How Do I Fish A ChatterBait?

[Clinton john]

I have the zman chatterbaits, and only use one color white and chartreuse and use two diffrent trailer's both made by Mr.Crappie one has two long slinder legs and the other has two short fat paddle type feet both or chartreuse with flake.

 

I fish my chatterbaits anywhere I would fish a spinner bait or a normal jig.

 

Near grass, over grass, brush, logs, sand flats, points, open channels between two points of land that has some current where bass would run back and forth throw chaseing bait fish.

 

Hope this info helps sir.

I checked the blade and around the blade and it looked fine I don't know why it's not thumpin or maybe I was doin somthin wrong I don't know I'll fool with it when I get on the water this weekend. What kinda trailers do y'all use I have a Zman craw on it but it don't have that much action what's some good trailers that have a lot of action?

I like strike king menace and to rig it with the tail vertical instead of horizontal.

I fish mine with a slow, steady retrieve, even bumping bottom at times.

I'm gonna try putting some clothes on that naked rage and I bet it will be great in the grass!

Hey everybody sorry for not replying back for so long but I figured out why it wasn't vibrating I was tying it on in the wrong place lol I'm dumb but I was tying it to the head where the blade attached and it wasn't workin so after a lil while of it not workin and foolin with it I cut it off and tied it to the swivel on the blade and it worked but still haven't caught fish on it yet lol thanks for all of the advice everybody I appreciate it

The chatterbait is much like the Ned rig, you can't fish it wrong. I have caught bass slow rolling on the bottom, to buzzing on the top. Let the fish tell you how they like it.

WOW, lots of info to digest, so little time! Gonna throw it more, and vary the retrieve. The lake I mainly fish has zero clarity right now. Sounds like this should Excel.
