Tpreston Posted July 7, 2023 Report Share Posted July 7, 2023 See what y’all think. Swimbait fish or not? Not a big one by any means, but caught it on a chatter bait big blade with a 6” mag freestyle trailer. Y’all countin it? jachandl1989, CG_Fishes and Mossyback Angler 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mossyback Angler Posted July 8, 2023 Report Share Posted July 8, 2023 Not sure what to make of that combo of bait and trailer, but it sounds intriguing I’ll say that. Do you count it as a swimbait fish yourself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you count it as a swimbait fish yourself? It worked out pretty good in the end, doesn’t look too bad honestly. And idk man I feel like technically it is but it isn’t at the same time. If I didn’t have it on a chatterbait it’d be a 6” mag swimbait fish. But just because it’s on a big blade chatter bait I guess it sorta isn’t a swimbait fish anymore?

But at the same time, people use underspins for 6”+ soft swimbaits, and that’s still considered a swimbait. So I guess it’s up to interpretation. At the end of the day, if it catches bass, it’s a unique tool in the anglers toolbox. I think it warrants further useage and see how effective it will be.

Jon P Posted July 19, 2023 Report Share Posted July 19, 2023 The Murray cod guys fish some massive chatterbaits for those fish. I'd like to try chucking some of those at big bass! Tpreston and CG_Fishes 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
