A chatterbait is a bass fishing favorite no question. However, when we start talking about trailers there isn’t really a good definition as to what trailer we should be throwing. Hopefully these tips and trailers help give you an idea as to what trailers to throw and when!

I wonder how a lizard would behave on the back of a jackhammer….
I've switched to the zman razor shad and haven't gotten a single strike on it as to I I'm using a swimbait I'll catch 2 or 3 on a chatterbait each time
thank you
Spunk Shad. Enough said.
Should have showed how to rig it but great video!
In summary you throw every soft plastic on the back of a bladed jig
Great information thank you
The ZMan Billygoat is a phenomenal swimjig trailer to imitate bluegill also and the buoyancy helps with the rate of fall
What is your rod, reel, and line setup when you throw a chatterbait?
Try cutting bout 3” off of a Zman Turbo FattyZ, get a nice tight wag, and ya can keep it high in the water column if ya want, just a killer trailer for not only chatterbaits! Love your content!
The Goat and Menace mimics the vibration that a bluegill puts out? I'd love to see the scientific study behind this lol.
Keep em coming!
It's odd to do but I've always kept my old trick worms after using and cut them down and split the tail on it and the action to me is awesome and on the finesse side if that makes sense lol
I fish a fluke and a spunk shad. That's all I need and they get bit
Great video!! Thanks for sharing!! Stay Safe & God Bless!!!
Couple of questions:
Can you run a split tail trailer on a regular 3/8oz Chatterbait?
What are your favorite Zman jig trailers?
What are your favorite Zman baits for Texas rigs?
