How to Make a Chatterbait - How to MAKE one of the BEST BASS FISHING LURES of all time!

[@davidscales8614]

Picked up a couple of tips in this video, but I've been doing this for several years. I have a couple of tips for you and others. First I use the VMC long shanked spinnerbait hooks in either a 4/0 or 5/0. Awesome hook ups with them. Second, I have the mold with the same head you are using, but seem to get more bites using the poison tail head mold. I think it gets more "chatter" from better blade to head contact, plus the head has eye sockets. I use the the cheap Prism flat stick on eyes and coat them with Sally Hansen's clear fingernail polish. I've never had an eye come off. Also concerning whether the eye of the insert will bend out....the way you have it in there, it will if you snag it on put pressure on it to pull it loose. If you flip it over to where you bend it "open" from the top, it seems to reduce the chances of that because of the physics of the direction of pull from the snap. Also gripping the eye with a pair of wire snips makes it easier to bend out and back closed.

Thanks for watching and i appreciate the tips. There’s always stuff to learn in the tackle making game

Weedless poison tail? Or the swinging one?

love the content you put out keep up the good work bud

[@MattLunaFishing]

Thank you!

[@kylemolletfishing9123]

Great tip about drilling out the holes in the blade. They run a lot better and start faster and easier when you do that.

[@MattLunaFishing]

For sure! Makes a difference! Makes it easier to get that snap in as well!

[@FishingWithDamon]

That was an awesome vid bud sad season is done here but I get t next year for now I will be watching you and opening up some MTBs on Christmas

[@MattLunaFishing]

Thanks!! Glad you like the video! Trying to do what I can to make good stuff! Bummer on the season being over but maybe you should start making tackle if you don’t! You’ll be able to stock like a bunch of stuff by next season!

[@bryanmasters5423]

Awesome video thanks for sharing!

[@MattLunaFishing]

Thanks for watching!

[@biggybrocosta]

Great video. What size drill bit are you using on the blade?

[@MattLunaFishing]

Glad you liked the video. I don’t remember the exact bit size. It was small, and just slightly bigger than the existing holes in the blade

[@FRENZYTACKLE]

How can I sell them

[@ericnitz2074]

Another good tutorial, thank you. 1. What’s your favorite non spinnerbait hook to use? 2. Does that wire form ever straighten back out while catching fish ?

[@MattLunaFishing]

Thanks for watching! 1. I like a flipping hook in 4/0. I really like the 4/0 owner jungle hook. 2. I haven’t fished them enough to be able to say for certain, but this method isn’t new. Based on the amount of pressure needed to open the eye to fit the blade, i wouldn’t be too worried about it opening up.

[@beavisbrowne3497]

Great tutorial! Music was thumpin too

[@MattLunaFishing]

Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!

Bobby D's is the best I have found I enjoy your video's Matt good luck this year I will cross my fingers for you.

[@MattLunaFishing]

Thanks! Never heard of Bobby d’s! Glad you like the videos! Thanks for watching!

[@Cornuts1000]

You didn’t show how you got the snap on. Why? It’s next to impossible

[@MattLunaFishing]

It’s hard to do and there was no way i can shot how to do it where it would be visible on camera. My hands would cover up the whole process. One thing I’d recommend is slightly drilling out the holes in the blade and it will make it easier.

[@Riley201dc]

How do u service your pot? Do u ever have problems with it clogging or dripping a lot?

[@MattLunaFishing]

I don’t service it at all actually. When it clogs I push something up through the spout to clear it out. Dripping happens to all of them. I also leave mine about 3/4 full all the time and it’s been a big help.

[@MattLunaFishing]

Make sure the plunger screws are tight and also move the plunger back and forth a few times with a flat head screwdriver and it may help a little with the drips

[@Riley201dc]

Are usually don’t keep my pot that full so I might need to try that

[@MattLunaFishing]

I think keeping it pretty full makes a difference.

[@treycoxfishing9583]

Hey bro where do you get your blades from? Thanks

[@MattLunaFishing]

These blades are from Ali Express. Bought them a long time ago. I think that’s they only place to get them in the coffin style. They come from China. Takes about 3 weeks or so if i remember correct

[@treycoxfishing9583]

I saw those but was to scared to buy them from a place that looked sketchy but good to know!

[@MattLunaFishing]

I bought these a long time ago. They aren’t all that expensive

[@86kamehameha]

I was using a chatterbait that I bought on eBay and the eyelid came off Of the head…so I lost the whole chatterbait and trailer. Not sure if it’s user error or maybe there was a flaw in the making of the chatterbait? Never had that happen before.

[@MattLunaFishing]

Was it attached the bait with swivels or like in this video?

[@86kamehameha]

@@MattLunaFishing just like the one in this video.

[@MattLunaFishing]

Did the blade come back with it or just the clip?

[@86kamehameha]

@@MattLunaFishing Yeap just the blade and the swivel that it comes with. Everything else was gone.

[@MattLunaFishing]

The eye either opened up allowing it to come off or the eye wasn’t completely bent down to the head and came off.

[@brockdaigle7091]

Trying to figure out this legal warning. What is proprietary about this?

[@MattLunaFishing]

The way the blade is connected to the hook eye is patented by Z-Man.

[@jasonantonation8787]

what are you doing on the audio on this dude?

[@boskepis]

Cool 👍👍👍

[@shyank_life8744]

Favorite Chatterbait is the Googan Squad Clickbait. Thing is amazing!🤘🏻

[@MattLunaFishing]

Have you tried a jackhammer?

[@shyank_life8744]

I havent. Ive heard awesome things but haven't had the pleasure.

[@MattLunaFishing]

You should give it a shot. It’s the best in my opinion.

[@afishaholic432]

Heavy hitter custom baits vibrating jig has an even harder thump than the jackhammer.

[@MattLunaFishing]

More thump isn’t always what you want. It can be good at times though

[@timwilliams8853]

Ive been doing that same way for years bud

[@MattLunaFishing]

I know it’s nothing new but there’s a lot of people getting into tackle making so i figured why not!

[@biblebeltfishing]

Z-MAN JACKHAMMER AND STIKE KING..

[@biblebeltfishing]

I have every color. I just got my RED 1/2 OZ ONE in.

[@MattLunaFishing]

Hard to beat those! Was the audio in this video okay? Someone was saying it was bad?

[@biblebeltfishing]

@@MattLunaFishing no. It was fine for me sir

[@afishaholic432]

You gotta give the heavy hitter custom baits vibrating jig a try. It’s got an even better thump than the both of them.

[@MattLunaFishing]

Ok great thank you!

[@markgrauel4578]

sound quality is bad

[@MattLunaFishing]

In what way? So i can try and fix it

If he has a patent on these, then he would not be showing how to make them

[@MattLunaFishing]

I don’t have a patent on these. Zman does. You’re not allowed to sell them due to the patent

[@TheRecordalbums]

ill save youtubers, DIY chatterbait, go buy all this crap!

[@MattLunaFishing]

I don’t know what the purpose of the comment is?

[@maddgoatee9708]

Jack Hammer, Jack Hammer Stealth Blade. Works but also breaks on hard hook sets. Received a batch of Z-Man Big Blade

[@MattLunaFishing]

You’ve broken the hook on a chatter bait on a hookset?

[@maddgoatee9708]

@@MattLunaFishing The plastic blade on the Stealth Blade cracked on a few. And one I came back with blade only no jig. I still have the broken blade ones. Thanks to your video I may be able to replace the blades with metal ones. Do you use Stealth Blade? I find they don't vibrate as hard as the hammers.

[@MattLunaFishing]

Got it. That makes more sense. I have used the stealth blades but not a lot. The stealth blades aren’t designed have the same vibration. They are more subtle for when the fish don’t want the amount of vibration from the jackhammer.

[@maddgoatee9708]

@@MattLunaFishing Makes sense for sure. This bait catch a lot of bass.

[@MattLunaFishing]

Yep!
