Chatterbaits & spinnerbaits

Chatterbaits and spinnerbaits are baits that create a lot of movement and vibration in the water. They are often used when you want to trigger a bite, especially in murky water or when the fish are actively hunting. A chatterbait has a metal spoon at the front that beats and vibrates, while spinnerbaits use rotating blades that provide shine and movement.

Both types are usually fished with a steady retrieve but can be varied in tempo to change the pace. The construction means that they work well in vegetation without getting stuck as easily. These are baits that are suitable when you want to search the water and find active fish.

Tip! You can also put a rubber jig on the hook, with or without cutting it down, to get more movement and extra weight in the bait. During late summer and when the water is a little warmer, chatterbaits can deliver really big perch.
