One of the things I committed to this year was to learn how to fish chatterbaits. I have heard that it should be fished when you would fish spinnerbait. What I don't get is that a spinnerbait is about as weedless as a moving bait gets. It slides through grass pretty easily. Chatterbaits, on the other hand seem to be designed to pick up weeds. The blade and the head form a v shaped shovel that seem to be designed to trap grass. In some grass, I can rip it through but most grass, I am constantly fighting the weeds. I find that I am fishing much higher in the water column to stay above the weeds. With a spinnerbait, I fell like I can be partly in the grass and still have a good retrieve most of the time.
What do I need to do here? I know that others and the pros are killing them on the bladed jigs.
