    Great bait

    Zman makes a great chatterbait. No matter which style you choose they deliver bites. These baits can take a beating, bouncing off of structure and ripping through weeds and they can catch fish all day on the same bait. I also like the many different colors to select from and Zman has colors that you can’t get from similar products.

    Chatter

    I'm not a fan of chatterbaits. I do not find a big advantage between these and the expensive ones. I think this is the standard. I think if you have to get a chatterbait, it would either be this or the mini. The reason I give it 4 stars is because I don't really use chatters. I don't like the thumping or drag on the rod tip.

    Original Chatterbait

    Chatterbait works well and I already caught a 5lb spot on the orange craw. Must more expensive chatterbaits don't seem to have significantly better action.

    Z-man Chatterbait

    I recently bought 5 of these chatterbaits. By far the best brand out there. I've tried the Booyah Melee, Strike King's Thunder Cricket, but none of them have the action of this one. These are more weedless running through grass, they have a stronger vibration, and unlike the Booyah Melee, they do not roll. All the others I've bought either roll and do nothing, or just not do anything at all. And for the price, they are very good quality. Sometimes, I don't even put a trailer on, because of how much these do by themselves. Very impressed and will be buying more in the future from Discount Tackle.
