The Top 4 CHATTERBAITS Every Pro Angler Swears By Come TOURNAMENT Time

[@Liz_Zervos]

I’m partial to the Thunder Cricket for its subtle blade vibration. Really produces for me. I use it alongside the Jackhammer and Mini-Max. Complements them nicely.

[@kevinbeaudean704]

Thanx Mike. My sentiments exactly. Love the mini max around spawn and post spawn. The jackhammer is wearing out its welcome by post spawn because of pressure. Have also had great days on the Picasso.

[@youremomsvilleplayzmc9528]

Nice explanation of the differences. Appreciate the training session. Good luck this year! Caliman out! ✌🏼

[@mikesawyer6742]

Thanks Mikey. Good info for chatter bait fishing. I really like the mini and the gold big blade for shallow and light cover.

[@crazyhonky7800]

I’m in Florida last Sunday couldn’t get a bass to look at my chatterbait but between me and pops caught 18 bass on junebug senkos

[@macdavis757]

June bug and grape flake is a must in Florida if wanna stay catching fish also keep an old school 3 inch rapala

[@TurdFerguson1000]

Couldn’t agree more. Those four baits are the exact four I carry

[@lipsnatcher7483]

You left out the Cross Eyez Chatterbait, that's a sleeper around wood or rock because of that wire guard and that hook on it is fireee

[@FreedomFishing]

Dude I absolutely love the stealth blade. Paired with a phantom type color, it gets hammered. I used it when I wanted it to look more natural in clear water.

[@crowe1974]

All the one's u said are killer. The cross eyes chatterbait is badass to. Starts right away on retrieve I've had a lot of luck with the cross eyes. Tight lines bro

[@mattthomen1608]

I use the willow vibe, for a different chatterbait, just got the minimax,and I make some w queen tackle,and basstek tungsten arkie style jig head w a weed guard.and always a jackhammer zaco setup,or spunkshad,or a fluke for the trailer.comodos for over wood cover to keep it from rolling on its side, and Roland martin chatter toad, add a ridbit and hold on in those pads!.

[@PaytonHatfield86]

I found a pile of stealth blades at Academy a week or two ago on clearance for $5. Felt pretty happy about that score

[@basssolutionsoutdoors3856]

Look forward to your videos every time! Awesome job Mikey!

[@ronfeltonfishing]

I live by the Jack hammer, EVO and mini max..

[@johnhenderson3632]

Mike hit my new PB with a chatter bait on Lake Garcia today. 8 lb 5oz. Running it through hydrilla

[@stephanelavoie2258]

For me in Quebec , it’s always the Mini Max on one rod and a smaller Jackall lipless on another rod …. My one two punch 🤛 💪🏻😀😎

[@garymueller6488]

Hey Mikey, what trailer do you use on the mini max? DIG the info brother, thanks.

[@brianprice7645]

I use that big blade for the same reason you do and also use a swimbait instead of one of the chatter bait trailers for the same reason

[@kenmccarthyfishing]

🔥🔥 absolutely awesome Mikey,perfect breakdown ❤

[@mikeybalzz]

Appreciate that bud

[@peterhing3608]

Great video Mike! Can't wait for Bass Season to open up here in Ontario, Canada which in my region is the 3rd week of June. Season is short but oh so sweet and the Mini Max Chatterbait is THE DEAL! Last June on the opening weekend I crushed the smallies at one of my favourite lakes. So true how the 3/8 ounce really stays down so nicely so you can keep it in the strike zone in shallow water around 3 to 5 feet without an issue. One other that I really like and use a lot besides the Jack Hammer is the CFL Football Chatterbait. Hopefully I can find a sale on the Stealthblade but last season a "Pro" walked into one of the big outdoor stores and cleaned out all 40 stealth blades when they put "No Tax" day. HAHA

[@mikeybalzz]

Damn that's a long time to wait I'm with you too I think my favorite out of those is definitely the mini it's so versatile and it's still kind of a sneaky deal

[@jdean1851]

HOT TIPS! THANX" BE LIKE MIKEY!!!! 20f in Idaho / Lake frozen

[@johnhopkins947]

Great content as usual!!!

[@jimwarden9617]

If you’re a tackle hoarder like me you got ‘em all plus some! Hey Bog!

[@shawntitsworth4878]

Mikey thoughts on the bladed jigs I sent you? Have you fished them any?

[@rayvillarreal1225]

Have you tried the Bounty Hunter Turbo Minnow by Derek Herring. I have fished it for years . That is all I will throw more action and vibration

[@rogerglasco5941]

Great video as always. Where is Bogg?

[@warrencountybassnj9459]

Hi brother, love your vids. Question what is that storage pouch you are using for the chatterbaits? Thank you.

[@mikeybalzz]

It's a bass Mafia bud bag got a code to save 10% if u want it mikeysmafia

[@zachg5356]

I love the evo.

[@shawnwheeler4633]

Question: Has anyone had an issue with the mini max blade separating from the chatterbait head? I've had three mini maxs come apart on fish and two during the cast.

[@rickhensley2251]

Wondering if you have ever tried modifying the bend in the blade.

[@kerryschallon8879]

Has anyone used the Picasso bladed baits? Wondering how they are.

[@jgrigg2236]

What tubing are you using for hook barbs?

[@fysh1945]

They with that red tube on them in the package.

[@scottcozart8950]

I'm trying to find the 1 /16 chatter. I heard they discontinued them. I want for crappie fishing and trout

[@Mr.Higgs.]

Honestly in my experience, the 1/2oz mini max fishes at the same depth as the 3/8 jackhammer. Such a small bait it doesn't catch as much water in creating resistance. Mini max you will need to go 1 size bigger than a jackhammer to keep the same depth.

[@joebee1459]

Use all 4!!

[@johndynneson662]

The sound frequency under the water. Is lower. Is why. Read the science. In Fisherman. Has an article on that.

[@astrophysicistguy]

This is all good stuff as usual but come on, where is Bogg?🐤🐕‍🦺

[@Fishboy68]

Just thinking Mikey ,if a bass hits a jackhammer as soon as that reel handle is turned and that blade starts immediatly thumping.You probally could have caught that aggressive fish throwing a baby shoe. I will stick with the original c.b.

[@adamsnelson4689]

For the algorithm

[@areddfishing7473]

Listen it’s called a “Chatterwagon” because you loading the boat like loading the kids in the wagon!

[@crazyhonky7800]

And where is bogs

[@mikeybalzz]

Chilling in the AC LOL

[@crazyhonky7800]

@@mikeybalzz lol I figured when you said you where in Florida

[@ZZ430T56]

The ridiculous price of the Jackhammer just turns me off. And barely, if any noticable improvements over the original for the average fisherman.
