Is the Z-Man Chatterbait DEAD? (Thunder Cricket, Booyah Melee, Shudder Bait, Trickster & More)

Is the Z-Man Chatterbait DEAD? In today's viDEBO I'll discuss a few different Z-Man chatterbaits. I'll compare and contrast those with some of the new vibrating jigs on the market including: the Strike King Thunder Cricket, the Booyah Melee, the Terminator Shudder Bait, and more. Will the Strike King Thunder Cricket will be the new king? Is the new blade design of the Booyah Melee better suited for more applications? TUNE IN AND FIND OUT! Thank you all for watching and supporting my channel!!!
COMMENT BELOW and let me know if you think there is a vibrating jig that will overthrow the Z-Man chatterbait!

[@MidwestBassHunter]

Thanks for the shoutout Debo! Great video also...

[@DEBOSFishing]

Hey! You're welcome man. Thanks for doing some sweet underwater footage!

[@xJAWAx]

I wouldn't mind more "deep dives" into different baits. The history was actually really interesting to me.

[@flapjack622]

i agree, another style video like this would be awesome

[@xJAWAx]

@@flapjack622 never knew that a history of the chatterbait and profile on it's competitors was what i wanted, but it's dope for sure 😁

[@DEBOSFishing]

@@flapjack622 I can make that happen!

[@DEBOSFishing]

Can definitely do more. What are you thinking next?

[@xJAWAx]

@@DEBOSFishing good question. Maybe jigs, there's so many different kinds and they're so situational. I would reckon a lot of people have questions about their uses. Or maybe different kinds of frogs, just because I love frog feeshin.

[@brandonwinter1456]

I think our grandkids will still be throwing Z man chatterbaits.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Agreed! They flat out catch fish!

[@dustinh806]

The z-man used to be my favorite until I found the trickster on sale at Walmart one time for like $2 so I bought several in white, black, and green pumpkin... those quickly became my go too.. the action is awesome and you can throw them anywhere due to the weedless setup! Put some type of crawfish trailer on the black or green pumpkin and work the bottom in heavy cover it’s deadly!

[@elliottdl704]

I appreciate you taking the time to make these videos. I bass fished with my dad as a young kid but primarily just fish with live bait with my kids. Honestly mostly because there's so many different types of artificial baits and I am just not familiar with them. Your videos like this helps me understand how they're used and make me want to give them a try! Thanks Debo!

[@DEBOSFishing]

That's awesome to hear man. That's what it's about, learning and having fun. Thanks for watching!

[@justinbeard4733]

Bought a Jack hammer, threw it around a bit. Lost it on stick almost went swimming for it.

[@DEBOSFishing]

I know man, not easy to lose one. I've been there too!

[@whattheflock8923]

Very informative and detailed video. Good stuff. Great job detailing all the intricacies and nuances between the various types and brands. I want to try them all!!

[@DEBOSFishing]

Thanks man, hope people find it helpful. Thanks for watching 👊

[@chrismcvey908]

Great analysis my friend. Love watching your breakdown viDebos!! 😁🎣

[@thebacklasher8426]

Great video Debo, I like your comparison/lure breakdown videos. Very informative.

[@DEBOSFishing]

I can definitely do more of these! Thanks for watching 👊

[@natesomers5387]

Love the content glad to see the channel growing buddy keep on keeping on buddy!!!

[@DEBOSFishing]

Thanks man, trying to do what I can with what I got👊👊👊

[@anthonylawson7638]

Awesome video love to see videos like this. When u break down almost the same lure but they all different in there on ways. Keep them coming. Tight lines

[@DEBOSFishing]

Can certainly try to man. Thanks a lot for watching 👊

[@yakkensteinfishing]

Great video! Thanks for the run down on these new baits. Love seeing new options. Looking forward to seeing u test them out!

[@DEBOSFishing]

Thanks man, I'm excited to test them all too!

[@saldinkyfishing3790]

You are always giving me ideas on what too use on my next vids debo🔥🔥 love the channel man

[@DEBOSFishing]

Thanks man. Hope my vids can help. Thanks for watching 👊

[@bradbrown6665]

Very honest presentation. I worked at Academy Sports and we had the Z-Mann, Strike King, Booyah Melee, and the rest. I think Z- Mann can match or beat the rest. However, I like the one with the "cup" shaped blade to make it look like it was searching. Now that I am interested in.

[@hannanbryant5489]

I with my brother 98% of the time. He tried one of the rage blades it's was pretty decent until the hook and skirt fell off the blade not to impressed. Great video! Always love watching!

[@DEBOSFishing]

Yikes! That would render the rage blade quite useless 🤣 thanks for watching man 👊

[@kml062779]

On vacation and still get my phone and stay up to watch your videos brotha. Love the comparison 👍

[@DEBOSFishing]

Hahah my man! Dedicated feeshin friend you are 👊👊👊

[@kml062779]

👊

[@richardrebro2691]

I havent had a chance to try it yet but I've heard the rage blade is better around wood and for jigging. Because the weight is on the actual blade, it falls more vertical when it drops making it better for a yoyo type retrieve. Supposedly the blade is also better for deflecting off cover, especially wood. Excited to give it a try.

[@brianhershberger4429]

Really good video and learned a great deal. I went to Midwest Bass site and the underwater video is awesome.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Thanks man! Yeah, it's cool to see what they look like underwater!

[@mikemason4792]

Great review. I've only used the original Zman and it works for me. The swinging head sounds good, I'll be shopping soon.

[@Jeepstang]

Debo, I really enjoyed that video! I love Chatterbaits and have several of them. I have the Terminator too. Threw it a few times the other night with no luck but I’m definitely giving it a few more tries. I want to try some of the other BooYaas and Strike Kings now after watching the video. That last one too with the dresser treble. Looks just crazy enough to work! Awesome video! Keep up the great work and keep the videos coming!

[@DEBOSFishing]

Thanks man, appreciate that. Yeah, definitely excited to try some of those other jigs! Thanks for supporting my viDEBOS 👊

[@PhiTran-lw8er]

Strike King Rage Blade is amazing Debo!! I like it way more than the Z-Man chatterbait. I got better results with the Rage Blade compared to the Z-man. More bites and better hook up ratio for sure!!!! Try it!!!

[@DEBOSFishing]

Really! Wow, I definitely need to toss this thing around!

[@janosczovek8524]

Thank you for excellent video Debo really good advice thanks 👍👍👍

[@DEBOSFishing]

You're welcome and thank you for watching 👊

[@00m1k300]

My favorite lure is a chatter bait! Great video bud...

[@DEBOSFishing]

It's definitely a lure in my rotation! Thanks for watching man 👊

[@scuba6797]

I've tried a few of the ones you have shown but I mostly like Nates Custom Baits. Best buck tail skirts, Great color selections.

[@Nickjackson36]

Awesome stuff Debo 👍 I'm curious to see you throw that pepper custom baits jig. It was one I was looking at, but went with a strike King pure poison for my first chatterbait to try. Keep up the great videos! 👊

[@DEBOSFishing]

Yeah, I'm excited to try some of these out. Thanks for watching man 👊

[@christophercurtis2550]

I have one of those also I think that is pretty sweet too cuz you can feel all the vibrations for me and when it hits detail of Barnum stuff

[@johnhancock517]

I'm still amazed that you don't have more subscribers. I don't think the z-man chatterbait will ever go away. I'm in the same boat about the jack hammer. That's just too much money. Maybe if I had a boat and had a better chance at getting it free if it got hung up, I would consider it. As always another awesome video man! Can't wait to see how the melee works.👊

[@DEBOSFishing]

Thanks man! Yeah, from a boat you've got a very GOOD chance to get most snags out. From the bank....it's a total crap shoot 🤣👊

[@reellifewithcinco7858]

You the man Debo great video, I didnt kno there were so many varieties, I only had the zman

[@DEBOSFishing]

Thanks man. Yeah, some interesting designs on the market!

[@IowaBuckSlayer]

I had no clue that a chatter bait was such a new thing. I still have not used one. My kids have a couple. They’ve had some luck with them but stick to the stuff I grew up throwing. I’ll pick one up and give it try for sure. Thanks Debo!

[@DEBOSFishing]

Yeah, they blew up over the last decade. Give em a try and let me know how you do man!

[@benwood7132]

One year later, just got back into fishing, just got a chartreuse/White z-man original and used it twice. Caught 2 decent catfish, and a 2lb bass my first two times out. Missed a couple fish also. Still alive! Gonna try the blue/black tonight and get one or two of the ones I missed!

[@rainbosprinkles6548]

Love the videos. A channel named marsh man masson did underwater footage and comparison of several different baits. The old standby original holds its own still.

[@johnbaker4847]

As usual, everyone is pushing the "new lure" BUT, only the Feesherman's Friend DEBO takes the time to show, explain and compare the differences. Thanks again for being there for us, GREAT VIDEO! 😃😊😎

[@DEBOSFishing]

The thanks all goes to awesome folks like you who support my channel. Otherwise...I'm just another dude talking to a camera 🤣👊

[@thenkes22]

So informative brother love watching your videos

[@DEBOSFishing]

Appreciate that man. Thanks for watching 👊

[@mikejohnston80]

Great video Debo. I haven't got my hands on the thunder crickets yet. Andrew Upshaw calls them thunder chickens best Nick name yet.

[@RizKrispin]

Thanks! Great breakdown and comparison. Never seen or heard of the Trickster or that other one before... have you ever tried the Lunkerhunt Kraken or Bully Blade? They also have a free-swinging head w/ blade fixed to the weight, so kinda like combining a couple of the ones you showed here.

[@Sum1Fishy]

I use to fish the Rage Blade with just the jig back retrieve(fall, pull it up, fall, pull it up...) and it did great and had a great hook up ratio. After using the Lunkerhunt Kraken Bait Blade, I was sold on its action without a trailer on it! It has a zig-zag side to side sweep that looks so good. I've used it with a trailer(Zman Razor Shadz) and caught fish but the sweeping action is highly impeded. The Lunkerhunt works best with no trailer on a steady retrieve. Only thing is, it sometimes takes a quick jerk to get it thumping. The Rage Blade seems to thump instantly. They both work better than a lipless crank using the ripping grass technique. If I'm ripping grass, it's got to be a bladed jig- no more gunked up lipless trebles.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Nice! I've not tried that with the rage blade. I haven't tried the Kraken out at all. I'm with ya! Chatterbait around grass instead of treble hooks!

[@mattthomen1608]

I fish the jackhammer from a boat, classic from the bank. And the strike king rage blade is designed to be good through wood, the short shank hook,and the 1 trailer on it is all u need.i also got the trickster to try out in wood and grass. You did well with it, so I got a black one 🎣💥👍

[@pastofino6375]

Great video. The rage blade is designed for bumping off the bottom

[@DEBOSFishing]

Ahhh interesting, I'll have to try that this fall!

[@FishermanJoel]

Great video Debo! I’ve used most of the lures you’ve talked about. I will say the melee jig has worked great for me to come through wood and brush type cover but when it comes to ripping it through vegetation forget it. Any z-man chatterbait will do that type of job much better. The thunder cricket hasn’t impressed me. I see it as almost a finesse style jackhammer since the blade has the sides cut out and it doesn’t thump as hard. You’ve probably heard it a million times but honestly try out the jackhammer. I 100% agree with you that chatterbaits are the #1 lure I lose the most so I never throw a jackhammer from the shore but only when I’m out in the kayak so that I can retrieve it. I keep 3-4 different colors with me and if I lose one I replace it as needed. I too could not see spending $16 on a chatterbait but I was so impressed with the jackhammer that I bought 3 more. I really think you should test it. I’ve gone head to head with my dad many times throwing an original cb and he would out fish me 3-1 on the jackhammer. (Pick up the b hite delight color)

[@DEBOSFishing]

Interesting man! I scratch my head to figure out how it could be that much better. However, I've heard it from a lot of folks. I'll start looking for some sales!

[@fishingwithgoby1998]

I enjoy the shutter blade. Might try a few of these.

[@archiemorris5235]

The rage blade comes through rocks pretty good.

[@1ts3asy]

Can't wait to see this next video!!

[@DEBOSFishing]

Thanks man, appreciate you watching 👊

[@christophersawczyk]

Awesome job, more videos like these please!

[@DEBOSFishing]

I can definitely do some more like this. Thanks for watching 👊👊👊

[@timperry6095]

They all have different sounds and actions, so they all have their uses. It’s not like I’m not getting sponsored by a certain brand either, so I’ll try them all out eventually. Thanks for another great video, feeshin’ friend!

[@DEBOSFishing]

Yep, agreed. I'll try anything out there and use/support what works. Thanks for watching man 👊

[@SargesAdventures]

New sub from Missouri... good info !!

[@DEBOSFishing]

Thanks for becoming a #verifiedfeeshinfriend neighbor!👊

[@lannyseals2084]

The rage blade is becoming my favorite smallmouth around me love! Great action when you it off the bottom it falls straight back down and it comes through cover extremely well pretty much like a squarebill it's awesome and best trailer I found that works best for me is the rage menace

[@georgebramblett6078]

I just started throwing a chatterbait last year i always have one tied on now great video

[@DEBOSFishing]

Yessir, they are great search baits. Thanks for watching 👊

[@BeardsAndBowsOutdoors]

I have a rage blade... On a stump in the middle of a pond haha 😂👊 It does catch fish though!

[@DEBOSFishing]

Hahaha I've decorated a lot of underwater Christmas trees with chatterbaits 🤣👊

[@bassnazi4713]

There is one with a hinged head MegaStrike is coming out with fairly soon, too. Works really good.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Ohhh! Never heard of such a lure. I'll keep my eyes peeled! Thanks brother 👊

[@rustyshacklfur4705]

Like there spinnerbait?

[@PeterCPRail8748]

Nice comparison on these. Lunkerhead makes a nice version as well.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Really? I haven't heard of theirs. I'll keep an eye out. Thanks for watching!

[@willperryman4559]

Great review, and I have used all of the Z-Man, and found Jackhammers on eBay for $13. I haven’t used the Shudderblade,but, I have such great results with Jackhammer and Picasso’s Shockblade $10. New to your channel and I have subscribed 👍👍🍀🎣🍀

nother good breakdown man,had no idea there was that many

[@DEBOSFishing]

Thanks man. Yeah, few different kinds out there. Always appreciate you supporting man👊

[@randybowles7428]

Yeah I've used to rageblade the exact same one that you had in your hand and multiple fish on them and that trailer Works killer

[@gsloat2424]

@debo'sFishing I love that Rage Blade! for the price its killer! never had a fish come off i didnt even have to swing to hookset, rage craws work amazing on it as well, i caught all my bass using the black n blue rage blade paired with a black and blue rage blade! I just changed it to a Big Bite Baits trailer with more flake, and hematoma blue

[@LTOutdoors]

I think they all still work well & they catch fish and thats what matters most! im testing a newer style vibrating jig that i have been working on hopefully have i tout soon for fall season. great video dude!!

[@DEBOSFishing]

Yeah, the vibrating jig is a fang fish catcher. Ohhhh! I'm excited to see that!

[@carolinaclunkers8809]

Great review 👍 on bladed baits. I love the new thunder cricket. And the trickster is sweet also... (Keeponfishin) brotha.

Nice video Debo! No the chatterbait isn't dead! The jackhammer rules! Give it a try, it's worth the money!

[@DEBOSFishing]

Tons of tournaments have been won on the jackhammer this year! I'll look for a sale!

[@Ranger374_]

@@DEBOSFishing Yeah let us know if you find a good sale! Lol

[@subsailor1445]

I watched the video up to the part where you pulled the skirt off and I had to stop to type this. When I started reading and researching spinnerbaits, I had bought a lot of $1 Walmart spinnerbaits. After getting a few more, different kinds and colors, it was quite a challenge to get a little box to carry around a huge amount if you don't have a clue that day, fishing from the bank. Still, fishing from the kayak, which has a lot more area for tackle. Fast forward.... decided to go with War Eagle brand. 3 gold, 3 silver, 5/16 finesse. All single blades, 1 Colorado, 1 Willow, 1 Shellback??, in gold & silver . Now they make 28 different color skirts. Those skirts weigh a lot less if you are pond hunting. I'd look into the different skirts and colors that you could get to use. Just my 2 coins there "Feeshin Friend " Cast far and bust the lip on those dinks.

[@DEBOSFishing]

That's a very good tip. I'll being this up in a vid soon to come where packing light is KEY! Thanks for watching man 👊

[@JeffGeraldFishing]

Great video Debo, crazy how that all started out of a mans garage.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Such a crazy way to start. I thought Z-Man invented them. Cool to see the humble beginning of the chatter. Thanks for watching 👊

[@EddieLindsay681]

Before I even watch the video the answer is no sir it’s not dead. Now looking forward to the vid 👍🏼😂

[@DEBOSFishing]

Hahaha indeed! It's a killer bait and definitely not dead!

[@gregriba6896]

I use a rage blade alot.... it catches a ton of fish..... love it.

[@smithvegasbassassassin9406]

I don’t think anyone will dethrone Z-Man as the king of the chatterbaits, but the one from Strike King (using Z-Man’s patent) did kinda catch my eye! Seems like it’s just a beefed up Z-Man but still nice! Once again, thanks for the break down and advice my man, awesome video! Definitely can’t wait for the next video brotha! 🐟🎣

[@DEBOSFishing]

Yeah, the cricket looks nice. I'm interested to see how that one will do! Thanks for watching and supporting my man👊

[@ThePerfectComboFishing]

We hope it's not dead yet. We bought one a couple of years back and boom...irrevocably snagged on the first cast. Haven't made the move to grab a new one. We are eager to try out the Trickster. Thanks for the video. 👊🏻

[@DEBOSFishing]

Yeah, I'm very skilled at losing chatterbaits myself 🤣 Thanks for watching 👊

[@bloodhound122]

I like my project z custom but that terminator looks interesting and the booya caught my eye as well

[@DEBOSFishing]

Yeah, the project z has been great to me this year. Thanks for watching man 👊

[@TheOlman35]

I hit a major dry spell, purchased 1 on Black Friday sale from T/W in white and this thunder cricket is now my main lure I use.. I never caught anything on the zman freedom. Solid bait

[@livinglifeoutdoorstv6550]

Each of the different styles would put off a different vibration. The market is large enough to handle the competition. I’m liking the detachable hook versions. Gives the bait versatility.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Yeah, the chatter is going to be my #1 for some time. Interesting to see what some of these others will do.

[@0017Bulldog]

Sorry that it took me 4 months to find this vid, but it was a keeper. I culled out the last chatterbait vid as this one weighed in heavier for sure.

[@mad_bass_assassin537]

I use the chatter bait and rage blade all the time both work great!

Nice! I'm excited to toss the rage blade.

[@christophercurtis2550]

Yes that one you just talked about to us to me it does work I love those

[@luckyx16]

Until the other newer chatterbait manufacturers can get their prices more competitive with Z-Man, the original chatterbait will reign supreme. Thanks for another great video! Thanks for admitting you lose a ton of chatterbaits too! I know I do!

[@alvinwine5665]

I got the regular chatter bait black n blue I'm using and I like it I'll try some of those others nice colors on them

[@FleetwoodXX]

After trying a handful of different types I really agree with Matt Allen from Tacticalbassin. The baits with a split ring connection have hesitation before they vibrate, some times to the point you have to give it a good pull before they start vibrating. I have learned to stay away from them for anything other than a straight retrieve.

[@DEBOSFishing]

I just recently talked to a buddy about that. I've never used any with the split ring but he had the same issue. Don't companies test that before they send them to market?

[@Twangtown7]

Don't forget the Picasso Aaron Martens Shock Blade. Great bladed jig.

[@LeatherNeck1833]

I loose chatters hand over fist in the ponds that I fish so there is no way I'm dumping $18 on the Jack Hammer. I love the look of the swinging hook versions with the screw keeper on them. I'll sacrifice a little less hook-up ratio over being able to hang on to the lure for more than one trip. I'll definitely be looking into those Pepper Custom. Thanks again, brother!

[@DEBOSFishing]

Yeah, I've decorated a number of underwater trees with my chatterbaits 🤣 The trickster has been good and weedless too!

[@cecilmoreno9736]

[@renecalvillo859]

Nice vid D, do you use these chatters only during certain time of year..

[@DEBOSFishing]

Spring through fall they seem to work. Once it gets colder I'll move to something a little more subtle. Thanks for watching man 👊

[@melvinwhitten1760]

why did you leave out the shock blade pro from Picass

[@atomix126]

i use the rageblade and chatterbaits. theyre both great. although i will say that vibrating response you feel in the rod bringing it in is a little more extreme with the rageblade and might mask a bite. i usually run them with a swim trailer and a trailer hook. the action is bananas. one other thing ive niticed with them is if you need to do a quick retrieve the way the blade angles at full speed brings it to the top of the water and it planes the surface. so if you time it right at a spot you know you can actually have it jump over pesky hang up spots.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Nice! I'm definitely interested to test the rage blade out. Thanks for that feedback man!

[@kerryparks1979]

I saw that article too. I was buying them at $10 each back in 2004.

[@mikefurness1598]

Love my project Z chatterbaits but I have been trying the Thunder Cricket lately and it's impressive. If I had to compare the two and I think there's a very slight Edge to the Thunder Cricket but time will tell. It might just have been the body of water is on. I need to try it on more bodies of water.

[@ericdelfosse6089]

I used that pepper custom vibrating jig. I added the the treble hook as a stinger then made my trailer weedless worked awesome. Just an idea I'm not really sure how the treble is used.

[@johnwayne3491]

It's the year 3025 and a kid is slamming bass with his robot friend.... they're both throwing z man chatter baits.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Hahahahah well played sir! Skynet will have their own vibrating jig by that time🤣

[@ziggylarkdust]

The Rage Blade is highly recommended when fishing around wood. The chatterbait is always gonna get hung but the rage blade tends to roll over sticks much easier. In grass i'd trow a regular chatter bait though.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Nice! I've heard a few folks say it does well around wood! Thanks for the feedback man!

[@camn8502]

Sadly I dont have one yet but I never thought walmart had these so I'm gonna hit up walmart and start buying

[@DEBOSFishing]

Yeah, they have some good deals!

[@humblelifeoutdoors4299]

As much as I love Z man products, I don’t discriminate when It comes to fishing lures. I’ve seen guys throw the craziest baits and have epic days on the water. Honestly, I’d throw a shoe if it’ll catch me a fish lol. Another great video Debo! 🙌🏽🎣💪🏽💯🍻🍻

[@DEBOSFishing]

AGREED 100% That's why I laugh when people knock the ned rig. Its dumb, it's cheap, etc. I'm like you, I'd throw a jar of miracle whip if it caught big fish 🤣

[@ohio_tuner_garage]

I've traded the Chatterbait in for the Omega Custom Tackle Rapture vibrating jig.

[@DEBOSFishing]

I haven't heard of that. I'll check it out!

[@Outwestwithchris1]

Any thoughts on the Headbanger, kind of a hybrid between a chatterbait/Crankbait/swimbait. I also think the Zman stuff is going to be around for a long time to come.

[@DEBOSFishing]

I've seen those and they look cool. Erratic fleeing baitfish look. I saw they have a huge version for muskie too! I agree, Z-Man isn't going anywhere! Thanks for watching, Chris!

[@anthonyreeder8283]

I just use the regular Chatterbait. I’m going to try to get a few more in different companies. I have some Picasso’s shockwave coming this week.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Let me know how you like them I have not used any picasso lures yet.

[@justinholloway1005]

I've had some luck with the rage blade blk and blue sadly I've lost both of mine in our local lake.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Dang! The fish gods giveth and the fish gods taketh 🤣

[@jefferystovall9617]

I have the Rage blade and the trick stir. Rage is good. Trick stir I had a problem with plastic bill coming off.

[@tompeavy8254]

Did you ever get around to trying the Rage Blade? I am mixed on it. It catches fish. I've found it comes through grass a lot better than Z-man. That weighted head also helps it roll over hard cover better. However...I have had problems with the swinging blade binding up on the connection, resulting in too many wasted casts. I use them still in super thick grass, but Z-man always in lighter cover and open water

[@danielortiz9927]

debo the rage blade is a slayer man!! but nothin beats the zman chatter bro.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Yeah, the chatter seems fsng hard to beat. Thanks for watching 👊

[@markthibault560]

Great video thanks I have a reason to buy more baits and try them out Unless you wanna send me a few lol... really ejoyed the video and info keep them coming Debo thank you

[@DEBOSFishing]

I was hoping to do some giveaway type stuff soon! Stay tuned man!

[@logananderson3845]

The Queen tackle switchblade is another new unique blade design as well!

[@spencerzumwalt8957]

I use rage blades around rocks and boulders or bumping it off a hard bottom. It deflects off hard cover better than the original style but the original chatterbait style comes through grass better. I've caught some decent fish with both styles.

[@DEBOSFishing]

That's what I've heard from the majority of folks. Excited to see how the rage blade does!

[@fishingwithvin]

I use the chatter, the shuttering and the rage blade but the rage blade gives the most erratic bait action of them all. My buddy has an incredible bass pond chalk full of bass and many 4lbs + but out of all of them the rage blade and the chatter put the hurt on the big boys out there!!!
