Just received a shipment of 3 chatterbait elites in 3/8  oz. size. For a trailer, I plan on using Lake Fork Magic Shads. My question is, should I have ordered these baits in 1/2 oz?

When should each size be used?

Thanks.

How deep are you going to fish them? 

The only size I throw is 3/8. I don't like the heaiver size chatterbaits. 

How deep are you going to fish them? 

 

Well, I guess that could vary. I live on Neely Henry Lake (40 miles south of Guntersville).

This lake has a lot of docks  in 1 to 6 feet of water.

We also have rock bluffs that are 20+ feet.

I'll also be on G'ville in many depths as well - but the grass is in 10' or less.

Is the ONLY thing different on the bait just the weight of the lead head?

Only difference in the 3/8 and 1/2 would be the lead head. I use pretty much 3/8 exclusively however I do use 1/2 on special occasions.
