2 Essential ChatterBait Rod Setups for All Situations

Bladed jigs are among the most popular and productive bass baits, essentially combining a spinnerbait, jig, and crankbait into a single package that performs everywhere. As such, there isn’t a single “best” rod and reel combo for all ChatterBait fishing. Jeff Sprague always carries 2 rod setups specifically aimed at fishing ChatterBaits. He explains his setup for short-range target casting and pitching around areas like docks and bushes and why he prefers a longer and more powerful rod action for making long casts down the bank, on flats, or offshore fishing. These 2 setups will cover all of your ChatterBait bases.
