I’m glad you mentioned the need for a fast reel to catch up to them when they’re eating it good! I’ve had people look at me like I’m crazy when I’ve mentioned it myself! That high speed reel is also great for those quick single reel cranks near cover.

Great information! Love using them with a spunk shad for smallmouth.

Great instruction Brent, appreciate all your knowledge and experience sharing.

Great info and you speak the truth about bladed jigs. 2023 was my first year to use the 2 chatter baits I carried in my back pack for 2 years. I found that a white chatter bait with a baby bass colored fluke was deadly in the clear strip pit I fish a lot. 4 and 5 pounders were attracted to it . Thanks for sharing your knowledge !

What a great video!

I agree with you on a MH rod but Brett Hite (the Chatter Master) uses a heavy action parabolic rod.

As a tournament angler, thanks to FFS, there's coming a day to where the only bait we'll need is a swimbait.

[@gabeerwin4024]

Great video, Brent. You converted me 100%

[@stevecartwright3306]

Great video Brent. My son Devon got me some bladed jigs but I've never tried them out. After watching this I have to try them out. Local Shawnee waters I guess.

[@brentchapmanoutdoors]

@@stevecartwright3306 they are good everywhere! By far my favorite

[@hooks2bset]

The Central Pro-Am plaque in the background is straight 🔥

[@brentchapmanoutdoors]

The good old days! It was a great tournament circuit.

[@hooks2bset]

@brentchapmanoutdoors Absolutely! Ernie was the straightest shooting tournament director that you could ask for. Don and Kevin did a great job, as well, after Ernie passed.

Brent I have braid line on everything. Haven't had any problems yet but I don't fish tournaments just fun fishing. Last fall ran in to our buddy Ronny .

[@davidcrump2348]

I like rage bug rage tail and a swammer. I am going to try a spunk shad this year

Great video Brent! - shared to 613BASS'N 😎

You mentioned a boot tail swim bait creates too much drag . I agree . I think the skirt creates too much drag as well . A skirt less 3/8 oz will run deeper than a skirted 1/2 oz. It will have a more free swimming action . I cannot think of any creature in the water that has a skirt ? If you want it to run shallow , now you can put that swim bait back on that skirt less chatter bait . Try the boot tail upside down.

[@davidcrump2348]

If fished it this is my second year fishing them all the time and only caught 1 bass on them

[@matttitus2998]

Brent - If I may ask... When do you use a Thunder Cricket vs. Jackhammer?

[@kevinvaughan2570]

I remember you liked flipping a uv beaver style bait

[@rickvann3489]

I remember his Skinny ass fishing the Central Pro-Am, has filled out now

[@brentchapmanoutdoors]

@@rickvann3489 man… I sure miss central pro-am. (And I’ve definitely filled out😂)

[@rickvann3489]

@brentchapmanoutdoors you may or may not remember me I was a Doug Garrett protégé and hung out with John Sappington some and Mike McClelland. I'm thought that was one of the better circuits ever

[@jamiejuicenewton3349]

why determines the brand you use? Why/when the Jackhammer vs Thunder Cricket?

[@Phreddyfoophred]

I absolutely can't catch fish on one, I'll throw and catch fish on a spinnerbait or get skunked with a chatterbait.

[@tonycopeland881]

I catch all my fish in their mouth...Bladed jigs are not all that
