Do Chatterbait type lures work...Heck yes!!!

After not going to the lake for a week,I decided I would give it a whirl yesterday. On my computer desk in front of me I had a 1/4 oz Berkley Jointed Blade Dancer that I was thinking about trying for the first time.

I got to the lake and decided to give that bait a try. Wasnt really targeting anything and just kind of casted randomly.

Hooked up on only the 2nd cast of the day. Good way to start a day,and gave me some confidence in this style bait,even though the fish was short.

Switched to a 3/16 oz Pure Poison and after a few casts hooked up with another short fish,but it came off at the boat.

Didnt get anymore strikes from these style baits for the rest of the day.The fish just werent there. I tossed Tiny Brush Hogs and boated 4 short fish,and boated 1 Green Sunfish on a Mepps ThunderBug Spinner.

So even though I didnt catch a bunch,I am now a firm believer in the Chatterbait style lures.They have their time and place.

They have alot of resistance when reeling them in,I was throwing some light ones. Cant imagine throwing a larger size. My arm is wormn out from cranking.Think I need a different gear ratio reel!
