Let it sink for a few seconds before making it swim up again. This is when you make the bait swim up in the water column, and then let it flutter down. The best way to fish a bladed jig is either in a straight retrieve or in an up and down jigging style retrieve. As it travels through the water, the blade at the head of the bait deflects the water causing it to wobble from side to side. What it also has in common with those lures is the action is automatically created as it’s retrieved by the resistance of the water. And like those three lures, bladed jigs are power fishing lures. They are kind of like a mixture of a swim jig, a crankbait, and a spinnerbait all in one bait. In fact, they are often referred to as bladed swim jigs. Bladed Jig Fishingīladed jigs are fished the same way you would fish a swim jig. Once we’ve been able to fish it some will update this section. This bladed jig hasn’t been out long enough to have any feedback on it. It has an interesting new design that is made to keep it down in the water column, since bladed jigs tend to want to swim upward. Chatterbaitīooyah Bait Company has finally joined the bladed jig battle with their brand new bait called the Melee Jig. Let’s have a look at some of the best bladed jigs to come about since the Chatterbait. Some lure manufacturers stuck with that design and others went back to the drawing board. The modification worked and still works, but there is definitely a difference in the action. The patents have to do with the way the blade connects to the eyelet of the hook, so some lure designers added split rings between the connection to make it different. So the only thing other lure makers could do was try to work around them. The only problem for those companies is that Z-Man holds three patents on the design. The demand for the Chatterbait’s action was way too big for other companies to not want to get a piece of the pie. It wasn’t long after the Chatterbait hit the market that other lure companies began to replicate it. On this page we will dive in to some of the more popular bladed jigs and how to fish them. A good example is the Rage Blade by Strike King, it’s different but the same idea. Over the years, more and more lure companies have made their own bladed jigs to compete with the Chatterbait.
The blade works similarly to the way the lip on a crankbait works, by causing the bait to wobble from side to side as it’s retrieved.
The line then ties to a clip that is attached to the blade. But whatever you call them, they all stemmed from this new style bait that was released by Z-Man back in 2006.Ī bladed jig is basically a bass jig equipped with a metal blade that is attached to the eyelet of the hook. The category is bladed jigs, or bladed swim jigs, or vibrating jigs. An entirely new category of bass lures was created when the original Chatterbait was born.
