Gosh I remember when I first started seeing chatterbaits show up in the fishing section in Walmarts. I thought that it looked so stupid and I would never try it. It wasn’t until I met a guy at a Bass Pro Shop in Manteca, Ca who told me it’s his go to and that he crushes them on it. He even told me what his favorite trailer was, a Lake Fork Live Magic Shad Swimbait. This was like 2015. A chatterbait has now become an absolute staple in my tackle box. I won’t fish anywhere without throwing a chatterbait! Hands down one of the most successful new baits in bass fishing!
I have been wondering if having a trailer on my chatter bait would improve my presentation? now I know it's very important to compliment my chatter bait. Thank you Ike!!!!
Bro Mike great video brotha. Straight to the point not an hour long and very helpful information. Don’t get me wrong love the guys over at tactical bassin but sometimes they have 45 min videos when it really coulda been said in 10 or 15 so I appreciate that 🤘🏽
Nice soild tips Mike!. Sometimes with the craw style trailers, I like to rig them vertical so they move like a fish tail. If I want to cut the action down a bit I tare or cut off the top flipper so there is only one flapper moving.
Hello Mike how are you excellent video and great instruction awesome great refresher too on the use of these bladed jigs I know I love mine and Mike hope all is going well and definitely talk to you soon God bless you Mike God bless your family
Y'all should try the big bite baits Kamikaze Swimmon the action is freaking great and gets bit only drawback is sometimes the holes on the tails will get caught up in the hook but just fix it and don't trip just fix it and keep on throwing it
Quick question Ike i was reading an old article of yours about using manns soft plastics to imitate a dragonfly. Asking this early because i know were right around the corner from this pattern again. To say I struggle would be an understatement. What baits are you using these days to get these bites. Thank you, NEVER GIVE UP!!
I feel there are times when bass what the extra action of a paddle tail trailer. I see big difference when using a paddle tail over a fluke or trailers that don't give off lots of action.
I find the bass get lethargic in Florida once water temps get over the mid-80s. My best bite after April is early mornings when water is at its coolest. By late fall / winter, the bite is better in the evenings. I catch most of my bass in the summer in south Florida on finesse rigs - dropshot, Neko rigged, wacky rigged worms or Ned baits. Texas rigged worms and shakey head worms fished real slow also get bites in the summer, especially at night

Been watching this dude for a long time, I like the excited and loud. Come with it IKE. Appreciate you man.
NEVER GIVE UP!!!
Great info!
I use the rápala freeloader and spunk shad but will try your craw trailer recommendation 😉
I use Hog Farmer in bladed jigs and paddle tails on swim jigs.
Great video, learned a lot. Can’t wait to put this info into practice now.
The berkley gilly small size is an awesome chatterbait trailer
That’s a great idea!

Zman chatterzspike is the best not even a debate!!! You can literally only use one bait the life of the bladed jig
What water temperature would you stop using it, in Florida?

I wonder if Mike is ever not excited and loud? 🤣
NEVER GIVE UP!!!
One of the best because of the energy and positivity. Always fun to watch
Totally agree
Only when he's asleep. Great video.
Great info!
I watched an episode of Bill Dance he was catching fish on a bladed jig without a trailer tripped me out because he was catching fish
I've caught them without trailers, too...just like a spinnerbait, I NEVER use a trailer on a spinnerbait or buzzbait
Love Bill Dance however I believe he fishes a well populated bass lake for video purposes!
Im ready to see another Karen video around docks with IKE 😂
He edited out himself swallowing that bite
YUPP!
@@mikeiaconellifishing lol
How many edits does it take...the answer...? All of the edits
