I have been fishing chatterbaits about 4 years now. Dont claim to be an expert on it either.
Reason I asked the question is I have never experienced bait rolling over on itself.
I think the video is a little decieving. What you see in the video is the lure really working side to side especially when you "kick start it"Or slow it down and get back to it really quick.
There is no split ring between the blade and the eye either.
The blade is molded to the head through a ring when the lead is poored.The chatter comes from the blade hitting the head on the side to side action.
Not being a smart *** either.Just that I know the guy that makes the chatterbait and I know how hard he worked on it in designing and marketing. The bait is not sunstandard by any means.
I am sure someone will be able to improve it one day.
The baits with the eaker shaker be it original or modified want even come close to performing like the real chatterbait.
I am not just saying this for the heck of it, It is a fact.
The eaker shaker type blades connected with a split ring will cause the bait to come straight to the top and if not retrieved slow, the bait will roll over quick.
Not trying to cut anybody out of a deal but if you can wait on the original I promise it will be well worth it.
Hope I dont offend anyone.

I just hate to see a comment about the bait being substandard
