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.
