Chatterbait and Swim Jig Tricks You Actually Need To Know!!

[@catch1390]

Just landed my PB Largemouth the other day on a Z-Man Jackhammer! It was 26” in length, 18” in girth, and weighed 10 pounds 2 ounces!

[@danham3344]

Congrats on your double digit PB! 👍🏼💪🏼

[@thereelaccountant9246]

Congrats brotha. Chatterbaits are legit. My first fish ever on one was a 5

[@guad512]

I’m guessing my 5 biggest fish have come on Jackhammers in February and March? Amazing bait!

[@alexnicholas3148]

What a hog, not a bass like that where i live

[@charlespoling3331]

One of the biggest advantages to the chatterbait that nobody ever mentions is the feedback you get from the vibration of the bait. The vibration makes the chatterbait really easy for new or inexperienced anglers to feel lite push bites and weeds witch will help them understand what the bait is doing at all times.

[@frankh2213]

That's an awesome point!

[@mikesmith31]

I tried a chatter bait yesterday for the first time finally, and I was amazed at the feedback. I went back and fourth between the chatter and a swim bait I had tied on another rod and found myself feeling lost with the lack of feedback. I think I found a new go too.

[@Jefestephens]

Same with a big oak blade spinner bait, lots of thump!

The knowledge learned from these guys is so valuable and appreciated that I’ll let the commercials play while I check my email. As long as it isn’t one of those 40 minute commercials! 😉

[@codybieker4924]

I've learned so much from this channel and almost everytime I apply what he talks about I catch more fish.

Me too even got me divorce so now i can by more tackle thanks to Matt & Tim im a free man 😎🎣

I'm a bank fisherman and didn't know I could learn so much from this channel. Thank you for packing so much information into each video!

[@tacticalbassin]

We're happy to help!

[@andrewgardner4803]

You know you’re following the right fishing channel on KZbin when you literally laugh out loud while watching a video that you are also gaining valuable information from. (Matt: baitfish when being chased normally don’t stop and wait to get eaten 😂). In my opinion this is the best informative fishing channel on KZbin. Keep up the good work guys! 🎣

[@ryangeorge1570]

been crushing on a chatterbait lately but have had zero confidence in a swim jig. i tied one on Monday and then you did this video. you read my mind

[@mattietiger2959]

Your over all knowledge of fishing and passion for it is out of this world !

[@Plee92]

D walker trailer for the swim jig is so good. Thanks for sharing the knowledge

[@davidtoelle3532]

I agree D walker is great .try a lunker city shaker ( less expensive and nearly the same action )

[@DavidBronstein1961]

Just caught my PB on a swim jig and a River2sea D Walker 100! Didn’t have a scale but 22” and FAT. Maybe 6.5 lb? Missed her the first time on a big blowup, then skipped that jig right back to the boil and BAM! Thanks to TB for all of the great swim jig vids. Really made the difference.

[@tacticalbassin]

Thats awesome! Congratulations!!

[@pacman_17]

Another great video. I like this format where you explain the differences between similar lures. And then the optimal situations to use them.

[@EasyModeFishing]

I’m pretty much a soft plastic, chatterbait, spinnerbait and crankbait lord but I’ll still watch videos like these for fun :)

[@leroyboonejr2808]

Bro you and Tim always have some good knowledge to give us. You guys are the absolute best!!!

[@Anthony-Paul]

Matt can you please cover the finesse swim jig with the recommended trailers? Much thanks

[@hc_gabe4078]

A bluegill swim jig is probably my go to summer bait. Specifically the california swim jig with a 4.8 sun gill keitech

[@Mattys91gt]

Go pats @hc_gabe

[@legionssb]

@@Mattys91gt well, as long as Brady is gone that’s fine I guess... 😂

Thank you for getting straight to the point. I hate when people talk way to much about unrelated things.

[@geneg5870]

Chatterbaits, swim jigs, worms, creatures and neds make up my complete arsenal 🎣💪👍 (my top water rig is a long forgotten classic 🤫😉)

[@jasonfreeman4753]

Awesome video Matt! Thanks for sharing.

[@tdeeb6359]

Outstanding video, Matt !!! Thank you!

[@anthonymunster3696]

The experience shows Matt. Huge thank you. Knowing you situation and picking the rt bait to throw in and around grass is an incredible tool to have in the tool bag. Thanks for getting very specific and why!

[@lexxb6386]

Chatterbait is one of my confidence baits. I will say that I've used various colors and they all catch. I now carry several skirts to quickly change.

[@nelsonchiro]

This is one of my favorite videos of all time. Watching Matt share this knowledge with such passion is incredibly inspiring. Matt, you are an amazing teacher. Thank you. (Tim you are amazing, too!)

[@joshuahawkins8529]

Thanks for all you guys do, extremely informative. Best channel to learn from hands down.

[@MountainMenAxes]

These guys are such fantastic teachers we all are lucky that they take time out to do this. I always like the video immediately just for their time.

[@robbymccall6444]

TB thanks for the information you put out here. I like watching the fishing but the information helps out just as much as fishing. Thanks SGa

[@a7xmyfist]

Just getting into this guy's content. Some of the best I've come across for real info. None of this is what I use and what to pair it up with and look I caught one and nothing else. He gives the true functionality and practices for the type of equipment you are using. He had brands yes but it's the explaining of what he is looking for so he can use it for his needs not selling a brand and saying look I caught some on it. Keep up the great great videos. Now to Binge watch all the others... lol

[@lstaples007]

That was the clarification I needed in immatating bait fish and when and where, I had all but put the chatter away for the summer but now I will bring it back out! I have been waiting for your snap reccomendations as well... cant thank you enough sir! Have a good 1🙂

[@richardblake4777]

Another quality video Matt. Another indication of why TB is #1.

[@lukaswalker7825]

I’d love to see a 2021 buyers guide video like you’ve done in the past, as far as rods and reels/ setups!

[@BrdyFlys9474]

Thjs is great! I must of had a premonition. I just bought a bunch of jigs and swim jigs yesterday. Thankyou for the excellent info as always!

[@johnbacigalupi7475]

Take this channel to one million. State/region specific video series. Rod/bait split screen cadence series!

[@michaelrohatch7820]

I caught my PB (7+ lbs) on a chatterbait back in May. But now that it’s summer time, I’m catching more fish, and bigger fish on a black & blue swim jig. As always, great video Matt!

[@cantgetenoughoutdoors3258]

I just love this channel I could fish with you guys love the passion

[@andrewmcavoy8841]

Man this video was exactly what I needed because I have been so close to putting this puzzle together on my home lake with shallow grass. Done very well with the jackhammer but I want to have a secondary approach to the grass. The way you described “secondary action” with the proper swimbait trailer was key for me. Ready to go pre fish for next tournament now.

[@clydesharman2053]

Thank you for all the really good info you explained a lot of great details. And even left links to the equipment you use

I can tell he enjoyed making the video! great info!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! only the best tips from you and Tim!

Thanks from Western Kentucky Matt. Much appreciated.

There is nothing better than put in practice what you just learned on a video. I just caught a 7 lb 4oz on the NO JACK S-Gig doing what I learned on this video. Thanks man for sharing the knolage.

[@Milehighsnake98]

You guys....I literally just spent a fortune on swim jigs and trailers, looking at your previous videos about them. Decided to get some swammers and d walkers for them to try them out. And then you hit me with this. Either I've learned to predict your videos so I have the tackle BEFORE the video, or it was just great timing.

[@karlanderson5137]

Love the info on chatterbaits just started experimenting with them in the middle of wisconsin 90% of where i fish is cranberry mashes bass crappies northern ive caught no bass yet but some big northerns on them cant wait to hook on a big bass with them thnx again fish on

[@markharp1988]

I've broken a jackhammer swivel was fishing 20lbs sunline shooter the fish was huge seriously broke my heart. But I caught alot of fish on that exact jackhammer probably worn out swivel I guess. Awesome video

[@williamtrent9813]

Those pleasure shads are what I use on my swim jigs too. Soon as a I saw there action in the water I knew instantly they were going to be an awesome trailer. They give the swim jig action without any effort on my part

caught one on a dirty jigs swim jig yesterday that went 6 lbs, a giant for CT and my PB. Thanks guys

The first lure I throw every year is a big ol’ chatterbait for some cold water hogs. It’s the best for early spring fishing here in Wisconsin after the ice melt.

[@numberonenole4590]

Great video Matt!

Grilling some chicken and watching tactical bassin. Nothing better!!

Just wanted to come back and say thx, your video helped me gain some confidence even though I didn't catch a thing😂😂. Today was the 1st day after about 6 times that I actually got and felt a bunch of bites, I kept casting in same area and felt em every cast, but the last one even took off a bunch of reel and boom it popped 😂😂. I actually really liked that swim bait. Thx again, I'm hyped to get back out there, I need to get my knot game up😢😂

[@flipper644]

Great Tips!!

[@chadmurphy4345]

I'm a TB fanatic and learned alot from them but I just wish it wasn't always the same vids year after year with just a different bait to talk about I wished they had more videos of new content that they've not done before. Reguardless I still watch them all

[@andybales7318]

Another informative video from T.B. I definately prefer chatterbaits over swim jigs..like to feel that blade workin'. the 8 thumbs down are older bass, from different states is my guess..

[@TeamJesusOutdoors]

Great stuff!

[@LargeMouthLunkin]

Hey Matt, on the years I've watched a couple of swim jig videos. All GREAT information!!! My question is, when is it a good idea to use a craw as a trailer? Also, when does it have an advantage over a swimbait?

[@svanginault]

I would also like to know

[@jmanf223]

It’s related to his point on overall profile and being mindful of what you are attempting to represent. He has a mother video on spinner baits & bladed jigs, he breaks down the craw trailer on chatterbaits in that one.

You guys have helped me so much thank you for the great content! Also, I am looking to get a 6”10 medium rod for jerkbaits, topwaters, and maybe some lipless as well. I was going to get the expride but they are sold out everywhere! What are your recommendations on other rods I can get that I would be able to get right now?

[@guad512]

I would go cheap on a rod with similar stats, but be ready to pounce when the 6’10” Expride is available. Once you have it there’s no other jerkbait rod!

[@Shawn_Lai]

Another quality video! How come you recommend the XG high speed reels? I often hear people say to not go above a 7 speed.

[@guad512]

You definitely need a high speed reel for chatterbaits! One to do that “quick crank” to create that fleeing action and most importantly to pick up that big bow in the line when a fish bum rushes your bait and keeps coming forward!

[@Veyron_125]

I was thinking the same thing.. why chose the XG I always thought that HG was ideal…
