shootermcbob Posted June 8, 2013 Posted June 8, 2013 Lot's of success with strike king pure poison...bought several at walmart for a buck each. lately, a local fellow makes some that are sold at our local fishing store, and I have been using them. they have a "holographic" front on the blade. he has one in green pumpkin and the holographic front flashes green pumpkin, a hint of yellow, and a hint of orange as it vibrates. well made, and so far no problems.

Lip 'em! Posted June 8, 2013 Posted June 8, 2013 Without the skirt? What do you use as a trailer Yes sir! Zoom flukes or hollow belly swimbaits. 1 Quote
bkohlman Posted June 8, 2013 Posted June 8, 2013 I like Z-Man , and I also like some custom made ones a buddy here on bassresource gave me! 1 Quote
TNBassin' Posted June 9, 2013 Posted June 9, 2013 I have Booyahs and some Zman and haven't caught crap on any of them. Really wanting to test out that flexible hook on the Booyahs though if the d**n fish will ever bite it. Quote
Super User Grizzn N Bassin Posted June 9, 2013 Super User Posted June 9, 2013 Yes sir! Zoom flukes or hollow belly swimbaits.[/quoteI will try this Quote
Super User Grizzn N Bassin Posted June 9, 2013 Super User Posted June 9, 2013 I make my own and catch far more on them than I ever have on store bought bladed jigs. I build them on a 3/8oz football jig or 5/16oz ballhead jig with a 4/0 black nickel Mustad ultra point. Plus I can customize my skirt color. I've caught a ton of good fish on them the last couple years. Caught my two biggest bass of the year on them in fact, one on black and blue and one on zebra shad. Nice baass!!! How do you like to them... I caught several bass last including my pb over 7 pounds.. Quote
Super User MarkH024 Posted June 9, 2013 Super User Posted June 9, 2013 I guess Ive never really experimented with others but the Strike King Pure Poison has worked just fine for me!This in Bluegill for me. Quote
ripinthem Posted June 9, 2013 Posted June 9, 2013 zman did have some hook issues, when they went with a cheap hook, when demand was crazy. I had heard that they have fixed it, with a Mustad. New ones should be good. Don't use em much myself, but that's just a story I heard...maybe its true, with all the stuff I've heard about their hooks...I've got a few Pirhana's I need to try... Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted June 9, 2013 Global Moderator Posted June 9, 2013 Nice baass!!! How do you like to them... I caught several bass last including my pb over 7 pounds.. I really like the ones I've been making, and more importantly so do the fish. I've been fishing a lot of black in combination with some other color and it really seems like I catch better quality fish than I do with white or chartreuse. Quote

Same here...I enjoy tying my own skirts. I also like using those blades with holes in them offered by Barlows. Quote

I have some of the bubbler blades but can't really tell a difference in them. What difference do you see when using them? 1 Quote
quanjig Posted June 10, 2013 Posted June 10, 2013 Blue, that's a scrounger. You shouldn't throw those, they don't work......... Quote

What difference do you see when using them? How do you like working your chatter baits? I normally swim them or just jerk em down on the bottom like a jig Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted June 11, 2013 Global Moderator Posted June 11, 2013 How do you like working your chatter baits? I normally swim them or just jerk em down on the bottom like a jig Slow, steady retrieve normally. I was catching fish reeling it as slow as I could get the blade to work last week in muddy water. I've had a few times in clear water or over weeds when running them just under the surface was best though. 1 Quote

I've had a few times in clear water or over weeds when running them just under the surface was best though. I agree with this, seems to work best for me as well. I'm not saying bass don't want them on a fast retrieve at times but usually it seems to put off a little too much vibration for the fish when it's done that way. Quote
BillB. Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 Personally like the chatterbait! Have caught many large fish with them. I must remember to check the lure after catching a large one. Broke off two last fall but that was my own fault for not checking., It only takes a second to tie a knot! Quote
lavbasser Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 flipin4bass and Bluebasser86 where are you guys buying your blades? Quote
