Bottom Bouncing with Chatterbaits

Chatterbaits, A.K.A. bladed swim jigs, are probably best known as a cool water bait or one that is most effective when fishing around submerged vegetation…



When used around soft forms of cover, many if not most bass anglers employ a straight or pulsed retrieve in the upper to middle part of the water column. More sophisticated chatterbait anglers may also use a “slow-rolling” retrieve to work the bait through bottom cover…

But did you realize that fluttering or bottom bouncing a chatterbait off the bottom can be highly effective too?

Definitely a new chatterbait presentation I will use the next time I am on the water … how about you?
