Over the years guiding and fishing tournaments in the northeast and especially on the tidal rivers of the Chesapeake bay, if you booked a trip with me or drew me as a co-angler in a tourney you definitely saw me with my half ounce Terminator spinnerbait in many a different blade combos and colors locked and loaded on the front deck of my Nitro.
In fact most, including myself, would say that was my bait of choice and a highly succesfull one at that.
However over the past few years I've had to make room for a new weapon in my arsenal.
In fact this bait has become my go to search bait in shallow murky or stained water especially on river systems.
This bait is the Chatterbait. I prefer the Z-man but they all catch the fire out of bass. Over the past 3 years I've caught bass to 9lbs on a chatterbait and so many 1 to 6 lbers I couldn't even make an honest guess at how many. This bait produces some of the most violent strikes you'll ever see. So give it a try you may just find yourself a new favorite bait. I have tips and videos at my site for this bait.
