This is how I catch MOST of my bass

If you follow my fishing career.... you know I love the bladed jig. Here are my top 3 brands and the tips and tricks to fish this lure effectively!

I’m glad you mentioned the need for a fast reel to catch up to them when they’re eating it good! I’ve had people look at me like I’m crazy when I’ve mentioned it myself! That high speed reel is also great for those quick single reel cranks near cover.

Great info and you speak the truth about bladed jigs. 2023 was my first year to use the 2 chatter baits I carried in my back pack for 2 years. I found that a white chatter bait with a baby bass colored fluke was deadly in the clear strip pit I fish a lot. 4 and 5 pounders were attracted to it . Thanks for sharing your knowledge !

Great instruction Brent, appreciate all your knowledge and experience sharing.

Brent I have braid line on everything. Haven't had any problems yet but I don't fish tournaments just fun fishing. Last fall ran in to our buddy Ronny .

Great information! Love using them with a spunk shad for smallmouth.

[@gabeerwin4024]

Great video, Brent. You converted me 100%

[@stevecartwright3306]

Great video Brent. My son Devon got me some bladed jigs but I've never tried them out. After watching this I have to try them out. Local Shawnee waters I guess.

[@brentchapmanoutdoors]

@@stevecartwright3306 they are good everywhere! By far my favorite

[@jamesbarron1202]

I agree with you on a MH rod but Brett Hite (the Chatter Master) uses a heavy action parabolic rod.

The Central Pro-Am plaque in the background is straight 🔥

[@brentchapmanoutdoors]

The good old days! It was a great tournament circuit.

[@hooks2bset]

@brentchapmanoutdoors Absolutely! Ernie was the straightest shooting tournament director that you could ask for. Don and Kevin did a great job, as well, after Ernie passed.

Great info boss, thanks 🙏🏽

I like rage bug rage tail and a swammer. I am going to try a spunk shad this year

[@RickWebb-nn6hy]

You mentioned a boot tail swim bait creates too much drag . I agree . I think the skirt creates too much drag as well . A skirt less 3/8 oz will run deeper than a skirted 1/2 oz. It will have a more free swimming action . I cannot think of any creature in the water that has a skirt ? If you want it to run shallow , now you can put that swim bait back on that skirt less chatter bait . Try the boot tail upside down.

As a tournament angler, thanks to FFS, there's coming a day to where the only bait we'll need is a swimbait.

What a great video!

[@613BASS_N]

Great video Brent! - shared to 613BASS'N 😎

[@jamiejuicenewton3349]

why determines the brand you use? Why/when the Jackhammer vs Thunder Cricket?

[@davidcrump2348]

If fished it this is my second year fishing them all the time and only caught 1 bass on them

[@kevinvaughan2570]

I remember you liked flipping a uv beaver style bait

[@rickvann3489]

I remember his Skinny ass fishing the Central Pro-Am, has filled out now

[@brentchapmanoutdoors]

@@rickvann3489 man… I sure miss central pro-am. (And I’ve definitely filled out😂)

[@rickvann3489]

@brentchapmanoutdoors you may or may not remember me I was a Doug Garrett protégé and hung out with John Sappington some and Mike McClelland. I'm thought that was one of the better circuits ever

[@matttitus2998]

Brent - If I may ask... When do you use a Thunder Cricket vs. Jackhammer?

[@Phreddyfoophred]

I absolutely can't catch fish on one, I'll throw and catch fish on a spinnerbait or get skunked with a chatterbait.

[@tonycopeland881]

I catch all my fish in their mouth...Bladed jigs are not all that
