chatter baits

[billbo]

Has anyone had any luck on chatter baits. I was told told they are easier than buzzbaits to fish. Let me know before I go buy a tacklebox full. Thanks

I became a believer last night. We emptied the tackle box for the first 3-4hrs. My partner tied on a Booyah Boogee then we started to pick up fish. I didnt even have a chatterbait in the tacklebox. I will always have a couple in the box now. Seems like a great night bait.

They definitely seem to be low visability lures - I have had good luck with them in the past (but not lately) in muddy water.

They work, and in a lot more places and situations than many realize. Definitely keep a few in the box at all times.

How do you work them??  Just swim them back or reel or what?

[Evan Pease]

You can jig it, swim it, rip it, whatever. Let the fish tell you how they like it.

I just started really fishing them, I use the chatterfrogs.  In the short time I have been using them (a little over a week) I have caught 20 lmbs.

Chatterbait-style lures are very good fish attractors for multiple species, not just bass. I don't try comparing them to buzzbaits, they're two different lures.

Yup, him and his son have been killing them with the chatterfrog.  Ron was kind enough to give me one on our last outing but didn't get the chance to try it out.  Thanks Ron!

I bought a chatterbait and chatterfrog last night, how does he work the chatterfrog, on top kinda like a buzz bait?

[rondef]

I just throw it out and use a steady retreive and let the frog works its magic. This bass can't resist those legs and the vibration Andy, your welcome on the chatterfrog.  Now we need to go out in the new canoe and catch some hawgs with them.

Booyah Boogie Bait in Cortez shad is one of my go-to baits.

I agree as well. I think when everyone thinks of a chatter style bait they think it chatters across the top of the water. That's what I did. No it's more like a swimming jig that vibrates like a Rat'L Trap. I bought my first one day , actually I got the white/green Chatter Frog and caught a nice 21" LMB in clear water. He nailed it and a perfect hookset.

No it's nothing like a buzzbait. It doesn't even break the surface. You reel it pretty much just like a Rat'L Trap but let it sink and move around like a jig. It vibrates a lot and when I quit reeling and let it sink is when the bite happened for me. I think there is misconception out there that this baits are like buzzbaits they are totally different. Good luck on em, they work.

[bkoguy07]

Ah, I didn't know it wouldnt break the surface, thanks for the tips!

It doesnt fish like a buzzbait but you can make it.  When the fish are shallow try casting it and landingit slightly on the shore and burn it on the top of the water maybe five feet in and let it sink and they will nail it a lot of the time on the fall and if they dont just reel her back into you.  I have been very succeful with that method, just reeling it in, and doing a stop and go retrieve where i would let it sit on the bottom for a second and then rip it.  Rage Tail craws are exellent trailors.
