Are you talking about a "Chatterbait"? It's a swim jig with sort of a lip on the front. It seems to be all the rage. I haven't tried one yet but the factory is so back ordered that they were going for over 100 bucks on E-Bay.
Okay, here is what it look like. I've not used one personally, but been in 2 different boats where they were used.
2 1/2 weeks ago on Santee Cooper, my partner used it to swim through some very narly weeds and crap. Nary a snag/foul up. It make the jig 'very eratic' in the water, since it is not a fixed lip.
I spoke with the owner at our local mom and pop about the chatterbaits. He sadi that he sold out of the first 200 that he got and had a buch more on back order.
I asked if anyone here in the Knoxville area was cathing any with them. His reply, "Not to my knowledge". I think I'll hold off a little longer.
i used one for 2 years and am still waiting to catch a fish on one. it looks awesome, i will throw it over grass this year and hope for the best...again
I spoke with a buddy of mine and he has a couple....said he has never caught a fish on them..... he said don't spend the money.... I may try one of his...... Thanks!
