So last winter I bought a bunch of different weight chatterbaits for fun fishing in the north river. Charteuss in color

What a great looking bait. Casts far nice blade wobble. Vibrates like a Bastid etc.

Threw it all around the place when I know fish were there. And I caught nothing on the bait that looked to me would be killer. Was disappointed.

I can only think that what they were feeding on wasn’t a good match.

Used by the redfish guys. Thought it had to be good?

Any of you throw chatterbaits for stripers?

I am trying to think of the loaded plastics which were pretty good down of f the Elisabeth's years back (damn that sounds old??).

Squat popper / rattler but you are talking more of a spoon, right?

Type in chatterbaits on basspro

Simple bucktail jig type with rubber skirt and a wobble blade in front
Single hook.

I think it’s pissah little lure.

Chatterbaits are primarily designed for freshwater bass and I’ve used them in freshwater and having experimented with spinnerbaits (similar construction) for stripers years ago; I think they would be destroyed.

I have not tried them on stripers but when I was in Florida 2 years ago fishing backwaters for snook, cuda and jacks one of the guys in my group was hammering all three on chatterbaits. He was a bass/walleye guy from the midwest and said he's caught just about every species he has ever targeted on them both fresh and salt.
