Chatterbait Trailer? Swimming Fluke, Grub, Frog?

Featured Replies

Already have.  And it does look great, the way the tube tentacles flap and wiggle.  It ought to catch fish well.  With or without the skirt. 

Yea not a lot of people seem to use it. I like to use skirts when I want a larger profile and not when I want it smaller.

Do you guys leave the skirt on?

I always use a trailer but I like to take the skirt off and just use a trailer most in open water scenarios or rocky areas because I feel like with weeds/wood the skirt helps it come through better. But as a side note I will always use a skirt in muddy or heavily stained water no matter what for maximum water displacement and vibration.

Tubes have worked well as a swim jig trailer as well.

Basically you are limited by your imagination, find something you think looks cool or think would work and give it a try, it can be a lot of fun especially if you use something unique that works. Now you have a secret chatter/trailer combination and confidence in it.

 Well said

I tried a rage frog on a chatterbait and even a buzzbait once.. not the greatest idea

try everything if only once I guess..

I love using Gamblers flappy daddy on my chatterbaits, the way those claws flap behind a chatterbait gets plenty of bites.
