The chatterbaits I've bought so far come with a two-tailed trailer.  I guess it's a type of tube.

 

Is that the best trailer to be using with it?

I've found that the original trailer works fine, but sometimes switching it up can produce more fish. Try a fluke, trickworm, swimbait, grub, craw, basically any soft plastic and see what works best on your body of water. I'd personally recommend the Zman Razor Shadz: it's incredibly durable (still using the same one I put on months ago) and since it's segmented it's action is crazy. 

Pretty hard to beat a Zoom Swimming Chunk or Berkley Havoc Grass Pig for the price.

Basically any swim bait. I usually use a hand poured from a friend or some keitechs 

I will use everything from creatures to swimbaits. But one of my favorites has become a pit boss rigged sideways. 

this month i've had good success using as trailer:

- chatterfrog legs

- caffeine shad

- pit boss

- twin tail grub

i haven't seen much correlation -- using a small paddletail or a pit boss which is bulkier -- i've caught some small fish on the pit boss and some reasonable ones with smaller trailers.

Try using a Berkley Havoc Devil Spear. The smaller version fits on the back of a chatterbait very well and produce a ton of action.

Pitboss or Rage Menace rigged sideways, like this.

Zman Diesel Minnow

2/3 of a stick O or trick worm.

BPS Speed Shad or Swizzle Stick.

Mostly I use the Zoom Twin Tail but also use a swimbait.

Lately, I have been using a Zoom fat albert.

5 inch single tail grub or 4inch paddle style trailer.

This one but don't quote me because I will deny any involvement in giving away privileged information :

it will look like this:

But remember, I didn't say anything 

 

5" single tail grub is my usual choice!  Cheap and easy to source matching colors!

I think for me the best results are from the original trailer that they come with also a robo worm. I don't have much success with a bulky trailer.

Zoom swimming fluke and berkley havoc deuce

I didn't have a trailer the other day so i just cut a baby brush hog in half and cut vs in the little fins. Actually worked quite well.

 

 

Ive always been a fan of Keitech swing impacts but recently ive been liking the Bruiser Baits Evil Twin

You can basically use any type of trailer on a chatterbait....my preferred trailers are Reaction Innovations Skinny Dippers and Big Bite Baits Cane Thumper.

Rage Menace

Hmmm, I wonder if I could cut those Rage Menaces right down the middle and turn them into 2 dropshot baits...

Zoom swimmin' chunk, Mr. Twister Split Double Tail, LFT Live Magic Boot Tail Shad, or Missile Baits Twin Tail.

I also like the Lake Fork Live Magic Shad, especially without the skirt.

Zoom super fluke or Keitech swing impact fat.

FYI a Yum warning shot is pretty much what that would look like
