Thanks for discussing this. Most TH-camrs when going over a bait only talk about weights, trailers, rod, reel, and line size, but never talk about how to actually fish a lure.
Everybody who watches and listens to this video will definitely catch more fish. There's not another channel out there putting out this much solid information.
I always hear people talking about the chatterbait but I can’t ever catch any fish with it….until today. I changed my retrieve from a steady retrieve to the hop and reel the drag you discussed in the video. Just like that….fish on!!
I just fished a chatter bait for the first time ever during an outing at my public lake in a park. I was on the bank and I actually used the technique you first mentioned where you pull with the rod tip and reel in the slack. I just happened to see your video this evening and l thought it was funny how you mentioned that. Before the only other way I knew to fish it was to jerk pause and or just slow roll it. Thanks for the awsome tips Randy. I’ve watched a TON of videos. Also, hello from a fellow Missourian! I’m in Jeff City.
Thank you for discussing the retrieve. I am a new angler and watch a lot of TH-cam videos. I see TH-camrs catch a ton of fish on chatterbaits, but I can't get a bite on them. The retrieve is the biggest peice of the puzzle that they don't spend a lot of time on. Thank you!!!
enjoy your channel and your input, been watching it for a long time, but I watch it every day on my TV and I can't comment, so I'm using my phone to make comments, keep up your great work it's very helpful for me as a kayak fisherman. it's harder to do big lakes from a kayak, so I'm using your advice to help me eliminate spots that aren't really productive. so thanks again buddy 👍.
Randy, ever since I discovered your channel about a year ago, I’ve learned so much and improved my fish catching tremendously. THANK YOU for making these videos! Subscribed a year ago and been a fan since.
These are some really great tips and other channels don't share this kind of information too much, that's what I really like about your channel!! As always thank you Randy!!
As soon as the water temps talk about going to 50 degrees I start throwing a chatterbait. A chatterbait is my go to search bait from then on. So I absolutely love learning new retrieves for a chatterbait. Thanks Randy!!
Adding a pulse to your slow rolling helps too. I prefer to sweep my rod three or four inches at a time, but you can just reel faster for a few seconds then return to your slow retrieve.
WOW!!!!!! THANKS!!! I've been just casting it out and retrieving it back to the bank. I even saw someone using one of the retrieval techniques you mentioned, and I laughed thinking that he'll never catch a bass doing it that way. How WRONG I WAS 🤨😉
Thanks Randy for that tip hey Randy that tip will make us experiment with those retrieves and yes Randy I didn't know about all these different retrieves fantastic bro hey Randy awareness , mental attitude, being quiet, thanks for spending the time to put all this together for us anglers great job the information is always key information on how to get a few more bass in the boat . God bless you and your family your pal fisherman Mike see tomorrow for mental Monday's .
Yep I love poppen chatterbaits I feel you need grass for chatterbaits to be most effective bringing it right across the tops of the Matts catching the tips ripping your bait out
Day time tips in the "Tackle Room"😁here's a tip suggestion😕how about buying fishing rods,Micro eye's VS regular eye's on a fishing rod. Which one better?You the boss🤓still loving the video. Come on 75k!!!
Good stuff! I have had great luck with retrieve #6, steady retrieve with random reel twitches. Those reel twitches with a fluke style trailer will create an erratic darting action. "rip-rip-kill" can be just deadly sometimes on those reel twitches.
I've had luck burning it so fast it's more of a wake bait. With the right trailer it will have enough lift to stay just below the surface and create disturbance on top the water. I've even had guys watch me catch em this way and come up to me and ask what topwater I was throwing.
Never thought to take the head off a lizard and use it as a trailer on a Chatterbait. I watch all these videos and in a few more weeks I’m gonna practice what you’ve thought me.
I have a question. How often, if there are no signs of abrasion, do you need to re-tie your knot? Can you keep the same knot for over a day? week? Also, when you put your rod up, you put the lure on the lure keeper on the pole, at the tip the line bends. Do we need to cut off the bend in the line? or is it ok to leave it on the line and fish? I have fished for years, and have always wondered.
@Shenk Fishing Say you go fishing 2 days in a row. On the 2nd day, if there is no damage to the line above the knot, and no apparent damage to the knot, do I have to retie, or is the nondamaged knot ok to keep fishing. And if so, how many days of out of the sun storage can you go before retying? A week? Longer? Thanks
@@rhmrtrt9672 it takes 30 seconds to tie a new knot. Do you want to break off the fish of a lifetime because you didn't retie? I retie new knots every trip and sometimes multiple times on trips if line has abrasion, or I caught a lot of fish, or I was hung up...etc. Totally worth it to me to take the 30 sec. Edit: if I'm fishing straight heavy braided line with no obvious abrasions, I might not retie. Braid is so strong
I have caught several good Largemouths using the pull along the bottom retrieve. Usually on rocky points. I use the real heavy 3/4 oz and up chatterbaits for this.
People say chatters work well in the south in response to my dissapproval. I just had to say nothing. The guy already said everything for me....."the south." I'm sure they work in CA, just not as much as you'd think. Well, I'd be willing to do swimbait versus chatter any day. Lol. Easy money.
It's not even that I don't catch anything on the chatter. The entire bait is whacked! Like the pull is nonsense. The trailers don't kick well....the hooks are too thick and too long, except minis....head designs are trash. Shirts are useless....rides high....what more should I say?
Iv tried to get into these videos but they are just to boring. And seem like most of the videos come out after a few other more known anglers post a video about the same thing.
Thanks for discussing this. Most TH-camrs when going over a bait only talk about weights, trailers, rod, reel, and line size, but never talk about how to actually fish a lure.
YOU SAID IT!!! Videos should just be called "BUY THIS SHIT TO MAYBE CATCH FISH ON THIS SHIT" zero information.
Everybody who watches and listens to this video will definitely catch more fish. There's not another channel out there putting out this much solid information.
I always hear people talking about the chatterbait but I can’t ever catch any fish with it….until today. I changed my retrieve from a steady retrieve to the hop and reel the drag you discussed in the video. Just like that….fish on!!
We ask and Randy delivers all in the same day. Thanks Randy your a good guy.
I like this type of video. Always good to see what retrieves other guy use
I love the fact that Randy not only explains the techniques but also explains WHY .

The world appreciates forty five years of bass fishing knowledge, this man speaks the truth, best of Luck out on the trail.

Never knew there were some many different ways to retrieve a chatter bait. Good stuff, thanks.

Thanks Randy. You added 3 more retrieves for my fishing trips. Great video 👍
Always a ‘master class’ with Randy 🐟🐟🐟

Thank you for this advice! Much needed discussion for chatterbaits. Not only for myself but for many other fishermen.
I didn’t know about the different types of retrieves. Thanks Randy for your advice.
Adding a pulse to your slow rolling helps too. I prefer to sweep my rod three or four inches at a time, but you can just reel faster for a few seconds then return to your slow retrieve.
I appreciate you sharing this. Waiting for the ice to thaw
Thank you thank you thank you. Much appreciated. I fish chatter baits a lot . Learned today.
Thanks for all the advice Randy... love all your "little" "rants" as well.. #doughannonthebassprofessor#. His 1980's videos have been a game changer!
I do a pump pause and hit em hard.steady retrieve quick handle pump pause repeat
Thank for all your help.
WOW!!!!!! THANKS!!! I've been just casting it out and retrieving it back to the bank. I even saw someone using one of the retrieval techniques you mentioned, and I laughed thinking that he'll never catch a bass doing it that way. How WRONG I WAS 🤨😉

Nice tips! Keep the videos coming. The different retrieves are a key element to making bladed jigs more versatile.
Thank you for the info. New to your channel but LOVE IT!! that was some great info to add to my arsenal.....
Nice video, got me thinking I need to ad some of these to my arsenal! Thanks Randy!
Thank you Randy, this is valuable..
Great information. I’ll put it to use. Thanks
Great idea for a video Randy! 😉 Really good information. Thank you very much. 👍👍
GREAT TIPS Brother, keep up the great job
Super Tip. I think this can work here in bavaria for zander and perch too
I just got 20 jackhammers for $5 each at an online auction. Always said I would never buy them but at $5 each it was a steal
Where at lol
@@jerrydeaton5778 well they are gone now but I get a lot of great fishing deals on hibid. Got to make sure they ship tho
Randy, great video..
Will help me alot
Thanks buddy now this really helped me I’ve gotten on a good bite during agresive feeding times
Thanks Randy! I needed this.
Very informative video.
Great tip
god i love a good pull n pump
Good solid info thanks for the vid
Great stuff Randy
Yep I love poppen chatterbaits I feel you need grass for chatterbaits to be most effective bringing it right across the tops of the Matts catching the tips ripping your bait out
This is how I lost my firecraw jackhammer to some milfoil last week😅 oh well still worth it haha

I have had great results on #2 and #4..
Btw my larger fish are on #5
The pull retrieve sounds alot like the old school Carolina Rig retrieve
The ole pump & pull
I don’t have much success with chatterbait. Got to get confidence in it
I ain't gonna pump or pull a Jackhammer from shore.
so pretty much throw it out and use any jerk wiggle drag pause yank you can to bring it back ?
I've had luck burning it so fast it's more of a wake bait. With the right trailer it will have enough lift to stay just below the surface and create disturbance on top the water. I've even had guys watch me catch em this way and come up to me and ask what topwater I was throwing.

Have you tried the Chatterbait Willow Vibe? If so, what's your opinion of it?
Sorry if this is stupid, but when you say “burning”, are you pretty much just saying reel it in fast or is burning a more intricate technique?
Like the thumbnail
Randy. Who do you think is better with a chatterbait Brett Hite or Sky. Sky Vardaman?
Randy what temp do you usually use your chatterbaits?
Its like a sinking square bill
when would you burn a chatterbait over burning a spinnerbait?
I have a question. How often, if there are no signs of abrasion, do you need to re-tie your knot? Can you keep the same knot for over a day? week?

What about chatterbait trailers? Do you have anything on that? If not, when are you going to talk about that?
We run lizards on chatterbait and pump it off bottom..
👍
I’m gonna try all 5 retrieves until I actually catch my first chatterbait bass.
When you going ,win won one
I have caught several good Largemouths using the pull along the bottom retrieve. Usually on rocky points. I use the real heavy 3/4 oz and up chatterbaits for this.
What weights are you using in 20 to 30 ft of water ?
1/2
Wasn't Rick Clunns win on St. John's on a spinnerbait?
He won twice there
@@randyblaukatintuitive He’s won everywhere twice hasn’t he?😃
It got up to 35 today, maybe someday soon.

A shirt will keep the sun off your back
We need stop and think about are retrieves. Casting and reeling will get u in bad habits. Is there a set retrieve???? No so mix it up.
Iv tried to get into these videos but they are just to boring. And seem like most of the videos come out after a few other more known anglers post a video about the same thing.
