BUYER'S GUIDE: CHATTERBAITS, SPINNERBAITS, AND BEST TRAILERS

Are you interested in chatterbaits and spinnerbaits? Today's video is all about cutting through the hype to find the best baits and trailers so you can catch more fish. We've tried dozens of different lures and narrowed our selection down to the very best. These are the exact baits and colors we trust when we go fishing. 

When it comes to chatterbaits there are 3 main considerations. You need to look at the quality of the hook, the quality of the snap, and the time it takes for the blade to start vibrating. With spinnerbaits, its about the quality of hook, type of skirt, and diameter of wire. Subtle differences in material have huge repercussions with these baits. 

Below you'll find links to our favorite chatterbaits, spinnerbaits, and trailers. We've included our favorite colors for each, as well as the rods and reels we use to fish them. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
