Smallies LOVE chatterbaits
Yep they'll eat em. Cant speak much on lakes, but I've caught a bunch on rivers throwing them. Clear water lake a skirtless with fluke trailer might be better. Probably fish it a little faster and deeper.

They enjoy them very much. At times it's THE bait to throw for them.

Which size and/or trailer do you guys recommend? I was thinking of picking up some jackhammers to try.
Agree that all bass eat them.
Here's a recent thread where a lot of us gave our thoughts on chatterbait trailers...you'll notice that there are a lot of different schools of thought, and in my opinion no "right" answer. Tinker around with them!

Throw one this time of year paralleling a bluff. They'll try to take the rod out of your hand.
My favorite smallie bait. I favor one with some chartreuse on them.
"The man of system is apt to be very wise in his own conceit; and is often so enamored with the supposed beauty of his own ideal plan of government that he cannot suffer the smallest deviation from any part of it…He seems to imagine that he can arrange the different members of a great society with as much ease as the hand arranges the different pieces upon a chessboard.” Adam Smith, The Theory of Moral Sentiments
Love em.
