About this product
A chatterbait is the lure you reach for when the water is dirty. The hexagonal blade on the nose is hinged so that it knocks against the jig head on every beat of the retrieve, and the result is a hard, irregular vibration that a fish detects with its lateral line from well beyond the range at which it could see the lure. In clear water that is a bonus; in coloured water it is the whole thing.
Behind the blade sits a lead jig head with a wide-gap needle stinger hook and a hand-tied silicone skirt. The skirt does the second half of the job: it pulses on the retrieve and flares open when you pause, which is when a following fish usually commits.
It is made in five weights – 10.5, 14, 21, 28 and 35 g – with hook sizes from 3/0 upward. The lighter weights are freshwater bass and perch lures; the heavier ones will cast into wind and hold depth in a current.
In Tanzania this is mainly an inland lure – bass, tigerfish and Nile perch on the lakes, dams and rivers, particularly where the water is stained. Inshore it will take queenfish and small kingfish around structure. Add a soft plastic trailer on the hook for extra bulk and a slower fall.
