I love these! I can watch the entire video of all 19 trailers....multiple times.

[@skylerlee8154]

I'll just throw this out there as another for anyone to try. Missile baits D Bomb rigged sideways. It's side profile matches a pan fish perfectly. Insane action as well.

[@thesonorandesertangler]

Thanks bro, I can get these locally. Definitely going to check it out.

[@buddymccormack8668]

I never skip through your videos, the longer videos are the best ones, so much information !

[@richardblake4777]

Great video Matt, I can't get enough chatterbait info. You and Tim are by far the best fisherman/teachers out there.

[@kusland6786]

I found the best chatterbait trailer by far : black minnow’s body. It kicks fast like the blade, send light flashes with its flat sides... it over performs swim senko, easyshinners by a magnitude of ten. Crazy. The blue back or blue back chartreuse is my all time favorite on whiteish chatters.

[@Rowen170]

The simple, classic, multi use, underrated swim jig ever. ZOOM SALTY SUPER FLUKE is my go to.

[@guad512]

Gotta love Sierra taking credit with her fish dance! 😍

[@midwestfischerman]

You guys missed comparing several Z-Man Elaztech trailers in this comparison: DieZel MinnowZ (swimbait), Turbo CrawZ (craw-style), and the RaZor ShadZ (profile-style). Any reason why you guys left out all of these Z-Man Elaztech baits???

[@thesonorandesertangler]

Literally the best ones from Zman

[@Gunrunner223]

Never hurts to just put a zoom finesse worm on there! Looks good in a pinch. Love y'all's videos, best in the business.

[@chrisboyd1408]

Great to see you and your family fishing together. Thanks for sharing

[@ervindyer7031]

I've always thrown a super fluke on a chatterbait this is the first time I've seen somebody else try it! It kills!

[@michaelwyatt7219]

One of my new found favorites is the zoom fluke stick. Randomly decided to try it bc I had a few used ones laying in the boat bc I save them for ned rigs but a zoom fluke stick trimmed down and on a chatter bait has a great action and for when you want a smaller less bulky profile making the fluke stick more versatile of a bait

[@aldeureaux5184]

Yep, the last action category followed by the profile category are my 2 favorites

[@codybieker4924]

Another awesome video from you. As a kayak fisherman I'm limited on what I can take. This video helped me out pick out the right trailers, thank you.

[@davidhidalgo5662]

I think I actually squealed like a little kid when I saw just the title. You have gotten me so addicted to chatterbaits. I have one tied on at all times. This is my video the one I dream of all the time. THANK YOU I cannot say it enough Thank you for all you do.

[@timriley687]

[@joshwhite8055]

I use the Keitech Custom Leech . Hands down the best trailer I've used . It took the place of the Fluke for me . Especially in grass !!!

[@ILLUMINATHAN79]

I love the Spunk Shad my fav. Definitely hard to get these days. The Jackall i-Shad is a good one, I just wish they made bigger sizes. The Z-Man Razor Shad and two that nobody talks about is the A3 Anglers Crazy Tail Shad and the Bellows Gill (crazy action). All great chatterbait trailers. I am a chatterbait addict and this video is right up my alley. Thanks guys!!

[@CBALLZ666]

That Spunk Shad 5.5 looks amazing in my opinion, as well as the Zoom Super Fluke and the Yamamoto Cowboy were my favs. Awesome video guys!!! The underwater footage is some of my favorite TB videos. It teaches us so much about the baits we throw. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos. Best on YT for sure!!! 👍🏻🤘🏻👌🏻👊🏻🎣🐟💯

I never would have thought to use a super fluke as a chatterbait trailer, I'd eat that if I were a bass

[@RegularAssUsername]

I use a shad color Chatterbait with a Smokin Shad Zoom fluke to imitate a crappie, and wear them out in my local river.

[@archangel19]

I've been using fluke as trailers for years. A little super glue helps with last longer

[@troycote2724]

@@archangel19 Bingo! I bite the head off and use a dab of glue also. My pb in Mass is 7 4oz on that bait.

Has anyone used the StreakZ From Zman. Seams like it could last for a very long time.

[@OregonGrown1991]

With the chatterbait being my #1 go to lure for bigger bites this is an amazing video. Thank you!

[@tacticalbassin]

We're happy to help 👍

[@Timmerman0602]

As a replacement for the zoom super fluke, you should try the Zman “jerk shad” or “streak”. It has a softer body which gives it more action, and 20x the durability. Tight lines 💪🏼

[@colbs6726]

I also use zman swim baits like the diesel minnow and razer shads .. I was disappointed to not see more zman on this video

[@phenglee6084]

[@georgepretnick4460]

Good video. I learned a thing or two, even though I'm not a tournament bass fisherman. If I was trying to win a contest, I'd do exactly as you suggest, but I have my own suggestions how to maximize your fish catching. 1) Fish as often as you possibly can to stay 'in practice'. 2) You don't have to have a boat, but it helps a lot. 3) Keep your tackle in well maintained condition regardless how high or low quality it is. 4) Keep your bait/lure in the water as much as possible. 5) Don't do tackle prep in the boat. Do as much rigging at home as you can. Don't make the fish wait for you to get it together.

[@quentintincher8323]

You gotta try a 10,000 fish yotoworm as a trailer, caught a couple largemouth and a huge saugeye fishing it this past weekend, great action!

[@JasonCarrara]

i really appreciate how in depth your how 2s are. i was getting frustrated when the summer bite went away and i couldn't confidently locate the fish. i watched some other video's and still wasn't quiet succeeding. but now that ive seen yours i know when ive had bigger fish on it wasnt just luck or the time of day and i can focus my energy in those spots confidently. i fish every morning just about before work in the afternoon so its frustrating when i get up at 5 am for one or 2 small fish. ty god bless!

[@tys2324]

I catch bumpin, jerkin, rippin the chatter with cowboy craw off the bottom with the original. I've caught them mostly in clear water river channels. I was surprised to hear you didn't bump them off the rock bottoms. I got the freedom cfl and crosseyez I'm going to try with this technique next. Thank you for the content. One of my favorite shows and appreciate your honesty/integrity for what baits work, why, videos exhibiting movement, etc.

[@edpelkey7798]

The spunk shad is a great trailer, I prefer the 4.5” and I like to add a little red color. I do like the Zako too! It also looks good on a ball head jig. The under water videos are so cool! Thanks for all you and Tim do to make us better anglers 💯

[@BubbaBassAnglers]

I hate Chatterbaits and have them all in a box to give away. Then I decided that I needed to fish them more and now I know why the Jack Hammer is so popular. What's funny is I used the BBB Swimon. That thing is hands down the best Chatterbait trailer. Let's hope I can learn to like these baits next season. Thanks Matt!

[@robertrodriguez4917]

Thanks for the videos you put out bro!! I'm semi new to this and you answer all the questions I basically have!! I just don't have the means to aquire the best of the fishing gear thats out there, but thanks again for your time and the work to help us get better!!

Every time Matt talk about pop pop cut and dash then smack gets me hyped haha

[@KitebuildingGenius]

I like the flatworm style trailer. The Nikko Leech on a 3/8 jackhammer is my current favorite; just run it so the flat sides are vertical and the lobe tail is free to swing horizontally with the motion of the chatterbait

[@cherokeeboggs534]

Now I know what kind of trailer I need to run on my chatter baits. Thanks for the information. Love the under water 🎥. 🎣

Love the underwater footage guys. I know it takes a lot of time to get those shots just right. I appreciate the work you put into it. Never thought about using the keitech upside down. I will have to give that a shot. Really liked how that gambler komodo looked on that jack hammer. I need to try that combo. 👍

I liked the idea of cutting the keitech tail for a little less action

[@roycereetzjr2272]

Nice as always, We agree on the chatter baits and funny I was just trying to find a trailer for the fire craw color, My go to has been the swim Senko upside down. I'll be trying the fluke and craws this spring.

[@matthewhairell1456]

The 6th Sense Flush 5.2 is my go to trailer! There is a little ball at the end of the tail that creates an erratic action. The next new gear review should included a bunch of 6th Sense baits!

AWESOME footage! One thing I've done is cut down used trick worm and split the tail and the action is pretty good

[@markbaldwin396]

Great video, I use a yamamoto heart tail, cut off about an inch off the front

[@landondow]

I normally use a super fluke because I have tons, but those spunk shads are absolutely killer

[@legionssb]

The fluke has been my favorite trailer since I haven’t been able to pick up some spunk shads... (or I just keep forgetting 🙄😅) they haven’t been torn up too bad, but it could be the way the fish eat the bait... either way the blue spunk Shad and the pearl colors look ridiculously good. And for the craws I was noticing that the rage menace, while having less kicking action did give the bait a lot of rolling action, much like you go for in a swim jig

For anyone who hasn't tried it, a pretty good looking trailer for me was a Strike King Rage Grub (the one with the single curly tail, not the Menace).

[@robertmccorkle9656]

Great information. Very revealing look into bait movement.

Great video love the underwear. The osp Dolive stick is a awesome trailer. Thanks for all the great info

[@derickstufflebeam1624]

I use the 6th sense prawn and/or the stroker craw on my chatterbaits. Sometimes I’ll rig the stroker craw so the legs are vertical, just to present a different profile. Been thinking about trying the new Flush too as a trailer.

[@MrKenrob13]

Super Fluke was my favorite trailer UNTIL you guys got me to try that Spunk Shad and now THAT is definitely my fav!!!!!!!Thanks for what you guys do it’s absolutely awesome to see your footage ❤️💯❤️🎣🎣🎣

[@williamwheaton8614]

Matt ive heard you say you were stoked about the Chatterbait Mini Max, so I’ve got a trailer recommendation for y’all, and that is the Berkeley Powerbait Twitch Tail Minnow, it gives its that same profile as the Spunk Shad but in a smaller package. There was a company called Lucky John that was making a bait that was very similar in profile to the twitch tail, but I can no longer find them, and they were great on a full size chatterbait. I had multiple 30+ pound days using that bait, because it gives the best of all worlds, you can make it have the reaction like the spunk shad, but it gives a good profile, but it always gives a lot of action because of the little bulbous tail for a straight retrieve.

[@MrSmokeingood]

Chatterbaits are killing it for me during this fall transition

[@lstaples007]

I have gained so much confidence in the chatterbait this year, I love the Z man trailers... my favorite chatter is the jack hammer but they're a bit pricey... I have used that crosseyez chatter but replace the snap on those... as always thx for the under water footage! Tight lines✌

[@dustinwalker8152]

4 missed trailers: Deps Death Adder 5", the best for a tightened up finesse type action. Strike King blade minnow, one of the best hunting and moving/reaction trailers ever especially when used with the Picasso shock blade pro (the only non chatterbait brand, or at least the only non JDM ones, vibrating jigs I use). Sideways rigged Lake Fork magic swimmer or the one with the pointed tail (I don't remember the name of the top of my head) the best trailer for fishing through wood, with a non weedguard chatterbait. The flat body keeps the bait from rolling over, just enough, when brought over wood to keep from getting hung. Lastly, the Nories Body Balance, probably my all time favorite as it is like a cross between the hunt of the Blade Minnow, flow and dart of the Spunk Shad, action of the Death Adder and has a flat body to keep it weedless in wood, plus it gives the bait somewhat of a flashing/rolling type of action to go with the blade.

[@stoneysdead689]

I know you get a thousand recommendations for trailers and there are many thousands more to try but- the new Deps Frilled Shad- when you've used one up and the front end is all torn up and it's no longer any good- don't toss it out. Cut it off right behind the little plastic bill thingy that sticks up off the back and it makes the best stealth blade chatter bait trailer I've ever seen. It has a split, vertical tail on it like the komodo but it's smaller and more traditionally shaped + made of super soft, super flexible plastic- it's a killer trailer for the stealth blade. You probably could run one without cutting it down on a jackhammer but- it's going to have that bill thingy that sticks up off the back and makes it rock from side to side- which may add a great rolling action to the chatter bait or- may cause issues, dk- never tried it. I guess you could always cut the bill off but- I'm not going to sacrifice a frilled shad for a trailer like that- they catch fish all on their own really, really well and they're rather expensive. I generally run them on a flashy swimmer- great combination.

[@andrewsales5417]

The strike king rage tail looks AMAZING as a jig trailer

The fluorocarbon is like one month old, and I am using a uni knot.

[@thesonorandesertangler]

You need to switch out flouro often. That's why most of us go braid to flouro or mono leader. If I'm spooling straight flouro I switch it out every 4 trips. It gets damaged very easily. I only spool straight flouro for crankbaits and lipless crankbaits.
