Chatterbaits
Chatterbaits, a bait I can't describe. I first found out about the deadly bait in Cabela's in Kansas city a couple of years ago. My curiosity struck as my eyes glued onto the three eighths ounce bladed jig that looked like no other. As my mind is puzzled about the straight blade with the bent end on it. I instantly think that this is the bait. The Mothership of all baits. One cast and I catch a big bass. So I decide to grab a “Shad Glimmer” Zman Chatterbait. The next day I tie the bait on and go fishing. The seventy degree day with still, clear water. I cast out. Nothing. Again. Nothing. A few casts later I throw the bait out with hope I will only hook a single fish. And then it happens, A big, chunky three pounder comes up to my bait and engulfs it. That's when I was hooked. I started using this bait every day until I was an expert. The most successful days on a Chatterbait was on cloudy conditions about eighty five degree weather with partially clear water on a beautiful summer day. I would simply just cast the bait out there and reel the bait in occasionally ripping the bait if there was reeds. If I was in a hotter day of the summer I would let the bait sink longer then reel. If it was a colder day all I would do is let the bait sink about two feet deeper then reel. But if it was a fall day when the fish are schooling I would locate a school and follow them around the pond and casting where they would be next making the bait go into the middle of the school.
