Chatterbaits For Smallies?

[MassBass]

Im really liking fishing chatterbaits this season, fun lure to fish. How do they work for smallmouth in lakes? what about Rivers?

The new Rage Blade in Bluegill with a Green Pumpkin Magic fluke just plain suck I tell you, just suck!

Chatter baits for smallies are usually great however there's time a Spinnerbait will work better. D&M piranha in tilapia is a smallmouth slayer!!!

I have done much better with a spinnerbait for smallies if that type of presentation is working. I usually use the chatterbait if there is too much grass or too thick of weeds for the spinnerbait. The chatterbait comes through them clean as a whistle 99% of the time and the fish smash it right when it comes through weeds or grass. Granted, this is usually a largemouth presentation. I usually use a spinnerbait for smallies because the water is usually open near the surface. In the end, it all depends, though!
