If you want to catch more bass, you need these chatterbait tips! Bladed jigs catch a ton of fish, and giant fish too! By changing trailers you can get a chatterbait to mimic shad, panfish, crawfish, and a variety of other prey species. Chatterbaits can be a deep rabbit hole but today our goal is to simplify. Let's take a look at the best baits, trailers, and gear to help you catch more fish!
The chatterbait is incredibly versatile once you learn to adapt your trailers and retrieves. We use 4 main trailers paired to 4 different chatterbaits to meet every situation we face. The chatterbait can remain a simple option in your arsenal, or you can start adapting retrieves from a high speed burn, to a popping retrieve, to a bottom hopping presentation, to take it to a whole different level! It's up to you, but either way you need to commit to the chatterbait this Spring.
Below you'll find links to the exact baits, trailers, and gear discussed in the video. We've included our favorite sizes, colors, and styles for every option. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Never fails! Every time I watch Tacticalbassin, it gets me fired up to go fishing.. you can hear the passion and excitement in y’all’s voice (especially Matt). Been following you guys for years, and I still get excited to watch your videos.

@dangerously72 Месяц назад

Same.....and then i go fishing and catch nothing but windburn....lmao. Of course, it helps when you fish lakes that actually have some Bass in them. Unfortunately, i'm in WV and our lakes are P A T H E T I C

@bobrhine9057 3 месяца назад

I've been watching you guys for about 5 or 6 years. With each and every video I am overwhelmed with your knowledge and with the knowledge you extend to me. You are totally relatable without being patronizing . You relate to the upscale professional fisherman and to a retired budget fishermen like myself. You are the best of the best. Thanks so much

@christianmullins435 3 месяца назад

I was literally one your website last night reading you chatterbait guide from last year because I'm shopping for a new rod, and bam I go on my lunch break and here you are with the 2024 guide😂, the universe works in mysterious ways🤣🤣

@davidhidalgo5662 3 месяца назад

You had me at chatterbait!!! I cannot wait to see more under water footage of trailers. I watch that first video of the trailers every few months a few times. You guys are the best. Thank you for all you do.

@wilmerpruitt6324 3 месяца назад

Thanks Tactical Bassin", you guys have NO EQUAL on the web for detailed tips and instructional information. Great one!

@chundle09 3 месяца назад

Nice to have unbiased tips man. You have no clue how much that means to us fans. Thanks for sharing always!

@McFish_Snatcher 3 месяца назад

Florida man here. Chatterbait is a must have for sure. I spoke with some r&d guys from zman that live locally to me. The coating on the Evo blades not only holds the glitter but its also chip resistant so it makes the base paint layer on longer. World of difference with those black gold red and orange blades.

@regenbassford Месяц назад

Thanks, dude I didn't know that.Appreciate it man

@Flyfishinfrenzy Месяц назад

Amazing video! Very informative on every aspect of fishing chatter baits. Thank you for taking the time to record this detailed video. It helps tremendously.

@ryancoulson2732 3 месяца назад

Best part of all this is the “start up speed” you mention. I’ve used knock offs and you’re exactly right, have to shake it or snap it to get it going. ZMan chargers are the best.

@Arientis 3 месяца назад

The jackhammer has been my pride and joy the past few years. It helped me win a club tourney 2 weeks ago by throwing that and a white mini max when the jackhammer bite started to go away. Most of my buddies refuse to throw the stealth and mini max, which is good for me, I’ll keep taking their money 😜

@BassHole_JBNT 3 месяца назад

Stealth blade is a secret weapon 🤫 🔥

@ratbird3290 3 месяца назад

The mini Max is incredible! I think your buddies need an IQ test. Lol.

@oldeschoolbob1022 3 месяца назад

Thank you, Matt, and welcome to Florida. What passes for winter weather down here has held on pretty tenaciously this year, but hopefully things have finally leveled out and you can enjoy a great angling adventure here in the Sunshine State. And wow, just looked at your subscriber numbers: looks like the countdown to 600,000 is well underway. Seems like only yesterday we were celebrating the half-million mark. Congratulations! Good luck to those who are heading out to have a go at the bass today, and I hope everyone has a wonderful Wednesday!

@cliffhemstock6963 3 месяца назад

After watching this tutorial, I threw a Z man jackhammer chatter bait for the first time today. I caught Four 4’s Three 5’s and a 6. 23 fish total today fishing all alone in the rain and driving wind. It was absolutely miserable. Best day ever! Thank you so much for the video Matt! I am a true believer in your channel. Can’t wait to start throwing swim baits

@jayteefishing1543 3 месяца назад

Got off work, watched this video and decided to go fish. Caught 11 in 2 hours on a 3/8 oz black and blue original chatterbait with a zako on the back. That bait combo just works here in Tennessee.

@BorneoFishStation 3 месяца назад

The new Metanium DC 2024 looks cool

@robfunke909 3 месяца назад

Matt I need a pressured water video & the different ways to approach it , living in the heart of NJ it’s non stop I’d be surprised if the lakes I fish were the most pressured in the country!

@collinvannotric1255 2 месяца назад

I’m pretty sure tackle warehouse has profited millions of dollars just from TacticalBassins videos alone. Thanks guys for fueling and encouraging my addiction to tackle haha, your videos have taught me more than any other source. Watching the new TacticalBassin video is the peak of my day if I’m not fishing lol

@DavidBronstein1961 3 месяца назад

Mini max has been fire for me on local ponds. And I learned about it from you guys!

@donnieblackketter7897 3 месяца назад

@efishnseetv2082 3 месяца назад

@frankcouste4785 3 месяца назад

We are in a beautiful time of the year. thank y’all for all the advice brothers. God bless.

@douglasspickler4925 3 месяца назад

Thank you one of the most informative videos out there. Keep up the great work

@MattWood-kz7ek 3 месяца назад

Another amazing rod for the Jackhammer, is the St. Croix Legend Xtreme 7’ MH Fast. The control, sensitivity, and action on that rod is perfect for chatterbaits.

@tonyb-50 3 месяца назад

This is the best channel for chatter baits. It’s my go to bait, and I still watch every one of TB videos on em

@Mjones8383 3 месяца назад

Stroking a chatterbait just like a jig will get you right with a big bag buring the late spring also. The Raid Japan chatterbait works the best for this around wood and mostly rip rap, it has weed guard wires to keep from getting hung as much. Premium hardware and blade to head connect

@makcatchem9614 3 месяца назад

Well by God, it's about time you guys mentioned the cross eyez in one of these bladed jigs videos. I've been fishing that model since it debuted. And it is my primary chatterBait that I throw. And I'm quite glad you guys haven't mentioned it till now because I never worry about them not being in stock

@Dmnazdaq 2 месяца назад

Great timing- one of my goals this year is to catch more bass on chatterbaits! Thanks for the links.

I never really used them not really confident but past few years been watching you guys I've improved 💯 everything especially locating them but I figured I'd try the chatterbait this year wow fun fun fun thanks guys for the tips and tricks

@jaredb9909 3 месяца назад

Thanks for the tips on chatter baits

@theoriginaltech019 3 месяца назад

I've been doing very well on the chatterbait so far!!

@shawntitsworth4878 3 месяца назад

Another good rod for bladed jigs is the poison Adrena 6’11” Medium + Great rod and it’s very versatile

@1Cast1Fish 3 месяца назад

It's fun to get creative with the trailers

@tjrou2005 3 месяца назад

Agree on the spunk shad and haven't really looked back since. Another I found is the Beast coast blade runner. It has so much action, like the spunk shad, but they are super tough.

@jaredb9909 3 месяца назад

I really like an old school single tail grub on a chatter bait it doesn’t interfere with the hunting action and on heavily pressured fish I feel like it offers a slightly different profile than what most guys are using

@FishingThePNW 3 месяца назад

I've been making my own custom chatterbaits for years but as soon as the queens tackle switchblade came out, I haven't bought another type of blade. I absolutely hated using split rings to the standard blades but due to this design, I can just use a jighead with a vertical line tie and it just works. The blade starts spinning immediately

@kensimpson8581 3 месяца назад

Love your videos, been watching almost everyone for about 3 years. Thank you for not making us pay a membership like alot of guys nowadays. I have a question, do you ever use the 4.5 spunk shad on the mini max?

@TX_TOAST 2 месяца назад

Just had my first chatter bait catch and is also my PB , so much fun 😎

Went out this morning with the Evo and hog farmer trailer exact colors as you said in the video and was catching bass every cast I made.. had about 4 between 18-22 inches and several other smaller ones.. I don't think I'll ever go out without a chatterbait in the boat

@CrackingBass 3 месяца назад

Love the crosseyez bank fishing, the TW exclusive custom is my favorite overall because of the value. Wish they had a stealth version of a non Jack hammer. Picked up a couple mini max, excited to try them this year.

@TomStarcevich-fb3qo 3 месяца назад

I caught a lot of big northern pike in Canada 🇨🇦 on chatter baits they work great 👍

@chadmichael2640 3 месяца назад

LOVE your Chatterbait videos! Esp because it’s my top technique for covering water and versatility. You mentioned experimenting new trailers. With all the straight tails coming around - would like to get your feedback on Zman’s Chatterspike? Is it a more durable Spunk Shad? Or just a less effective poser? Can’t wait to hear more from @tacticalbassin!!

@user-rm3yz2eu5e 3 месяца назад

@jeremyaslinger1808 3 месяца назад

I noticed that Hog Farmer makes a 3.5 inch spunk shad, i was not aware of that. Have you guys tried that on the mini max? Seems like that could be a great pairing. Thanks for all the awesome bass fishing videos!!

@kesterharding1819 3 месяца назад

Lets go TB family!!!

@fresnocascabel7571 3 месяца назад

The black and blue mini max with a swimon trailer has become the go to bait between my buddy and I. We've caught so many quality fish with that lure, it's become a joke that whoever throws it first in the day is said to be "cheating."

@user-pd3sv3ly4u 2 месяца назад

I really like the Evo

@c.shoefish 3 месяца назад

Great video. I definitely need to restock, this video was perfect timing. Man I can't wait to get down there, I'm waiting for my house offer to be accepted. We found a house in Soddy-Daisy, it's only 10-15 minutes from Chickamauga. Maybe I'll see y'all around! Great video Matt.

@tims_always_fishing7117 3 месяца назад

Just 1? Better go buy a couple more, they like to get snagged 😅

@vincentgelles3805 3 месяца назад

I fish a lot of ponds and obviously bluegill is the primary forage source. Because of that, I mostly throw the mini max but I’ve been having an issue with the snaps opening up on me. Is there a beefier snap I can use or am I using too heavy of a rod? I do use the same rod that I use for the jackhammer with the mini max which was a 7’2 mh glass Expride but I recently switched to the Loomis IMX pro chatterbait rod. I have tried changing to a heavier Decoy snap but they are difficult to change and I always feel like I compromise the snap getting it on there. Any suggestions would be helpful because I don’t want to lose a pb because of the snap.

@GregoryPotts-wz7mu 2 месяца назад

Matt - another awesome video from Tactical Bassin -- I see you constantly wrap your set up (rod/reel) line around one or two of your rod guides as you demo a tied-on set up, then go to set it back down on your boat deck -- I am assuming its all about keeping the line tight and not getting crazy while driving down the water -- can you go into some details about this, and other "boat management" tips for those of us that are new ( and maybe some of us who aren't new) to being on the water with multiple rod/reels, with full bait set ups? All tips are appreciated!

@zach8973 2 месяца назад

Good god I’ve had a fun few days with bass Geting on beds here in fl and throw a big blade (gill) over top . I think the big blade might be my favorite and wish I tryed sooner .

@chevydad83 3 месяца назад

Making the same face when that 11 pounder came out of the net. 😮

@mrstackracks1189 3 месяца назад

Yes the spunk shad on the chatter bait works even from the bank

@5.7.0bassin2 3 месяца назад

My fav color is that b-hite delight and now the hot snakes in the evo but I haven’t thrown it yet still cold here in pa but I’m not a fan of the gold blade wish they left it black or green pumpkin but we’ll see if it pays off

@gmoneyoutdoors1437 2 месяца назад

Love your videos. Been watching for years! Have you ever tested the berkley chigger bug? I pair this on a jackhammer and do really well in Wisconsin on bluegill lakes. Definitely also fish the hog farmer spunk shad as well.

@motowncooking6125 3 месяца назад

Perfect timing as I just bought a green pumpkin shad Jack hammer. You feel your recommendation of green pumpkin shad will work all around the country ? I was gonna go straight green pumpkin then I remember you same in the past about the shad color

@steveshepherd1046 2 месяца назад

Have you ever used the Strike King rage blade? I've caught some big bass on that bait in southern Illinois. You boys do a great job of explaining everything. Thank you very much.

@alvarotarancon4497 3 месяца назад

Congratulations Matt on your videos. Besides using it for fishing with bladed jigs, what else can I use the BJR883 for? Half ounce spinnerbaits? Swim jigs? Thank you and greetings from Spain

@nicholaszimmerman3355 2 месяца назад

@trentfindley7212 3 месяца назад

try a keitech shad impact on the back of a mini max

@jimmcculloch5825 3 месяца назад

I agree that yours is the most informative, and fun, fishing channel on RU-vid. The shape of the Big Bite Swimon would indicate that it should be rigged with the flappers vertical. Is this correct?

@aaronitchkawich3565 3 месяца назад

Have you tried the 3.5” spunk shad on the mini max? I bought some for mid strolling but plan on trying it on the mini too.

@A1K3NFISHING 3 месяца назад

Levante Braillest, that literally made my head 🤯. Thats the second time you’ve done that with a form of Braillest. I’ve almost always used the expride 7’2 glass. Recently started noticing something was missing when fishing heavier grass with the glass rod. Might’ve just found the solution.

@backwoodzbassin44 3 месяца назад

@matt do you run that paddle tail zako like you hook up the old kietechs upside down ? Or do they actually run good on the bladed jiggy??

@juicebox8560 3 месяца назад

That green pumpkin/chartruse jackhammer caught me my PB. Put a Green Pumpkin Yamamoto Zako on the back as the trailer. The chatterbait looks like a bluegill/sunfish swimming when it moves in the water. Mainly bc bluegill are darker towards the top of their body and lighter towards the bottom. Will always be in the lineup til the day I die.

@juicebox8560 3 месяца назад

I believe the color way is called Bhite Delight. Only reason I came across this chatterbait is bc of Matt. So thank you 👍🏼

@leonxie843 2 месяца назад

Sir! I know Jackhammer is always the top choice. But recently I got a Berkley Slobberknocker. By just one day try out it works not bad. I want to also hear from professional for sure as well. What do you think of it?

@rosscampbell4884 3 месяца назад

Of all the bladed jigs in my box the jackhammer is the only one that has never caught a fish. Do most of my catching with the original or a cross-eye
