warrior1 Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 Will a fiberglass rod make a difference in my Chatterbait set-up? I am still building my gear leading up to my third year of Bass fishing (only buy when the wife lets me or doesn't know) and as I branch out to learn all the techniques; I have to pay more attention to the reaction stuff. Spinner bait, Chatterbaits, and Buzz baits etc. have really been ignored. I just noticed that I have two rods that are not being used, and frankly, I forgot I had them. I listed my Rods and if anyone could let me know which would make the best Chatterbait rod or if I need to go out and get a Fiberglass would be appreciated. The first to Rods are the ones I forgot I had. I was actually thinking of selling them if I need to go with a fiberglass. Shimano Cumura 6'10'' spinner bait. Shimano Cumura 6'8'' worm and jig Powell 7' Medium-Mod Fast tip Powell 7'6" Heavy- EF tip JB Custom 7' Frog JB Custom 6'10" Trick Spin JB Custom 7' ESP Rocket Lite Crank Phenix 7'2" MH-Fast tip Fenwick 7' MH-Fast tip Ardent 7'4" MH Mojobass 6'6" M-F Mojobass 7'9" H-F Thanks, Jesse Quote
WdyCrankbait Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 I'm a Powell rod loyalist so, I cant give an opinion on the other brands. But, I just picked up a Powell 3D Max 734 Saturday. It is supposed to be their Spinnerbait, C-rig, Topwater rod, and I think that one would do fine for chatterbaits. So, that 7' Medium Mod Fast tip Powell might be able to fit your need. Quote
Delaware Valley Tackle Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 A spinner bait Rod should do fine for chatterbaits. See the strike, wait until you feel it and set the hook. Quote
Rbm18 Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 What ever rod you would throw a spinnerbait on thats what I throw my chatterbaits on. Quote

I read so much on how to use the fiberglass rods for chatter baits that I was going to look for one. Looks like I have a couple of other choices too, that Phenix and one of the 7' Powell. Quote

I use a 6' 6" MH/F LTB for my bladed jigs and that's the closest rod I see on your list. I have tried a few different glass rods for them and did not like it at all. Quote
