In today’s Buyer’s Guide we’re going in-depth with chatterbaits, spinnerbaits, and a variety of trailers. We’re looking at the best baits at each price, the best trailers to create the profile and action you need, and the knowledge to put it all together. Chatterbaits and Spinnerbaits are both giant bait categories worthy of individual videos but today we’re rolling them into one knowledge-packed buyer’s guide.
When it comes to bladed jigs the most important factor is how quickly the bait begins to vibrate. Often the difference between success and failure on a cast takes place in the first moments when your bait lands beside its intended target. If the bait is working instantly, you’ll catch the fish, if not, its out of the strike zone before the blade even begins to wobble. Of course, weight, color, and profile are all important, but none of that matters if the bait isn’t functioning when it passes in front of the fish.
With spinnerbaits its all about drawing a reaction strike. While large blades can draw vicious strikes in murky water, many anglers overlook the advantages of smaller, more subtle blades. In today’s video we explore the best of both worlds to help you dial in you spinnerbait selection.
Below you’ll find links to all of the baits, trailers, and gear, discussed in the video. We’ve included favorite weights and colors where applicable. All of the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
