Read it again. Need to watch it once a week. You sold me hook, line and sinker. Thanks Andrew.

[@rickyreynolds9056]

That’s what I appreciate in a video is that guys give up the juice and not hold back the good stuff for their own benefit! 👍 thank you Sir!! 🎣

[@Huntn_fish365]

I love a chatter bait with an upside down swimbait as a trailer! 💯

[@dennishodson990]

Here I am making my own bladed jigs and pulled this You Tube by you on chatterbait hacks. Also building BIG spinnerbaits and finished your other You Tube on Summertime Offshore spinnerbaits. You are the all in one, total package for Tips and Hacks for this constantly advancing sport. Subscribed with notifications and thankful for all you are sharing.

[@johnlong8157]

Absolutely love this video. I’m a huge fan of vibrating jigs. Thank you sir for these hacks. You now have a new subscriber for life 👍👍

[@The_Bass_Stunters]

Absolutely love the Thunder Cricket. I have ran the Evergreen Jackhammer and even the Modo Jackhammer but for some reason the Thunder Cricket has caught more Bass for me bar none.

[@SuperErichuff]

Awesome information !!!!!!

[@ayaazismail8817]

Great videos. Keep them rolling. The skirtless bladed jig hack paired with a Little Dipper; it's like a Scrounger head on steroids!!

[@shawnsutton2648]

Vibrating jig is my favorite thing to throw. I always have one tied on and will definitely try the swim bait tip. Thanks for this video.

[@AndrewUpshawFishing]

Thanks for watching, Shawn!

[@richardblake4777]

Great tips Andrew, I'm 80 years old and still loving and learning new bladed jig tricks. Will be trying rage swimmers this weekend at a big shad reservoir.

[@AndrewUpshawFishing]

So how did it go?

[@richardblake4777]

@@AndrewUpshawFishing Reservoir trip got cancelled but went to a small cypress tree river and caught them on a 3.7 trailer and 3/8 oz chatterbait and a white spinner bait. Love the way the trailer looks in the water and thanks again for the tip.

How is it humanly possible for someone your age to have so much knowledge? It is amazing how much studying and fishing you've done in a short period. Thanks for sharing it. 👍

[@jeffreymurphy5313]

I've never thought about taking the skirt off a vibrating jig. Thanks for the tip. Great video.

[@AndrewUpshawFishing]

It’s little things like taking a skirt off, that can mean the difference between 2 bites and 20 bites.

[@kerryschallon8879]

I really like the Picasso bladed jigs.. Great tips. I'm going to use them next time at L.O.Z...

[@Brizendine7]

I’ve rewatched this video 5 times. JUICE!!!!

[@randypewthers8983]

Love this. Perfect vid.. Zako man here, but...I'll probably never throw a Zako again. Love those mods. Definitely using them in the next Toyota deal on Rayburn the end of April. See you there. Hope to draw you.

[@AndrewUpshawFishing]

I know for a fact they work there! And I won’t be there, I’ll be at Pickwick. Let me know how you do!

[@stephenlatimer1428]

hi Andrew from Australia. i mainly fish for murray cod and barra(barramundi). i make my own chatterbaits all without skirts. i use a 12/0 1oz with a 7" zman diezel paddle tail and a 12/0 1/2oz with a 5" zman diezel paddle tail especially in the spring n summer, all weedless. for winter i take the chatterbait away and use the same zmans, hook size, weights and weedless because now i want the slower silent approach. different parts of the world and completely different fish but same methods can apply.

[@codyfinn7649]

Great video Andrew! Next week I will be looking for that one big giant on Rayburn. Along with about 5000 others. I really enjoy your videos. I need some tips on Toledo Bend. Bro n law owns a camp over there but I struggle badly there.

[@upthecreekyt]

Bro! I've been kicking around putting a rage swimmer on a chatterbait! You just confirmed that it's a killer. Definitely trying it now.

[@AndrewUpshawFishing]

Hope it works for you!

[@98kutch]

Fun video. Never thought about simply swapping skirts.

[@AndrewUpshawFishing]

Thanks for the comment!

[@bryanturner5159]

The last tip I was wondering about because I have used it on spinner baits by removing the skirt and have had great success. Now I know. 👍👍👍

[@linetherapyfishing]

Great tips! I'm definitely going to try some of these!

[@chadcatbird836]

Best video of my favorite bait all my big ones came from the thunder cricket

[@AndrewUpshawFishing]

Thanks man!

[@bobbymason3420]

Nice tip on going skirtless everyone is always looking to skirts for movement and profile so I wouldn’t have thought to go without

[@AndrewUpshawFishing]

They think the same with a swimjig, but honestly it’s way more finesse without

[@bigmikefishingchonicles9950]

thank you for the tips

Didn’t mean to dislike your comment! Lol

[@pattysaylor7825]

great tips as usual ,so cool all you pros showing us how to get the edge out fishing LOVE STRIKE KING TOO keep the great videos coming

[@Reelentlessbassfishing]

Love the tips. . When I'm around shad I like a all white vibrating jig with a white structure bug. I rig it vertically and I trim off as much as I can of the side of the structure bug that is facing up. That way they can get the hook a little better. I also sharpie the blade black abd put black lines in the head. Off colored or dirty water it's a killer

[@WILDBILLSOUTDOORS]

[@AndrewUpshawFishing]

[@jeepslivin]

Ok best "tip" video youve made yet. Althoygh realky like the on water vids. Vibrators are complex. When are they to much, when to use. Does your wife replace you with one, How to fish them (pump, swim, drag,vhow much thump Etc.) Hmmmm?

[@masfishing1]

Andrew, great video, thank you. No hate mail here! For another type of large trailer, I learned from Randy Blanka, a Megabass 5" spark shad. I know you said all over the country these tips work, I'm just wondering here in Northern California with water clearer and I don't think we have gizzard shad, would you tweak any of these tips ?

[@AndrewUpshawFishing]

Don’t be worried about clear water. You just have to fish more windy places. You would be surprised how good big baits work on windy banks.

What is your opinion on blade colors (silver, gold, white, black, etc) ?

I think it absolutely matters. With green pumpkin I will sometimes use gold or black. Other times I will switch. It up. Maybe I should do a video on that🧐
