Description

An energetic ChatterBait® trailer design, the slim baitfish-profile ChatterShad™ sports a broad, razor-thin fan tail that enables its authentic tail-flapping action—augmented by its soft ElaZtech® composition and slender segmented baitfish body. The ChatterBait trailer’s diamond shaped cross section increases energy transmission from ChatterBait vibration, further enhancing bait action. Pronounced V-shaped ridges on top and bottom tail surfaces increase water displacement and quivering motion. Malleable superplastic material elevates bait action and freedom of movement while simultaneously withstanding the abuse of countless strikes, hooksets and big bass battles. To ease weedless rigging, the ChatterShad sports dorsal and ventral hook slots. The 4.5” inch size (4 per pack) is a perfect match for all standard bass sized ChatterBait bladed jigs, while a downsized 3.5” size (5 per pack) fits compact bladed jigs like the ChatterBait® MiniMax™. The ChatterShad also shines when fished on a jighead or swimbait hook for a variety of other fishing applications. Fantail baitfish profile designed for use as a ChatterBait® trailer, but also ideal for a variety of other applications Segmented body and tapering tail with diamond-shaped cross section increase energy transmission from ChatterBait® vibration, enhancing bait action Pronounced V-shaped ridges on top and bottom tail surfaces increase water displacement and quivering motion Constructed from 10X Tough ElaZtech® superplastic for extreme durability Dorsal and ventral hook slots for easy weedless rigging 4.5” size (4 per pack) pairs perfectly with standard bass-size ChatterBait® bladed jigs, 3.5” size (5 per pack) matches smaller bladed jigs like the ChatterBait® MiniMax™

Field Notes

This is a soft-plastic trailer designed primarily to pair with ChatterBait-style bladed jigs, where its tail-flapping action amplifies vibration and adds bulk to the presentation. It can also be rigged on a jighead or swimbait hook when you want a baitfish profile with extra movement around grass, docks, or open-water cover.

Pros

  • Excellent ChatterBait trailer with strong tail action
  • Soft ElaZtech material is highly durable
  • Hook slots make weedless rigging easier
  • Versatile on jigheads or swimbait hooks

Cons

  • Not a standalone lure; needs a jig or hook to fish effectively
  • Best use is as a trailer, so it may be less versatile than a full bait
