I was lucky enough to get word that our local Dick's Sporting Goods had just got some chatterbaits in - I promptly went over and picked up a few J...well, maybe a dozen....and Saturday my son Brett and I got on one of our good local lakes for a few hours....we didn't get any wall hangers but my son caught 6 15"-16" solid bass and capped off the afternoon with a 28-30 inch muskie - again, not a wall hanger but a blast to catch....we know that this lake has the toothy critters and that the chatterbait action would be ideal for muske/northern so we were fishing with a short leader which probably saved his chatterbait when the muskie hit...I caught 4 solid bass myself in that short time...the leader didn't seem to effect the bass results or the action. I would suggest making a larger size for muskie/northern/Canadian action. We can't wait to get out again...hopefully, I'll also be getting the lures I've had on order for a month soon - I understand that a large shipment is arriving in the near future. I told the folks at Dick's that they would be sold out in three days...I was wrong, they were gone in two!! Attached are a couple of pics - sorry, I'd taken the lure off the muskie before I took the picture - it was still in the net!!

I have been using the chatterbait for a couple of months now and I love it. The vibration is awesome. Two of the biggest bass I have caught this spring came on the chatterbait. This is the biggest bass I have caught this spring (5/6/06). I didn't have my scale with me at the time, but I would estimate the fish at around or a little under six pounds.It came on a white/chartreuse 3/8 oz. Chatterbait fished on a BPS Extreme 7' Crankbait rod with Pflueger Trion reel and 14 lb. Stren Original line. I caught this bass, as well as many others, reeling straight at a moderately fast speed. I have also caught bass using a pumping retrieve. Thanks for the great product.

Thanks for the Chatterbait. I am 50 years old and have caught a number of bass between 5 and 8 1/2 lbs., but thanks to the Chatterbait I have now eclipsed the 10 lb barrier. This 13 lb. monster hit a white with red Chatterbait in 8 feet of water.
Thanks

My name is Chris Mintmier. My friend and I found this lure at the fishing expo at the NC State Fair grounds in in Raleigh back in 2004 while I was attending NC State University, and we have never been more impressed with a lure. The action is unbeatable and the fish catching unbelievable!!! I caught these two bass on the 18th of the February 2005 47 degrees (F), wind blowing, and light rain falling and couldnt believe it. I thought I was crazy for being out there, but I caught two more about like it along with numerous small fish within 90 minutes after parking the truck. My hands were frozen but the chatterbait was still kicking. Thanks for an awsome lure.
