To continue the conversation, what is your favourite trialer on a chatterbait and why?

Fluke. Big profile and it helps the bait skip better.

I doubt it. Was just at BPS at all three pegs of Jackhammers were sold out despite them being 19.99 when most places sell them for 15.99. All the cheaper chatterbait pegs were full. It's also listed as a best seller on TW. Lots of people are buying them.

My local BPS does not even have pegs for jackhamers

I just scored 6 original zman chatterbaits for $2.39 a piece.

Considering how many people here buy Megabass jerkbaits at $25 a shot and over $20 for a Lobina popper I don't think the price scares a lot of people away.

I know they are on the ban list but Dicks has Zman products buy one get 50% off the second.

Phenix Vibrator Jig

This looks like a lawsuit from Zman. Same blade and attached to jighead the same way.

Phenix was forced to stop selling them September 2011 if memory serves

[TownesZ21]

Benn out of production for years due to that.

Yup. that was my favourite as well.

Straight tail, or paddle tail?

I'm kinda partial to the Megabass Wild Header but it cannot be sold in the US and they are getting harder to get. Luckily I have a stash of them. I throw a homemade version too that is made up to 1 1/2oz so you can fish deep with it as well. They are about indestructable as well. He makes a killer buzzbait too that he sells but he does not sell his bladed jig. I just swipe a few when we fish together.

I use the Yamamoto Zako normally...On the big bladed jigs like 1oz and up I use a swimbait I pour.

Have had better sucess with SK Pure Posion. Have caught some big fish on the Zman just not as many.

[ToyotaKev]

Have become a fan of the Picasso Shock Blade as well...as mentioned earlier the FX is working for me right now

True South Custom Lures makes a vibrating jig similar. At least the method of connecting the blade to the head is the same as the Wild Header. Good quality baits too.
