Chatterbait Fishing Made Easy! (Beginner To Advanced Seminar)

These Chatterbaits tips will help you catch more bass! Bladed jigs don't just catch numbers, they catch giant fish too! By changing trailers you can get a chatterbait to mimic shad, panfish, crawfish, and a variety of other prey species. Chatterbaits are an enormous category, but today we're simplifying it in a way that any can understand.

The chatterbait is incredibly versatile once you learn to adapt your trailers and retrieves. We use 5 main baits, paired to a handful of trailers, 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! It's 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.

Winter Jerkbait Fishing! (All The Tricks)

Jerkbait Fishing Is Easy... If you Know The Tricks! Winter brings a new set of challenges to Jerkbait fishing and you need to adapt if you're going to be successful. Slowing down and paying attention to your cadence becomes critical, as does the baits you choose to throw. Not all baits are created equal!

The key to cold water jerkbait fishing is cadence. Taking the time to let your bait sit still in the water is how you'll draw fish up, but it requires the right baits to be able to do that. Neutrally buoyant baits that can dive near the bottom, without sinking or rising on the pause are what you're looking for. After that, it comes down to color selection.

Below you'll find links to our favorite baits for this time of year. We've included our favorite colors for each, some of our favorite hook upgrades, modifications, as well as the rods and reels we rely on to fish jerkbait effectively. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
