I just started mismatching my trailers to my chatter baits and I've seen huge success with it. Going with a light blue/green/black trailer on a white skirt sometimes gets them to bite faster. I think it depends on the fishery, but it's definitely been a revelation for me as a newer bass angler to not be afraid to try new things. Great video!
I've been fishing for almost 40 years and one thing I've learned is at any given moment, at any given time, just about anything will work and catch bass.. Brian, you're right on point about not being afraid to experiment and try new things.. Appreciate the video. Good stuff!
Here is SW Pa I typically run the ZMan Evos on 10lb fluro and have not had an issue. I use my drag and and not into tractoring fish it at warp speed. I sometimes do fish them on 30lb test as we have muskie here. Just had a guy catch a 44lb 51" muskie here in a spot below my home a few weeks back. I've caught bass on the chatterbaits on both heavy and lighter setups.
Great advice Brian. I going to try it without the skirt and also with some of the trailers you presented. I'm a shore guy who never caught any thing on a chatter bait and now I probably know why. Ton of info in a short video. Well done sir!!
Try doing the same thing but moving 3-6ft deeper. A lot of times they are starting to transition into deeper water. The deepest weed edges can be very productive. Drag a drop shot from deep to shallow until you feel the first weed wall and shake there till someone comes out to play.
I’ve been on the ZMAN Wagon for almost 7 years now and I’ve got just about everything, and love them all, but one of The Best Things ZMAN has is YOU, BRIAN LATIMER 👍✊🎣🔨🎣 I’ve picked up the skirtless Chatterbait for Deisel Minnows , I’ve learned more from you and Miles “Sonar” Burghoff and just another reason I respect and follow you.... MadRespect B-Lat ✊
Thank you for the information. I was wondering....I know your about to be super busy with the tournament...but is there any way soon you could do a video explaining your top 3 favorite baits and methods for each season? I'm a newer angler and still learning. Love your videos and tips!
this video makes me happy, because i was doing these things already. i just started throwing chatterbaits this year. i was doing what you described out of instinct. getting confirmation from a pro like you makes my confidence much higher.
What a VERY effective video. You discuss things in a way that ANYBODY can follow. THANK YOU for your insightful ideas in a great understandable format. KEEP EM COMING
I love the tip on removing the skirt, I don't know why I didn't think of it. I fish Lake Panasoffkee in central Florida, typically in 4 to 6ft of water, through a lot of hydrilla and eel grass, this tip should do wonders in this environment. Thanks for the advice. Thanks for the advice. #appreciative fisherman. David Sopp
It really do makes it hunts better! I found that out by mistake when my skirt fell off,kept fishing with it and I was like wow look at that. So B just gave me confirmation🎣👊🏿
Man you are moving up my list of favorite fishing youtubers. Super helpful video and you explain it in a way that I can understand. Thanks for the vid.
Skirt-less micro Chatterbait is ultra-effective and has been one of my go-to confidence baits. With this video I’m now inspired to throw the big rigs. Let’s see how it works! Thanks B!
Love the content in your vids... Always something new to learn, and usually ideas and tips that I have never heard before, and really work! Thanks for doing what you do! I am always excited to get out and hit the water after watching these videos. Keep doin what your doin B Lat!
that's true about the trailer . I was using the paddle tail swim bait and not catching many fish so I found some 5'' double tail grubs that were smaller and shorter and I started catching more fish and now I have more confidence in the chatter bait . ribbon tail and fat max worms , beaver style bait like my favorite D-bomb and sweet beaver and chatter bait and popping frog is about all i use to catch fish and do well
Great information, the application of the different types of trailers makes the difference! The approach of different colors I can see triggering a response from bass. Excellent info, thanks Brian appreciate your incite!
This was an great video. Lots of how to vids, not many on what not to do, especially for a new chatter bait fisherman like myself. these are incredible baits for big fish.
Great video. I like to use a zoom spinner bait trailer on the Jack hammer. It swims more erratically and hunts well. Also. It provides a smaller profile.
Yo B.Lat do a home boi a solid and make a video for a beginner fisherman on how to actually tie on the jack hammer stealth blade so I can be ready to catch these bass in mn in the month once this snow melts thank you, & good luck on your next tournament & if your ever in the twin cities let's link up & go fishing together..
Brian Latimer, when you jerking it out of the weeds, one time it falls to the left ( that was actually your right ) and the the next time it falls to the left ( better know to us country folk as the other left), I almost peed in my bibs laughing. Your videos are great and informative young man. Laughing with you not at you!
Great tips! However, in an open water scenario (no vegetation) high speed is magical. Legit hardest strikes I get are when the Chatterbait with speed shad trailer is ripping.
Great video man I have had a lot of success off a white chatter bait with a Googan saucy swimmer man I’ve caught them every where with that combo. I’ll start using other chatter bait trailers and I will try it with out a skirt next time I go out. Thanks for the knowledge bro👊🏾
Hey, just swiped my wife's phone and watched your video. Any way I did what you said. I thought outside the box. I cut the tail off a paddle trailer and replaced it with a willow/colorado #2 attached to a swivel and screw lock. OMW. Started with black and blu jack hammer with #2 willow at 5am. Finished w/ shad color at 8am w/ gold willow. Unbelievable. Thanks for your secret. Now you have mine.
Are there any size preferences for this application when fishing a chatterbait and removing the skirt and using a soft plastic such as a paddle tail? I mean I know you can pretty much use any style or size but I'm asking have you found any one particular combination that works best. Like a 3" or 4"?
B lat! Your the real deal brotha lol.! Born in Greenville SC! Out here in the Boston area now! Come on up and do some fishing would love to throw some line's with you ! Much love from BestCoastBassin! Just starting out my fishing channel as well. You've taught me so much dude. I watch your videos while I'm out on the kayak LMAO.
Best tip there is, is to leave it hanging on the pegboard and don't buy it. If you have already, snip off the tip and barb of the hook and dispose of them safely. Then chunk the rest as far out towards deep water as you can.
I liked but don't agree with slow rolling it is "the way" i catch em on a bad cast ultra fast retrieve and get fish landed. But I like the video. Bass just love em. But I don't like to drag em.

Love the advice on the trailers, it can make all the difference in getting a few bites and flat wearing them out. Keep it coming B-Lat!
Thanks Brian! These are great tips for the chatterbait. Definitely gonna try these next time out! Much respect
“Don’t be afraid to take that skirt off” -B Lat 2020. Lol
@Karson Jesus fake comment you’ll get scammed instead
If your scares go to chruch!!! Lol
Depends on how big she is
You got to take the skirt off then pop it in jerk It that's exactly what he said to do 😂
@@nathanellis914 big, small, B Lat loves them all lmfao

I’m gonna retire if I ever actually catch a bass on a chatterbait!
"Don't be afraid to take that skirt off! Im so using that for my fishing and to my wife! LOL
Thanks bro for the sound advice on a serious note.
Would love to see some tips for late summer / early fall fishing. It is a real struggle for me.
Try doing the same thing but moving 3-6ft deeper. A lot of times they are starting to transition into deeper water. The deepest weed edges can be very productive. Drag a drop shot from deep to shallow until you feel the first weed wall and shake there till someone comes out to play.
Edwin Evers has a channel and has been discussing fall fishing

Never tried ditching the skirt. I will next time I throw the chatter. 👊🏻
It really do makes it hunts better! I found that out by mistake when my skirt fell off,kept fishing with it and I was like wow look at that. So B just gave me confirmation🎣👊🏿
Tried to find other vids that show exactly what you demoed. Took several attempts at others. Thanks!

I never considered vertical management with the trailer in that way. Another eye opener. Thanks!
Great information. For sure try to change up trailers based on where the fish are. I’ve also used it with no skirt and had a ton of luck.
Thank you, just started fishing chatterbaits and this was very helpful.
Thanks for clearing up a lot of unknowns that I had toward chatterbaits.
This was an great video. Lots of how to vids, not many on what not to do, especially for a new chatter bait fisherman like myself. these are incredible baits for big fish.
Thanks Brian! Some really great tips on the chatterbait.
Thanks for insight as always B.
Thanks Brian
Even though an another comment on the skirt is quite tempting, I'd rather thank you for the tip of not being afraid of mismatching colors. Cheers!
GREAT TIPS, BRIAN!! I will be using these on my next outing. THANK YOU!
Great video. I like to use a zoom spinner bait trailer on the Jack hammer. It swims more erratically and hunts well. Also. It provides a smaller profile.
Black and Blue chatter with the punkin green craw!! Biggest Bass Iv ever caught was on that combo!!💪💪🎣🎣

I agree on reel speed. I think a lot of guys go way too fast with several techniques here lately
Great tips! However, in an open water scenario (no vegetation) high speed is magical. Legit hardest strikes I get are when the Chatterbait with speed shad trailer is ripping.
Great advice bro I tend to struggle with my chatter baits the most in the late summer heading into the early part of the fall
You are a very trustful guy
Great tips... I'll definitely be trying the no skirt trick...
The chatterbait has become my favorite. Been fishing it all summer and bass love it.
Thx and awesome tips. Will try them.
Great video man I have had a lot of success off a white chatter bait with a Googan saucy swimmer man I’ve caught them every where with that combo. I’ll start using other chatter bait trailers and I will try it with out a skirt next time I go out. Thanks for the knowledge bro👊🏾

Thank you allways nice to know how to fix miner problems thanks again
When the skirts drop, magic happens ;)
Awesome video, with some great tips from an elite angler. Thank you.
Great video good info., I always try different colors on my trailers too. I also take some skirts off buzz baits too.
Thanks for sharing!
The Master has spoken. Pay attention!

Kaltech ribbed paddle is great
Your the man! Info for days! Reliable, fast, pleasant
I’ve done well with a fluke as a trailer. Love the tip for using without the skirt. Give em hell Blat.
Thanks for another wonderful video, Brian. Great stuff. Don
Thanks..awesome advice
You didnt mention the rod u use. Just wondering what you use but i think ive got it dialed for the most part
Thanks for the awesome information Brain!
B lat! Your the real deal brotha lol.! Born in Greenville SC! Out here in the Boston area now! Come on up and do some fishing would love to throw some line's with you !

great video with out a lot of sales pump......loved it.( yea I saw all the z-man plugs...but you're not pushing it too much).
Great tip brother! Well explained. Keep em coming!
I've got what I call a u-haul movin out of state bait ....chatterbait with a tube with a 4" mr twister inside
I liked but don't agree with slow rolling it is "the way" i catch em on a bad cast ultra fast retrieve and get fish landed. But I like the video.
Bass just love em. But I don't like to drag em.
My absolute favorite chatterbait trailer is a Yamamoto cowboy. I've caught alot of fish on that combo.
Hey man. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and wisdom.
Thank you
I wish i would have seen this before i took a trip to chickamauga yesterday. Fishing without skirt might have helped me.
love to see video on jig fishing
Good stuff Brian. Thanks!!
Great info Brian! I appreciate it!
Thanks Brian 👍
Man to man I also like em with the skirt off also... 🤔
I think I might be the only person in the country that doesn't catch fish on a chatterbait.
Definitely trying the skirtless version though.
Yo Brian thanks for these tips im subscribed and turned on notifications i love your content and i really love your vids about fishing in the rain.
Great video... I needed it two days ago lol I was a straight rookie all weekend
So far I really like chatterbaits. I just need to figure out where to use them where I live in NC.
Hey man could you tell me you’re favorite way to rig a ned?
he has like 3 videos on this
Adam Schaum oh ok
Adam Schaum I’m a new fan so I haven’t really looked at his channel that much
RoxbiFN
Here ya go man.., he has more just type in his name and Ned Rig..👍🏼
th-cam.com/video/Qbu-eyW6Mlk/w-d-xo.html
I'm so trying it with out the skirt! Yes Sr!
Great Tips. Thank you
What is the better rod for the bait: Med. Power/Fast action or Med. Heavy power/mod, fast action?
How do u fish “heavy vegetation” with the hook exposed? (When taking the skirt off)??
thanks for the great tips ill be trying them in the bank tournament im starting on monday
Has anyone tried throwing a keytech on the Zman chatter bait? Specifically on lake Lanier.
I put a worm on a blue and black and caught a 6.5lb 21 inch LM
This man is a scientist of bass fishing
Awesome video!
I use a yamamoto zako..it is fire..or a yamamoto creature
My chatter bait blades stop spinning sometimes and I can’t figure out why, you know anything that would cause it?
Great !! Cheers from New South Wales
so if my pole is vibrating I'm reeling to fast
Which chatterbait is that? It looks good.
Wow the no skirt may be the way I fish a chatterbait from now on... I wanted a slower swim bait with lots of action anyway
What type of rod do you recommend. Not necessarily brand but length, power, and action?
