1-12-2008 Zapata,
Texas - Pro Jeremy Guidry of Opelousas, LA, caught a
five-bass limit weighing 27 pounds, 13 ounces on January 28
to win the Stren Series Texas Division tournament on Falcon
Lake with a four-day FLW Outdoors record of 20 bass weighing
110-02. Guidry's catch shattered the previous record of 105
pounds, 8 ounces set by David Mauldin of Tomball, Texas,
during the 2006 Stren Series tournament on Lake
Amistad. Bass actively feed only
about 10% of the time.... The wounded, struggling bait fish
action of this particular lure, however, aggravates bass
into striking even when they are not actively
feeding. made with
highest quality components . no weak links or split rings to
get twisted up so will not break or fall apart . four lures
in one - fish it like a crankbait, a spinner bait, a
chatterbait or a swim jig . high quality polished blade can
be quickly adjusted for a tight wiggle or a wide wobble
without having to bend it . impossible to fish wrong, just
cast out and reel back in . will not turn over or spin so
can not cause line twist . highest quality / best
"breathing" silicone skirt looks like rubber but won't stick
together like rubber . realistic / natural colors . quality
trailer . extra strong / ultra-sharp black nickel 5/0 Mustad
hook . hand dipped heads . high confidence bait - perfect
for tournaments - catches large numbers of bass as well as
big bass No one paid much attention
to this type of lure for several years.... As soon as a few pros
started winning big tournaments with them, however, supply
couldn't keep up with demand and, for a few weeks there,
Chatterbaits were selling for $100 each. But soon afterwards, posts
like this starting showing up on various bass fishing
forums: "I bought 2 chatterbaits
several weeks ago. One of them separated on my first cast so
that only the blade remained. The other one broke on my
first fish.... Fortunately the lure did not separate until
after I landed the fish. I wrote to (the manufacturer) and
they promptly sent me replacements. However, the eye on the
jighead of one of my replacements bent after just one fish.
I may be able to straighten it but I fear it will soon bend
again or break...." Knockoffs soon followed, of
course, but they too were plagued with the same problems...
cheap materials, poor design and breakage. "Skirt slips constantly.
Hook is very dull. Caught nice fish on it, but the blade
started to rust and tarnish.The next time I used it, the jig
part of the lure flew off leaving me with just the
blade." "I've had these come apart
on every brand I've tried." Does this type of lure still
catch big bass? Of course! In fact, they will out-fish a
conventional spinnerbait 3 to 1 most days. People just got fed up with
the breaking problem. (What's the point of hooking a big
bass, only to have the lure break and lose it?) Thee solution? Custom

Magazine: "The hottest lure in bass fishing... part jig,
part spinnerbait, part crankbait and completely effective on
shallow bass." Bass
Times: According
to Elite Series Pro Alton Jones,"These baits are
quietly hot. Many Elite pros are catching lots of bass with
them, but they're not talking about it. The hard vibrations
excite the bass and entice them to strike even when they
can't see it. It's (also) the best bait I've ever used for
night fishing." Elite
Series Pro Shaw Grigsby, "It's a better shad imitator
than a spinner bait (and) bass still pummel it. In fact,
it's one of my mainstays in the fall...." Bassin'
Magazine: "The
big thing in spinnerbaits this year is chatter-style lures
inspired by the ChatterBait.... This bait is essentially a
jig with a blade attached to its nose. It wiggles and
vibrates harder than any bait you've ever fished, and it's
catching bass across the country." Sportsman
Magazine: "Professional bass fishing's tournament swing
through Florida in January and February put the bait on the
map with fisherman after fisherman showing up on weigh-in
platforms toting huge bass that had swallowed the
bait." "Very nice
lure. Im going to try it out in Sydney. These lures have
just started to take off in Australia for species such as
Bass and Barramundi. I might be in touch again in the near
future regarding the purchase of more lures cheers
George" "Just
wondering if you ship to Australia and if I was to purchase
10 swim blades in the 3/8 oz what the total cost would be,
kind regards, I would most like like native colours for
chasing Murray Cod." Nathan M "Hi, i am
keen to buy a few of your swimblades... if possible i would
like them in 3/8 oz as i am using them from my kayak for
Kingfish." Kerry "Hi again, I
purchased some swimblades off you not long ago... top
stuff!!! I would like to buy eight more.... I hope you can
post them all at once. These are great lures and I aim to
make further purchases off you in the future cheers
George." What is
it? It seems
that every year a new lure comes out that becomes hotter
than a two-dollar pistol. A couple of years back it was the
Senko, then the Scum Frog and various others. They were the
"must have" lures. All it takes is one fisherman to win a
big event or tournament with the lure and every angler has
to have one. They forget about all the other lures that have
caught fish for decades and snatch up the new lures like a
bedding bass snatches up a lizard. This isn't a bad thing.
Some lakes get so much pressure from fishermen with standard
lures that when a lure maker introduces a new bait with a
totally different action it really is a fish magnet.
Swimblades are that Hot New Thing and it isn't a gimmick.
This lure is the real deal. At first
glance it looks like a jig with a metal spinner blade on the
front but its not. The funny looking spinner thing on the
front doesn't spin but the small thin piece of metal does
give the lure incredible action and a unique vibration that
can only be compared to the vibration of a jitterbug on
steroids. It also gives the lure an attractive flash much
like a spinnerbait. But because the blade is loosely
connected to the jig head, it gives the lure even more side
to side action and the skirt has phenomenal lateral
movement. I was very
skeptical when I first was offered them to try and put
through the test. It looked funny and too much like a common
jig with a spinner to catch my eye. Then I tried it out and
was amazed at just how much vibration it produces. My rod
tip was dancing side to side and it didn't take long to
start catching fish in size and numbers. It was incredibly
easy to tell when a fish was onas the vibration would
immediately stopped. The best way to describe it is to
call it the Ultimate Swim Jig. How to
Use it One of the
best features of this lure is its versatility. It can be
used like a jig, bounced off of the bottom or slowly fished
along the depths. It can be used like a spinnerbait or swim
bait, being slowly reeled in from several feet deep right up
to the surface like a buzzbait. It also offers a different
look if you combine the jigging and spinning action and
change up the tempo of your retrieve it will come in very
erratically swimming much the same way that a wounded
baitfish will swim. My favorite way to use it is to reel it
in at a slow speed feeling for the maximum amount of
vibration. I usually let it sink to the bottom initially
after casting it before beginning my retrieve. Fish can feel
vibrations below the water surface and they use that sense
to feed. I have found that fish will follow it and come from
long distances to strike. Use this
lure in deep water, shallow water or anywhere in between. It
is that versatile.
