Chatterbaits

[Fishing_High]

So what has everyone hear about the chatterbaits suppose to be a spinnerbait craink bait mix that gives off a ton of vibration under water. wanna know what u think and if it been succesfull for you.

northerns love them. Let me play out a scenario for you. (Crank Crank crank) "hey ike this new chatterbait gives off a ton of vibration" Oh yea theres one (now the snot rockets tooth is about to come in contact with the line) TINK "oh another 8 bucks why don't i just throw a lucky craft"

All joking aside i have never thrown one but it is like any new lure fade they come and kinda stick around. From what i hear lures that produce down south don't always produce up north. That is a hasty generalization but true sometimes i believe. ike

I like them in river systems but thats really about it... im not a big fan of them!!!

You should throw lucky craft... they catch big old bass!!!

They do put off a ton of vibration. And they do catch fish, you can also get them a little cheeper now that a few dirfferent companies are making them. You can also order the parts and make them yourself from stamina now I heard.

but yes.. fish it just like a spinnerbait or crankbait.

I personally love them. Even though the pike hit them, the bass love them as well. Used them often in tournaments last summer and caught a lot of fish, nice fish. They work from opening day on spawning fish through September. The vibration is crazy. Good fishin.

I've used them most slow-rolling like a spinnerbait down as deep at 10-12 ft and they have been pretty effective.

The one that I bought at the end of last season hooked one fish the day after I bought it... Unfortunately I didn't get to see said fish (I'm assuming it was a northern) as it hit, rod bent in half, drag started screaming, and then...nothing . The line broke and I was left to utter some colorful phrases . I picked up a couple over the winter though, so I'm going back to get the "big one that got away". I've also seen some nice bass pulled in by others who have used them.

I found that they have a place in the tool box last fall. Looking forward to more experimentation this season. I think the hype drove the price up a little bit last year. There are differences in the different brands as far as vibration, speed at which they need to be worked, component quality etc.. It is that time of year when we stimulate the economy with the purchase new baits we just can not live without

[TurnUpTheFishing]

I didnt try them last year. Figured I could wait a year and see what the general consensus was. It seems some people love them and others had little luck. Ive got a couple chatter blades made by poor boy lures that you can add to any jig. I like the idea of being able to add the blades to any jig color or weight.

Well I went to the gander mt in eden praire the new one and bought four boo yah boogie baits there version of the chatterbait. It's pretty interesting the hook has like a spring on it so when fish jump it bends so the hook won't release, I can't wait to experiment.

I have used them with and had good luck. I out fished my partner about 15 bass to 3 bass. I also found out that catfish also love them. [email protected]

I have read an article about chatterbait and also look at reviews at both cabelas and bass pro websites and found out that the booyah chatterbait have a slight problem

[Fishing_High]

So what have you hear what was wrong with the boo yah? it looks like a good design...

[terryt]

The eye that the blade is attached to likes to break during use.

[river rat316]

its not a small problem, they should pull it from there shelves, ya'd think a company as big as Pradco would do a little bit more strength testing
