Anybody use the chatterbaits?

[Gamec0cks5]

I have about 3 chatterbaits that I have picked up over the last couple of years and haven't used them a whole lot. I've caught maybe 2-3 fish on them.

Do y'all like em? I am particularlly using the Z-Man ones but I know other manufacturers are making them too.

I've had good luck with Zman and SK Pure Poison. I'll use them in murky/stained water the same way I'd use a spinnerbait - with slow steady retrieve or stop n go. I have a lot of colors, but Chartreuse/White seem to work best for me.

I like Zman ChatterFrog too. It stays up toward the surface and is a lot of fun.

[Gamec0cks5]

Yeah I have a black/blue pure poison too, I just need to have more confidence in them I think and just use them

I use the Zman in black/blue with great sucess. I have also had sucess with many other colors as well. I use a chatterbait almost every time I am fishing.

They are OK.

I have caught many pond fish on them, followed by river fish.

Not too much luck with the Chatterbait on lakes.

I haven't had much success with them, however I will say, when they hit a chatterbait, they hit it like a freight train.

I see a lot of fish follow chatterbaits but, like Maltese said, when they hit they get hit hard. Bass seem to get mad at them more than anything. I think they're fun to fish. But that's what I'm into; not tournament money or anything.

Great prespawn bait.

I'm having a great deal of luck right now with a KaRu Vibrashock.  However, I never know they hit until i feel the vibration stop.  If it wasnt for the vibration, I probably would miss half the fish I have caught.

[Gamec0cks5]

I just picked up about 5 of them for a dollar a piece on sale so I was just curious I will keep fishing them you never know

[Big Bass Chaser]

They are a great bait to slow roll for females staging about to spawn.  If you're not going to snag up too much, you can fish them like a fast football head jig too.

Be sure to ck the sharpness of the hook.  I have found several dull out of the box.

ive had some good bites fishing a white shad colored pure poison like a trap- over weeds and jerking it free.
