I put the Berkley Gilly as a trailer on a chatterbait…worked pretty good…bulkier profile
Or just use the crosseye chatterbait with the weed gaurd wires.
Great tip 👍
Fishing is the DEAL. Go get some 💪🎣🫵
I know they were designed as trailers but Zakos are awesome as a swimbait on a 3/0 weighted spring-lock EWG.
couldn't you just rig the zako like the beaver?
Pretty solid tip, but I'm gonna have a hard time letting go of my Razor Shadz and ChatterSpikes!
Hook the Zako thru the side instead of the top and problem solved.
Worked for me anyway
I use a Yum swimming dinger, Zoom speed worm, or even a Trick worm with the tail split. Less profile allows the bait to come through cover and weeds better and lets the bait run a little bit deeper.
I still have not ever caught a fish on a chatterbait
Great advice. Thanks! Enjoying your new channel. Keep on killing it with the info!
#awesome info brother. Thanks Ty!!!💪
Wow, this should help me a lot, chatterbaits can be really expensive, so hopefully this should save me some, while also catching more fish!
I would just speed up my retrieve.
IKon = $100,000 plus bass boat
Excellent tip. I started after I saw your HQ video. Keep them coming
Instead of a beaver bait, try the Geecrack Bellows Shad as a trailer, has the flat belly to keep it from rolling but has an added tail action that is amazing , also helps with ticking your chatterbait off the top of grass
Baby D-Bomb is a great trailer . Use it on a Zman Crosseye and you almost never get hung up coming over wood
what's the difference between this channel and bassfishingHQ?
"See how it's already wanting to roll"…as you manually roll the chatterbait on it's side. And then with the beaver trailer, you can clearly see you're not allowing it to go on it's side like you did the swimbait trailer. These channels need to stop spewing BS just to have content.
Haha 😂 priceless I figured you might be doing a chatterbait video right after I last comment on your previous vid! Also I would recommend the cross-eyed chatterbait by ZMan paired with the brand new “Crush-City” crawler trailers by Rapala…the wire weed guard prevents hang ups and the crawler trailers help the vibrating jig from rolling and snagging on limbs or logs 🪵.
Do u ever snip about ⅜ off the nose of your trailer to shorten the length up a bit? Just wondering, I do on the rage claws.. (I think that's their name, there's so dang many different names, I'm still trying to learn them all…)
So who makes a flat bait with zako tail??
Always great tips!
What chatterbait do you guy think is best in open water? I troll open water for trout, and chatterbaits are very effective in that application, but which one is best? Thanks
Ya always have great info. Here's the thing though. That Bugatti of Bass Boats doesn't go well with the "Uncle Bobby" camp chair. Maybe upgrade your chair…. lol. My comment is meant in good fun. Keep up the great work.
Bass pro shops sell their own brand of a bladed jig called an “Enticer”. It has a vibrating jig type of head and blade, but it has a swing head style of hook connection with an 4/0 EWG hook. Its not super expensive either. It does ok in wood especially when compared to a typical Chatterbait.
I want to see a mix of a flat bodied bait with either a straight tail like say a spunk shad or a boot tail like a Keitech very niche bait but it could be good, also and alternative to this problem is the chatterbait crosseyez by Z-Man the biggest thing I have against it is the components are not as good as a jackhammer
I love fishing a bladed jig in timber and laydowns, but I never use a Keitech-style swimbait. Normally, I prefer a fluke-type trailer with little to no kick. Try it one time and just look at the difference how your bladed jig moves in the water. Around timber, I like a Jackhammer Stealth with a Missile Baits D-Bomb as a trailer.
The zman crosseyez has a weedguard and when combined with your tip, I run them through wood and brush piles. I made it through all last season and only lost one crosseyez. The crosseyez is my main zman chatter bait from the bank. I don’t know why zman just doesn’t add the wire guards from the crosseyez to all of their chatterbaits? They can always be pulled out if you prefer not to have the weed guards … if your willing to try a different brand, Picasso’s heavy cover vibrating jigs have weed guards and are beefier than the crosseyez. I have an entire box for the crosseyez and Picasso heavy cover. Whereas, I only have 4 mini maxes and 4 evos on hand which only get used in open water, grass situations.
Turn that zako sideways. Does the same thing and still has that bait fish action
I've been using slobber knockers a lot as well and I have noticed that it doesn't get hung hardly at all around wood. And I believe it's because of the blade and head design. The way the blade pinned through the head keeps it from rolling. And for the chatterbait junkies out there, I'm not saying that one is better than the other. I use both and have caught tons of fish on both. Just making an observation.
Love this video!🔥🔥
Great tip. Keep it up. 👍🇺🇸
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I Make My Own I Make My Chatterbait With Weed Guards BUT I Don't Use The Standard Stranded Weed Guards I Use an Old School Weed Guards That I Can Only Get From One Place
Great tip, thank you !
Can You pls make a video on how to fish a lake that has lots of ducks
Great video!!! Awesome tip!! Thanks for sharing!! Stay Safe & God Bless!!
