chatter baits

[budiva]

These seem to be showing up everywhere T.V. magazines, and store shelves. Do they work? There seems to be dozens of different styles/body types. I was going to buy a couple to throw at big pike this year which ones would you recommend?

thanks

I think if you tipped it with a larger trailer such as a paddle tail or a great big grub they should work anywere you would use a spinner bait or swim a jig.

I absolutely love them....almost more that a spinner bait

Hey I love chatterbaits. I mostly use them at my friends cabin that is a bass and pike lake no walleyes. I would say I catch more bass on them but I have produced great numbers of pike with some nice ones in the 32-34 inch range. I love to throw them with trailers that have two legs preferably double twister tail grubs. I like to use chatterbaits when I am fishing deeper water( seem to sink and stay down better) when I am fishing weeds or burning it I like to use the Booyah Boogy bait because it seems to rise faster when you reel. Go pick a couple up and try them out they are a great great multie species lure. I still prefer the single Colorado blade spinner bait for just pike but the chatter will get you into pike as well. Good Luck

I've given up trying to get bass on them, I can't keep the northern off of them...

what kind do you guys use? I see a 26 piece kit on hsolist, but i don't want to buy that if there are better options. I see Muskie Inovations has one has anyone tried it?

Funny, I was just going to ask the "what kind" question too.

I have a couple of the MI baits, haven't used them much, one night a fishing partner had one on the MI chatterbait and lost it as I dropped 1/2 the net in the lake......

i guess my secret pike lure has been discovered. I will not be giving away the color pattern though.

Love em, caught my first musky on one last fall, have a few smaller ones for bass. Great lure, awesome vibration. Great for night fishing

I use the Regular Chatterbaits that say chatterbait right on and I use Booyah's Boogy Bait which is basically the same thing. I thing the Booyah one looks better but Can't fish it deep as good as the regular chatter.

I wld like to try one for muskie. How do u fish them? Just cast n reel in? Or some hop-hop motionor reel n pause n reel?

Thanks

[Fishing_High]

You can do both I usually cast let it sit for a while then fish it like a spinnerbait But I have also cuz fish jigging it up and down with a slow retrieve.

[andrew chadwick]

Ive caught every thing on them. Ive even gotten into the walleye with them before.

[Fishing_High]

I could almost see you being able to get in to some walleyes night fishing with it. I love to use them night fishing for bass there is so much vibration that thing gives out.
