping the paddle tail upside down. I’ve been doing that for a couple years now. Definitely keeps the bait down in the water better. A more subtle trailer that I use is a 3.5” Freeminnow by 412 Bait Co. You can get them in the standard (buoyant) formula, or the TS (tournament/salty = slow sinking) formula. www.fishingonline.com/products/412-bait-company-free-minnow My favorite trailer for just about any bait

[@ralphgarbiras5450]

What pound braid you use Mike?? And what brand??

[@mikeybalzz]

40-50# power pro

[@gamerangler1012]

YEEEWWW!

[@gamerangler1012]

yeeea man! Flukes slaay em!

[@gamerangler1012]

also, is that a livingston top water i see right there!?

[@gamerangler1012]

Whats some of your favorite chatterbaits? like, brand?

[@bevo7729]

You can’t get gambler up here in Chicago

[@mikeybalzz]

That's why I love Tackle warehouse 😁

[@michaellupton7260]

I cant seem to catch a chatterbait or spinnerbait fish

[@mikeybalzz]

try picking it up when you're catching fish on a trap or a squarebill. it's usually a good opportunity to interchange and try it out.

[@williamhbonnie5514]

A couple of tips if you are interested. I fish a lake that is loaded with grass and the bladed jig is by far my favorite bait. I fish two different baits. The main one is a 3/8oz pure poison white/chartreuse with white little dipper trailer. I dont think color matters too much because ive caught a lot on bluegill type color patterns too. Many fish these baits kind of fast but i fish them just fast enough to keep the blade moving. Seems to work better for me. The second bait is a strike king rage blade. Looks and fishes a little different. Same colors and trailers but it fishes much slower to keep it high in the water column. If im fishing 1-4ft of water with grass in it then ill fish this bait. The same speed i fish the poison will bring this bait to the surface. Much better in shallow grass. 15 lbs flourocarbon unless im in timber where i go to 20lbs. Hope it works for you if you use it. Good luck and good fishin.

[@steve4321able]

Reaction Innovations Skinny Dipper?? Any thoughts?

[@mikeybalzz]

solid pick. personally thoughi prefer the ez swimmer - it's just a hair bigger and gives teh bait a little more bulk and casting distance.

[@williamhbonnie5514]

I fish a predominantly grass lake and the vibrating jig is my overwhelming bait of choice. My favorite rig is a 3/8 oz pure poison with a little dipper trailer. Ive used the skinny dipper but didnt seem to get bit near as much. Havent caught monster bass but i catch a lot of 4-7 ibs fish. Favorite color is white/chartreuse with a gold blade white trailer but i catch them on about any shad or bluegill pattern. Just something to consider.

[@cwatson42785]

I don't think you have enough Rods.....

[@williamwilson3785]

Forget the words “dude” and “friggin” and you would have better video. Jus sayin.

[@mikeybalzz]

dude i hear ya but i make these vids for myself so i always want to do them how i want and keep it #realfishing
