bmcrider24 Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 If you want a good set up listen to brett hite. He masters the chatter bait using fluorocarbon. He also uses i think like a 7'3'' or 7'6'' heavy action, maybe bigger, fiberglass rod. Fluoro gives a good sink it has some stretch and the glass rod really gives you time to load up on the open hook. He claims to land about 95% of his fish. He has won some real money using this outfit too. Quote

blckshirt98 Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 I use a Phenix XG3 fiberglass rod, paired with a Revo STX Gen 2 spooled with 20lb Sniper fluoro. Can cast chatterbaits a mile, feels like a crankbait on the retrieve. Quote
Super User Jrob78 Posted September 13, 2015 Super User Posted September 13, 2015 I am interested in the Dobyn's 736 Glass that is supposed to be made for bladed jigs. Quote
poisonokie Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 I heard the mh/r tatula glass rods were awesome for that. Or if you don't like composite rods, the tatula 721mhrb or 711mhrb would be a solid choice. The 711 is the one I use, but I use it with braid for jigs, worms, and spinnerbaits, too. Quote
BassThumb Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 Spinnerbait, buzzbait, chatterbait should work equally well on the same rod. I like the Dobyns 734 for these. 1 Quote
Robert Riley Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 Dobyns 704 is what I have on the way for just this. Unless you tend to throw light spinners, you can use the same rod for chatterbaits. For most spinners I'd recommend a medium (Dobyns 3 power) and since chatterbaits have much more vibrations, I would recommend a medium-heavy (4 power). Quote
cbass12 Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 7' MH/F Carbonlite is what works for me. Quote
Super User gardnerjigman Posted September 15, 2015 Super User Posted September 15, 2015 6'10"-7' MH H20 Ethos works great and rings it at $40!! Quote
cbass12 Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 6'10"-7' MH H20 Ethos works great and rings it at $40!! I plan on getting one next time they're on sale to use specifically as my bladed jig rod. Quote
benthinkin Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 I am interested in the Dobyn's 736 Glass that is supposed to be made for bladed jigs. It'll be a spin off a 765 CB Glass that LOTS of people prefer for chatters Quote
Super User Jrob78 Posted September 16, 2015 Super User Posted September 16, 2015 It'll be a spin off a 765 CB Glass that LOTS of people prefer for chatters Well, it will be 3" shorter and 1 power heavier. It should be great for more accurate casting and have the power to fish around grass and get good hook sets with a big, single hook. Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted September 16, 2015 Super User Posted September 16, 2015 QUANTUM TOUR KVD SIGNATURE SERIES TKVD746MA 7'4" MEDIUM HEAVY CRANKING ROD in combination with 30 lb braided line And this one can be had for less that $80 I have two.

wnybassman Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 Spinnerbait, buzzbait, chatterbait should work equally well on the same rod. I like the Dobyns 734 for these. I would agree with that, and for me that is a 7' MH/F with 50 pound braid. Quote
benthinkin Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 Well, it will be 3" shorter and 1 power heavier. It should be great for more accurate casting and have the power to fish around grass and get good hook sets with a big, single hook. agreed i think it will be an improvement Quote
corn-on-the-rob Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 I like a MH moderate for all single hook applications (spinner, chatter, swim. I use a 6' 6'' but anything that length or longer works as well. The MH gives enough power to drives the hook home and the moderate action gives enough play for a moving bait. Whereas for medium or small sized cranks (not deep) I like just a M moderate (7' or longer) for the same reasons above but with a little less power so I don't rip treble hooks too hard. Quote
massrob Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 I use a fenwick med heavy moderate and I love it. I've had my best days fishing this year using this with a curado and 30lb braid. I've tried a regular med heavy but I really think the moderate action helps hook and land fish. And the only chatterbaits I use are from bluebasser do yourself a favor and pm him. I caught one this morning on one and it was such a cool bite soon as the bait landed it got smashed. Quote
hatrix Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 It's funny after reading these recent posts how many peole advocate the fiberglass rods or moderate action. I had been sayin I like them for all my moving baits that I can use them on for a long time now. It was crazy talk but now it seems like there are many more converts. Peole have seen the light I guess. Quote

Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted September 21, 2015 Global Moderator Posted September 21, 2015 It's a lot of personal preference and using what works for you like everything else. I tried a glass rod and it just did not work for me. I went back to my MH/F and doing just fine. Maybe I'll try one of these glass rods built specfically for bladed jigs though and change my mind. 1 Quote
Lendiesel22 Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 I like my 7-1 MF ***, just enough backbone and a softer tip. It can be very accurate or throw it for distance. In heavier cover though I like MHF. 12 lb FC on the M and 14 FC on the MH Quote
sglenn12 Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 What is a good bait cast rod, length, action, taper for throwing chatter baits and spinnerbaits, 1/4 oz to 1/2oz? Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted September 21, 2015 Super User Posted September 21, 2015 7' Medium Heavy/ Fast Action Quote
hatrix Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 Lol same here Hatrix I was saying the same thing as youActually in that comment I was going to say there was only one other guy I knew of who was saying the same thing. But I couldn't remeber their name. It was you though who was also praising the slower action rods I also agree it is your personal preference. If something is workin for you and you like it then go with it. There is no right or wrong way to fish. Keep trying stuff until you find what you like I supppse. I just got to a point where I felt I was missing fish. I would get a lot of really hard and quick hits where they almost take the rod or I would have fish come off when i really didn't think it shouldnt of. I just came to the conclusion I could eithet use a line like a rubberband or change my rod. I wasn't about to change my line so I started using a rod that me or most people I guess would of never considered for all kinds of things. Quote
