Top 10 Chatterbait Trailers Of All Time!! ( Underwater Action Compared )

Come underwater to see how chatterbait trailers really move! Chatterbait trailers are not created equal! Some baits look great on store shelves and terrible in the water, while other baits have surprising actions, you'll only find by diving below the surface and watching them move. We look forward to hearing your favorites as well!

We started with underwater footage of 50+ trailers before narrowing it down to this "Top 10" list. Do you agree with the list? Was your favorite missing, or in the wrong spot? A lot of these judgement calls are up to the eye of the angler, and now that you know what we see, we'd love to hear your thoughts as well.

Below you'll find links to the chatterbaits, the trailers, as well as some of our favorite rod and reel combos for fishing these baits effectively. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
