The Best Chatterbait and Spinnerbait Tricks You've Never Tried!

These tricks and modifications will change your spinnerbait and chatterbait fishing! With underwater footage to help understand the tips, this video will help you catch more fish. We cover everything from skirt modifications to blade options, trailer tricks to color selection in today's in-depth look at how to put a new twist on these bass fishing classics.
Some anglers prefer to keep it casual, settling on a favorite bait and just going fishing. Others prefer to dive in to the details and really fine tune their tackle. This video has both anglers in mind. We begin with simple selections and advance to skirt modifications and trailer tricks you've never seen before.
In addition, Matt takes the time to share his favorite spinnerbaits in each category then follows it up with details about what makes them so unique. One bait is best for muddy water, another will get bit in ultra-clear conditions. When it comes to chatter baits, he emphasizes the importance of a bait that is quick to start its vibration and focuses on trailers who's movements match the blades'.
Below is a breakdown of the baits, trailers, and colors we trust to consistently catch fish. We've also included links to previous In-Depth videos we've done on both spinnerbaits and chatter baits.

Best show ever. I have been watching for over two years. At first I thought you were much to technical for me. I also caught nothing ! Three years later my catch rate is about 1 an hour & I expect to limit out. Even won a few local tournaments. Matt, you guys are without a doubt the best on youtube. Many thanks & keep em coming.

I have to agree. My game has gone way up since watching these videos. Hopefully cash a check in the big bass bash this year.

[@johnathansawyer8736]

I love this! I would love to see a spreadsheet of sorts. Column for clear/muddy water, column for temperature, column for depth, and a list of order in which you would try each bait. 15 casts then change to a _____, 15 casts then move to a ______. That would help me a LOT!

No, it wouldn't.

Thanks to Tacticalbassin i give them so much credit for my success in fishing lately. Im not a hardcore fisherman I recently got back into it. I was always a drop shot person but after 2 months of watching Tacticalbassin every rig I’ve used I’ve had success with especially the Kietech worm with the chatterbait, and the underspin swimbait . I caught my personal best largemouth 6-8 pounds using a bluegill 4” kietech worm on a green pumpkin chatterbait. Thank you Tacticalbassin for all your tutorials.

[@mrwwh9174]

Matt you break it down so well. I will be trying these tactics this season. The 42 thumbs down are all bass.

So, yesterday I went down to a spot where I've had okay (sometimes 1 fish per day) luck. When I got there it was 104 degrees & the sun was dropping quick. I've been fishing a frog due to heavy brush but yesterday & after watching the first few minutes tied on a white spinnerbait with a shad trailer. Gotta say, after 5 fish, I'm a believer! Thanks for the great tips. Now I've gotta watch the rest of the video!!

[@michaelleady9089]

Thanks for everything you do Matt you must be the most knowledgeable fisherman in the world right now no discredit to no one but that’s just how I feel

[@brandonswanson4078]

My brother and I used to have a 14 acre private lake we could fish. It was managed very well and that's where I truly learned how to effectively fish different baits and when to use them. One frosty January morning we got out there at daylight and we started near the dock as always. I had a solid chartreuse kvd spinnerbait and my brother had the exact model but in firetiger. They just happened to be schooled up there and they were SMOKING those baits reeled at a moderate speed! We wound up catching at least 25 fish in 10-15 minutes all ranging from 3 1/2 - 6 lbs. The next morning I had to go alone and same story. First cast was a 3 1/2, next cast was a 4, and then I nailed my pb at the time at 7 lbs. I was so excited I quit fishing what a mistake! Water was super clear for that bright chartreuse! Reminded me of this memory when you talked about those spawning smallies!

[@hayabusaspeedify]

Great video, Everytime I watch one of your videos I end up buying more tackle and adding to my fishing knowledge.

[@ianmarkp.-grid_moto-]

Thanks for the tip on placing the trailer upside down for action on the chatter bait! It worked pretty instantaneously which I feel resulted in 3 good fish in 15 mins, cheers!

[@thorthehuntsman2382]

Finally an intellectual fishing video. I love that you get technical and explain how subtle changes can be so effective.

[@traviskillian276]

Your channel had my absolute go to for tips and tricks. Last season I caught a couple hundred bass jigging some kind of soft plastic. Doing so, my wrist and thumb have been since. I've never been great at spinners/chatters, but have been going to those more to allow my had to recover. Your channel has helped so much on the little tips that I've never really thought about. Thanks

[@scalnation3069]

I REALLY like this layout of video over the past one. The beginner section for those new to the bait at the start and have never fished it. The intermediate section for those who have fished it but are not that successful and the end for just the little tweaks once you have confidence in the bait to get the most out of it! I am new to spinnerbaits/chatterbaits but heard they slay smallies so here I am. Will be back to watch again after a few days on the water

[@coleblanton2251]

Good tips. Up in northern Indiana I love to fish an all black full size spinner bait with a big all black Colorado blade at night. I’m the mid summer warm nights fish breaks and weed lines and slow roll it just so the blaze thumps. With a steady retrieve big bass hammer it and almost rip the rod out of your hand if you aren’t ready for it.

[@colbycurrier5968]

You guys have very informative videos and I understand you have found your niche on KZbin by doing these sit down talks, and it has worked out very well for you. With that said I do think you should do more raw fishing videos, or just including some fish catches in your sit downs to put some immediate proof behind your tips. I think your channel would benefit from this small change and you would get more viewers because of it. You guys are awesome and I hope you get to sticking some big ones soon! My favorite video of yours is when you just went out with an 8” hudd and caught a few fish to show just how easy it is.

I love chatterbaits , there my new favorite . Just by changing the trailer you can completely change how you fish it . I’ve learned so much from watching this channel . The zman custom off tackle warehouse that they link below is a great value like Matt says . The setup I use for it is a dobyns 734c champion with a shimano Curado 200k hg . Thank you for the great videos as always .

[@justin5345]

Michigan Fishin I’ll have to look into the Picasso’s shock blades , actually never heard of them . Yes I do have a black blue jackhammer . Very Nice lure , it’s like a luxury edition of the chatterbait . For the price though , you might be better off getting 2-3 zman customs chatterbaits instead .

[@shanescott3168]

I really enjoyed and benefitted from this video. Thank you! I got back into bass fishing last year during the COVID quarantine, and spinnerbaits were very effective for me on black bass and catfish(!). I used topwaters and crankbaits but it was hard for me to put down spinnerbaits because they worked consistently for me. I got into modifying skirts and changing blades last year and will experiment with your tips this year. I like your simple approach.

Once again I'm amazed at how similar Matt & I fish, swear it's like he's my spirit fisherman! 🤣 Hog Farmer is the TRUTH! I'm curious if either of you guys have ever used their Swinging EWG Hooks? It's become my favorite way to throw a Keitech! It's weedless, the free swinging hook gives it a DEADLY wobble, & once you stick them they stay pinned cuz they can't use the head as leverage to shake it! Those hooks with a 4.3" Keitech have landed me both my 1st & 2nd Muskie (35" & 42") & a 4lb largemouth, all out of my home lake which is CRAZY for that lake! I'm in lower Michigan where a 4lb largemouth is something to cheer about! 🤣 I know a guy that has fished that lake for 15 years & he has never caught a Muskie! When I told him I caught 2 this year he looked sick! So I gave him one of these hooks & a pack of Keitech FATS to try his luck with them, he walked away cheesing! I had literally just ordered my 1st pack of the Spunk Shad earlier today to give them a try on my new chatterbait 🤣 #MattIsMySpiritFisherman

[@williamgould7807]

For years I have used something like the Zoom split tail trailer on my spinnerbaits. Sometimes I have to bite off a little because I don't want too much tail hanging from the back of the bait. Another nice thing about them is if you feel the need to use a trailer hook you can put it on the bait on top of the trailer. I always use the trailer hooks with the rubber over the end of the eye so that the thing isn't flopping all over the place. My favorite colors are bright green or chartreuse Andy white. I mix and match with a white spinnerbait or white and chartreuse. I use Terminator spinnerbaits and my favorite is the white and chartreuse tandem. I don't buy the titanium but use the cheaper one they offer.

[@peggyshafar9992]

[@jam-pa8874]

Just wanted to say thanks to you guys, crank baits were never a strength, but after watching your video on lipless cranks and red ones at that I put it to use at my lake and it worked great wasn't a giant but it was a decent size.

[@cazbarsaelao4663]

Completely agree with the dayglo orange or red accent making a difference! When I threw spinnerbaits in the delta a lot I SWEAR it would out perform a solid white bait!

[@murphroberts4891]

Earlier today I watched the video of David Fritts winning the '93 BassMaster Classic. He volunteered that he was throwing plain white bait to catch his fish. At some point he switched to white with orange and the bite quit. He reverted to plain white and resumed catching fish until he won the Classic.
