I love my chatterbaits

There is a time and place for Chatterbaits.

 

And they do catch quality bass.

 

I suggest everyone give them a try this summer when the water warms over 70* and higher.

They're not just a warm water bait, both these fish ate one of my black and blue baits cranked as slowly as I could while keeping the blade moving. Water temps were in the high 40's.

We had a 100+ fish day 3 weeks ago, 1/2 of them on my home made bladed jigs. Water temp was 51, notice the snow on the riprap?

I mainly use 2/3 of a BPS 5 1/4" Stick O on mine, or 2/3 of Zoom Trick worm. The Havoc Beat Shads also work very at times. With my new bladed jig I'm building with the hinged head and 5/0 or 6/0 Owner Twistlock hooks I'm going to be playing with some other trailers. I see some baits like 8-10 inch worms and hollow belly swimbaits being a real viable option as a way to present those baits in a way fish have never seen before.

Sounds like a solid design, I love the idea of using it as a tool to present soft plastics in a way they haven't been seen before. I can't speak for what the up front costs would be but it sounds like you're onto something that would sell!

They're an interesting idea for sure!

My regular bladed jigs have received some serious revamping the last couple weeks also, even gone as far as to make some with 5/0 Trokar hooks
