The chatterbait, or bladed jig, comes in dozens of versions but there are only a few that stand out from the crowd. The JackHammer leads the pack but it’s not alone, there are a few key baits you should consider adding to your line up this year. When it comes to trailers, you have a ton of options! We’ve narrowed it down, and can show you exactly when to throw each style.
Below you’ll find links to the baits and gear in the order we discussed them. We’ve included our favorite sizes, weights, and colors for each and all the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of the items.
