Crowcommander Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 I had a great day on a modified z man with Green pumpkin skirt 3/8 Oz.Stopped at Wally worldon way home and bought 2 more( White). Its kinda like fishing a football jig shallow.I use a bite off piece of green Pumpkin trick worm as trailer.Sometimes the strike is very light like they're comming up behind it and tehy run sideways.Lots of fun,But haven't found any Z man in Green pumpkin.Imho i also think the small Z man Blade works better than the larger off brands. The blade is also turned up to bounce off brush ans catched less grass. Quote
Diggy Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 I have a few but the white zman gets chomped up Quote
endless Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 Doesn't seem like I can ever fish a chatterbait at night without catching a channel cat. They like that strong vibration. Wipers and white bass love them too. Cats loves spinners too. I had to look up to see what a Wiper was. Quote
5fishlimit Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 I've never caught anything on chatterbaits. I had some Zmans, but recently bought some Booyah boogees so hopefully I have better luck. The booyah has much more vibration, but the bendable shaft is maddening. I still fall back on the zman chatterbaits. Black & blue, and chartreuse are the 2 colors to get. Sharpen the hooks, and use a different trailer. Quote

The chartreuse trailer with little flecks always looks good when I open the package, but then I put something else on the chatterbait. They work well for making a large beetlespin though. Quote
TriCityBassin' Posted January 30, 2013 Author Posted January 30, 2013 wow, there is a lot of love for the bait i can't make work. lol I promise to go out and grab ONE to give it another shot. ty Quote
Zeeso Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Black/blue chatterbait is one of my confidence, go to lures. My main gripe with the Z-man original chatterbaits is the hook is complete garbage. However They have released to new version, chatterbait elite. That comes equipped with a premium Gamakatsu 5/0 hook. a HUGE upgrade. Im actually ordering a few right now. Quote
