Don't discount the chatterbait mini flashback,on a med/light spinning rod with 6lb braid n a leader,the vibration is crazy n I catch really nice bass n lots big crappie, catfish ,walleye, big white perch ,it's a machine, my other favorite is size you featured
I've been using a bladed jig as a replacement for a square bill in natural grassy lakes in upstate NY for years with incredible success due to it's "weedlessness". But have recently found it works just as well for smallmouth in rocky lakes. The smallmouth tend to follow it and not necessarily hit the bait during a steady retrieve as opposed to largemouth. So now I kill the retrieve and let it fall to the bottom and hop it a few times and the smallmouth crush it as it hops up and falls again!
I caught my 1st few fish on a chatterbait on a rainy day. This was 2 years ago. Have never caught another fish on a chatter since 😢
Nrx+854 works for heavy cover
It's a hit and miss for me usually get one or 2 but quality fish
I love the jack hammer. But hard for me to catch fish with it. Got 300 dollars worth.
Spot on with the rod choice. Use a St. Croix “Rip N/Chatter” rod with 17/20lbs mono and have a great hookup ratio.
I was one of those “I don’t catch them on a chatterbait” guys. My tip to everyone, find a fishing day that has a little wind and a little cloud cover and just lock it in your hands . That was how i gained confidence in the bladed jig and it’s paid off in tournament fishing.
Tyler, I am your target audience on this one, but you've done it. I will rig it up again and try with a different mentality. Wish me luck and sanity.
I have my pb on one and still feel like i struggle to know how to fish it
“go somewhere you can get bites” brother that’s why im here 😂
Why such large flouro for the mini max? To rip it through grass if it gets hung?
I have the original chatterbait not the minimax?????
The Mini Max has been my go-to for the past 2 years. The pearl ghost color is absolute 🔥
Hey Tyler. Do you crank your drag down for smallies, or let them pull drag? Do you find you pull the hooks when you crank the drag even when you use flouro and glass/composit rods?? I’ve lost several huge smallies on the graphite with flouro so I just purchased my first composite rod. Thanks
I use the 3.5 inch Hog Farmer spunk shad on all my mini max chatterbaits, and the 4.5 inch on the regular size chatterbaits
ChatterBait stealth in 42-45° water
I though I had subscribed a while ago. Well, I was wrong! I appreciate, really appreciate you honest, straight forward info and delivery of opinion. Solid info,, great indept pursuit of knowledge for us non tournament fisherman! Love your content!
Is a 1/2oz min max to heavy? Also can i used regular sized trailers (3-4in) or should i get smaller
100% agree on your advice about rod. Changed my mind about chatter bait when I got a specific rod for it.
ALX makes a great one.
Kept my confidence in the chatter for about 3 months and jus last Friday I got my pb on it 🫡
I have go to where I never go without a evo or a thunder crickets tied up depending on conditions and if I’m not getting bit it pick one up and start getting bit
I think down sizing the bait is the best idea for newcomers wanting to try it out or just get some confidence using it, or even on heavily pressured waters where the bass have seen most every bladed jig on the market wiz past there face to the point they ignor them , such is the case where I live here in CA fishing the delta . I use a z-man mini chatter for BFS no skirt and a roboworm shad , and catch fish in an area I passed through with a normal or common sized bladded jig. With that said, I personally pick a spinnerbait over a bladed jig only for the above statement. The fish have seen them all and see them all day long. At least out here in the Californian Delta.
I bought a Mini Max, put on a Hog Farmer's Spunk Shad and, I have proceeded to catch zero fish with it. Not even a bite. I'll stick to my swim jigs!
I’ve got a question, would definitely enjoy your input. I love the chatterbait, agree with all points made. I did fish it on my jig setup on 20lbs fluoro invizx but I fish a jig a lot also. To avoid swapping out constantly I put it on a backup rod. It’s got 15 lbs copolymer, I noticed my hookup ratio increased. Prefer it over straight mono so I was sold on this but copolymer frays super easy. I retie after 1-2 fish so I’m back to square one. Any line suggestions for copolymer that’s more fray resistant? I’m currently using Yo-Zuri Hybrid. If it brushes up against a stick, it over. Chatters cost too much to break off constantly. Did I miss the copolymer shootout?
I love the mini max. I throw it on a 7'3" mh fast with 14# mono with no issues. I've have great success with use the bass pro split tail stick-o
Personally I like a graphite rod as long as it’s got a more moderate action . 7’3” mh fast but a more parabolic bend seems to work well . A small curly tail grub on a minimax works really well for a trailer too
Lake Erie has been very good to me with the chatterbait. It has helped me understand a little more.
The Omnia site says the 7’4” composite rod is no longer available.
I've been trying to fish chatterbaits because of your channel! But one thing I'm unclear about is, what are you supposed to feel when you're fishing a chatterbait correctly? I cast mine out there and let it sink, then lift the rod at a speed such that I can feel the chatterbait vibrating in the water. This feels to me like I'm going too fast, and when I see guys fishing chatterbaits on YouTube, you guys seem to be retrieving much slower than I am, which makes me think maybe it's not necessary to feel the chatterbait vibrating in the water, that it can feel like nothing and be working perfectly fine. I hope I explained my question clearly haha! I've been dying for an answer to this question but no one covers this. Thanks, Tyler! Love both your channels!
Hey man! Any specific reason you went with the B-Hittay over a Heavy/Moderate Slow like the Evergreen Combat Stick?
Any specific color for the trailer down here in florida?
The right trailer will make a chatter bait dance , also quarter or half reel turns thru out the retrieve and lastly just a simple twitch or jerk of the rod
I fish a chatterbait from ice out to ice in crush them everyday on it favorite bait to throw🎣 but I use a 7”4 M/H fast 90% of my bites knock slack in my line I feel everything going on hookset always in the upper part of the mouth pin them and crank 🎣🎣🎣
Got a nice sunglass tan going on there my guy!!! That's how you know you putting in the work!
