Haven' tried them yet/ I have a few of the Zman micro and mini chatters and it is about 50/50 on them running well. Oddly, I have noticed that they EDIT give me a bad rash in the jock-area EDIT, far more than they do bass. 1 Quote

Don't put the trailers on them that comes with them and don't fish them on anything heavier than 4lb test and use a very slow retrieve. I either use part of a trout worm, or tie some yarn on for a trailer. 1 Quote

SummertimeCarl Posted September 20, 2017 Posted September 20, 2017 Yarn is a funny but great idea for a chatterbait trailer. I use 1/2oz for castability. Anything lighter with a trailer of any size stays too high up in the water column for me. I switched to using little grubs for the trailer but I may actually try the yarn trick. Quote

These have the magnum blades and are 3/4oz heads. Had some fish slam them yesterday. That clear/black/pumpkin looks killer. I wish I had a few of those skirts. Quote
