ZB85 Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 Has anyone used these? How do they stack up compared to other 'chatterbait' style lures? Quote
tbone1993 Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 My friend is somewhat of a chatterbait expert and his favorite is the d&m custom baits piranha. The original chatterbaits break often and arent worth what they cost. The chatterbait elites arent much better and at that point pay extra for the D&M. I cant say much about the strike kings ones but if you want a nice chatterbait go with the d&m. 1 Quote
Super User Wayne P. Posted May 12, 2014 Super User Posted May 12, 2014 The Pure Poison is just OK. It does better than the straight split ring connection between the blade and jig head knock-offs since the split ring is inside the jig head. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted May 13, 2014 Global Moderator Posted May 13, 2014 Not a fan of them. I bought a bunch when the were discontinued at a local tackle store and even for half price they weren't worth the money I spent on them. 1 Quote

Super User Fishes in trees Posted May 13, 2014 Super User Posted May 13, 2014 I haven't had any issues with them and they come in some colors that you can't find in any other brand. I like the Ozark Smoke color. I generally fish in waters that have a 3 1/2 foot or better secchi disc reading. I generally use chatter baits interchangeably with spinner baits. They aren't my favorite. My current favorite is a Gambler branded bait. It is tied on a football jig head, has a brush guard, and comes in a kind of bluegill color. These were discontinued at Rogers a couple of years ago, and I have 2 left. Quote
