How And When To Fish A Chatterbait…

[@XenoAarc]

Hey Randy thanks for all these videos, last year I couldn't catch a bass ever, I religiously watch all your videos and I've learned so much. This week on a chatterbait I've caught the 3 biggest bass so far, of 4-5 lbs. Just wanted to give you a shout out on all your wisdom.

One of the best trailers is the Hog Farmer Spunk Shad.

All I use unless I fish my local river then I switch to a black and blue with a craw trailer(usually a googan bandito bug) and I just slow roll it along the bank line and smack them all day.

[@Efishnseetv]

Amen brother! Im so indecisive between the Electric Shad and Sexy Shad color. Whats your pref?

[@josephhillman8831]

I just Started fishing with a chatterbox last spring and I have caught a lot of huge bass on it went today and caught a bass over 6lbs she almost took the rod out of my hands ! Awesome lure

[@thenigga3374]

I got my pb of 7lb 9oz on an orange thunder cricket, the big girls definitely like a chaterbait.

Randy thanks for sharing all your tips with us.

[@TobogganMantisMD]

Chatterbaits are some of the funnest baits to throw year round. I even throw mine in the creeks and smallies seem to LOVE them too. My biggest bass I’ve ever caught have been chatter bait

[@ricknelson4793]

I have one tied on every time I go fishing. Great bait!

[@chrisboyd1408]

Awesome tip. Fantastic lure. Thanks for sharing!

Hey Randy, I watched this video and went out to my local reservoir and within 5 casts I caught my first bass ever on a chatterbait. Thank you for your informative video, I learned alot.

Thx!

The right time to fish a chatterbait is all the time. Every time I think their not eating it . Someone catches them on it. It works almost all year.

[@grant__4741]

Love the video man thanks for some tips. Gotta new subscriber

[@clay7514]

Haven’t even tied one on this year, did catch a 6-15 on a spinnerbait, and several others

[@Bankfishindude]

My PB came on a bladed jig, dragging it across the bottom in some of the muddiest water I’ve ever seen🎣

[@xXSkroogeXx]

great video super clear and extremely helpful thank you!

[@markpaulson1346]

Randy, when using a paddletail as a trailer, do you have to modify the tail or anything so it doesn't mess with the chatterbait blade? Thanks!

[@scottsoucy6186]

I've fished chatterbaits until I'm blue in the face, but so far I've yet to even get a hit on one! Not sure what I'm doing wrong, or maybe my area just isn't well-suited for chatterbaits, but I still catch more fish on a spinnerbait.

[@RidinNReelin]

Same I catch on a swim jig but not a chatter bait

[@Noah_Trabeaux]

I find I get a lot of short strikes from smaller fish. However when I get a solid hit it’s usually a toad.

[@atkronsolo2573]

what speed real you using for chatterbait

[@cadenthepro]

where do use a black/ blue one?

[@theperfectpaintertoolreview]

Northern snakehead here in Maryland absolutely attack chatterbaits from nowhere, it's my go to early summer before the grass takes over. I started making my own cuz I catch them so often on it. I think it pisses them off from the vibration

Another big tournament win for the “dreaded” forward-facing sonar.

[@affiqazmi3599]

Nice video bro! Just a question i want to ask do i need to use a weighted hook for chatterbait?

[@1965JB]

It’s weighted. Usually 3/8 oz and up.

[@joshgrimes9554]

I like them, and they catch me a lot of bass, but I almost quit buying them due to getting hung up so much and losing so darn many...I just can't afford to throw money away.

[@timg185]

There are company’s that make them with weed guards. There’s some that allows you to rig your trailer weedless or if you use a wide trailer like a rage bug . It will come over wood better.

[@secretbassrigs]

I make my own for the same reason. I also use the Do-it Poison Swing Tail Mold for the heads, so I can put an offset EWG on it.

[@secretbassrigs]

The trick is using an open eye underspin insert, meant for their underspin swimbait jugheads, as the line tie. Just put the blade in and close it up. It's a lot stronger than it looks.

The one and only Bryan Thrift was that angler.

[@lannyseals2084]

He's a hammer!

[@smokinbutts2]

He is! I just bought his Ranger!

[@Aqua_Holic_Fishing]

I still prefer the spinnerbait myself.

[@stephenbeth6843]

I throw it every time I go but never catch
