is anyone really catching fish on these baits.
is anyone really catching fish on these baits.
I've caught a few but not on the original chatterbait. There are some knockoffs that I think are better. I havn't caught anything yet on the originals.
As many people thatn are fishing them, the fish should be tired of getting pressured by them.with that being said... I just bought three yesterday
I have been catching a bunch of good fish on a pumpkinseed chatterbait! Went this morning and caught 7 fish compared to the other 2 people in the boat. They got 2 a piece. In the past 2 week, I have landed a 7.2, 5.6, 4.6, 8.9, and a few other fish over 4 lbs. I have been reeling it steady fast, keeping it about 6" under the surface. It seems to be a great reaction bait, and cathes some bigger fish!
I had to try them because all the hype, so I bought a few and caught a couple just fishing it here and there. I finally decided to give it an honest try, and have done really good with it. Right now it is definately a confidence bait for me, and it has replaced flukes as my #1 bait.
BTW, I went back to DICK'S and bought some more and they were getting low, maybe only 20 left. Hopefully they get some more in soon...
They have been the hot bait down here on the Tennessee river chain. I have only caught very few myself but have talk to some buddy's that have been doing well. I beleive later in the year when the fish really go after the shad this bait is going to kill them. Here's a question?? Has anybody out there been fishing with them at night yet?
By the way just bought some of the Orignail baits (rad lures) at my local Wal-Mart. it want be long and everybody will have one.
I have an 8 years old son and we have been catching fish on them. The other day my son second cast he had a nice keeper fish, I have used it at night and It works like a big blade spinner bait. At night I slow the bait way down to a slow thumping of the blade.
Good luck Fedxpress

I fished a black and blue Saturday night on KY lake. Caught 3 around 4 lbs each. Did better on a 7" powerworm, but did like fishing the chatterbait. The fish that hit it really did nail it.
