Removing the skirt from a chatterbait and replacing with a swim bait, have anyone tried?

Featured Replies

Has anyone tried this before where you take the skirt off a chatter bait and use the chatter head on your swim baits? How did you like it?

This is a video on the topic.

There are several guys in my local club who do this - I haven't tried it, but it does seem to work. Remember to get a good balance in your retrieve - fast enough to get the vibes going, but slow enought to get the fish interested.

Haven't yet on a chatterbait, but a paddletail swimbait/spinnerbait combo is a killer.

Whatever you do, dont put a skinny dipper behind a chatter head and throw it around weed beds instyaind water on windy days....just dont do it!

Yes, this just does not work at all. You will waste hours with slimy creatures and your thumb will be all chewed up.

Super glue the head of the dipper so you don't spend $20 a day.
