There is a lure I saw at one of the fishing sites. I watched a YouTube video or two about it too. It's a surface lure that has what looks like a chatterbait clacker hanging off its rear. I can't remember its name. Ring a bell?

I don’t know if it’s the one but z man hellraizer is the one that comes to mind.

That’s the only one that I know of.

Maybe I'm just muddled, but I was thinking of a lure with a fatter body.

The hellraiser has a chatterbait blade and clacker on the back. I haven’t thrown it enough to say whether it’s any good. It’s a cool idea either way.

That’s what I thought, I can’t recall seeing anything else quite like one. I am sure there’s another version made by someone else out there though. 

Waddle Bat is the other one. 

It's a type of Japanese bait.  There are many of them.  The most well known in the US is the megabass gong or jackall bunny.  I like the imakatsu waddle buggy because it hunts sub surface

The waddle bat is a little different.  It has a blade attached to the hook hangar to cause instability and hunt.  The wake baits with the big blade off the back use the blade to make noise as the blade clanks on the body and sometomes metal nub on the body.  The waddle buggy combines both.

 

 

gong bait?

Shot in the dark since it doesn't really match the 'chatterbait blade' description...

 

 

And then there's this combo chatterbait/topwater. (love these)

 

 

Thanks for all the replies, guys. However, my wallet doesn't thank you.

I mostly fish it on the surface with the rod tip held high. Every now and then let it dip subsurface then back to the surface. Gotten some mean strikes on it. Pike love it, too. Oh, and one walleye who apparently identifies as a bass. ?

Those are some awesome strikes in that video for sure.   Thanks Matt Allen ?

The weed guard also lets you throw it in and around cover. I'll fish it thru spare lily pads a lot.
