Is anyone else having trouble keeping the new chatterbaits (from this year) in the water ?
I have bought 2 resently and they both come straight to the surface, blow out and then ski their way back to the boat.
I have compared these 2 new ones with older ones that I have and it looks to me like the new have a slightly thicker metal lip on them.
Does anyone know if I just happened to get a couple of lemons or if Musky Innovations has done something different and now their chatterbaits are unfishable? |

Location: Gilberts IL/Rhinelander WI | I have been using a new one this year, and have not had any problems. Other than occasionally the snap on the lure and the snap on my leader get tangled up. Usually on a bomb cast, and I don't stop the line from spooling out quick enough. Usually ends in a wasted cast, and it skiing back to the boat. If I stop the line before it hits the water , and leave no slack line to end up tangled, I have no problems.
They are good in the weeds. Although I have only got 1 32" on mine. I did catch a 28" walleye on a fig. 8. Wierd.
Good luck, Brad |
