Chatterbait Fishing – Everything You Need To Know! (UNDERWATER FOOTAGE)

If you're a serious angler, you need to fish a chatterbait! These bladed jigs catch a ton of fish, and they catch giant bass too! By changing trailers you get get a chatterbait to mimic shad, panfish, crawfish, and a variety of other prey species. You can keep it simple, or follow us down the rabbit hole as we explore chatterbait trailers, colors, retrieves, study underwater footage, and more. Let's go! 

The chatterbait is incredibly versatile once you learn to adapt your trailers and retrieves. We use 4 main trailers paired to 4 different chatterbaits to meet every situation we face. The chatterbait can remain a simple option in your arsenal, or you can start adapting retrieves from a high speed burn, to a popping retrieve, to a bottom hopping presentation, to take it to a whole different level! Its up to you, but either way you need to commit to the chatterbait this Spring. 

Below you'll find links to the exact baits, trailers, and gear discussed in the video. We've included our favorite sizes, colors, and styles for every option. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

This Shallow Water Trick Catches GIANT Bass! (2 Bass For Over 20 lbs!!!) 😎

We're heading shallow! Come along as we search the shallows for bass that are making early moves toward the prespawn. SPOILER ALERT: IT WORKS!!! You're about to witness a beat down as we catch bass after bass, up to 11 lbs!!! This time of year can produce giants if you're willing to pursue them!

So many anglers forget to adapt with the seasons. We're constantly pushing the envelope and searching for fish that are moving ahead of the norm. In this case, it involved moving shallow despite cool conditions. It payed off in a huge way! We started off catching big bass with squarebills and paddle tail swimbaits, then ended it with GIANT BASS on chatterbaits!

Exploring A New Lake! (Bass Fishing In A Swamp)

Come along for a day of bass fishing in a swamp! We're out on the road exploring new lakes and we've found ourselves in the middle of a Southern cypress swamp. Watch as we break down this diverse fishery and catch bass amongst its endless grass lines and fields of standing timber! 

Its rare to see Tim and Matt slow down and fish with plastics. Today is very much a traditional bass fishing day as the duo do all their damage with plastic worms. While they got bit on a handful of reaction baits, Matt caught his fish with a big curly tail worm and Tim found success with a shaky head. 

Below you'll find links to the exact baits the guys were fishing, as well as the rods and reels they were using to present them effectively. We've also included their terminal tackle, bait colors, and any other pertinent information. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
