So I went fishing at a local public pond that has a little bit of everything in it. Tilden Rogers park in West Memphis, Ar. Game and fish stocks it. Largemouths are catch and release only. I've been reading up on the chatterbaits as I've been away from fishing for a while. Went to Walmart and got 5 of them in different colors and sizes. I only used the char/white with the trailer that comes with it. I hung my biggest bass of 2012 on my 4th cast and wasn't even used to the lure yet. Unfortunately he threw the hook. Wasn't that big maybe 3.5-4 lbs. Caught a few small fish then I saw a bigger fish guarding a nest and on the first cast I hooked it but it got off right at the bank. He looked around 5 lbs. So for my first time using the chatterbait I'm impressed with it and glad I bought it. I'm using a crappy Walmart spinning rod till I get some money saved up and I was reeling it slow so it would go deeper. What are some good techniques that you use that produce? I will change it up next time.
