The Indispensable Chatterbait


Chatterbaits, also known as bladed jigs, are revolutionary within predatory fishing thanks to their unique construction that catches little weed. This feature makes them particularly effective in waters rich in vegetation. Chatterbaits attract predatory fish through their nervous vibrations, which can provoke predatory fish into a reaction bite even on difficult days. With their jighead perfect for bottom fishing and their irresistible action, chatterbaits are essential for any predatory fisherman. Chatterbaits are often used for perch and pike fishing, but zander love them too!

CONSTRUCTION AND ACTION OF CHATTERBAITS

A chatterbait typically consists of a lead or tungsten head, a metal plate that creates vibrations, and a colourful silicone skirt that covers the hook and creates extra movement in the water. This combination of elements gives the chatterbait an enticing action underwater, which often results in aggressive attacks from predatory fish such as pike. Chatterbaits are available in different weights and colours to suit different fishing conditions.

HOW AND WHERE TO FISH WITH CHATTERBAITS

Chatterbaits are versatile in use and can be effective both on the surface and at the bottom of the water. They are ideal for fishing through weed beds without snagging, thanks to the protected hook position. For optimum results, use a chatterbait with an appropriate hook size and weight depending on the target fish species and water conditions. Mounting a shad on the hook can add extra attraction, but make sure the hook tip remains free for effective hooking.
