Chatterbait Rod

[bdyer]

Was just wondering what everyones favorite chatterbait rod was for 3/8 oz. and 1/2 oz. What are the Loomis guys using?

I fish my chatterbaits in the weights described on the IROD Swin Jig/ Bladed Jig rod. it's a great rod for both applications. $149 is a steal! look into one for sure.

I love my Dobyns 705cb glass rod for chatterbaits...

Not the most rod specific technique out there if you ask me. A lot of rods will do the trick. I use a powell 734, but would not hesitate to tie it on to most any other 7foot-ish....medium-ish rod in my box. But i'm not an expert chatter baiter by any means. If I were buying new it would be a Dobyns 734C.

I throw ALOT of chatterbaits and the best rod i have found is the Dobyns 764c. Awesome rod

Any rod medheavy is good with a fast tip. Think spinnerbait. I use a Irod 7'2 mdhvy 6:3:1 ratio reel. 7'mdhvy rod could be nice too. all preference tho.

Since you specifically asked about Loomis. The new IMX SWB 904c has the perfect action for this type of bait.

12326-01 IMX 904C SWB 7'6" D 1 12-25 1/2-3 Mod-Fast Medium $295.00
A medium-power swimbait rod designed primarily for the smaller baits and open water applications. It’s light for all the power it generates. Thanks to IMX, it's very sensitive and casts smaller baits as far as you can imagine. You'll feel even the most subtle takes with this rod and when the big bite comes you'll have all the power you need!

Good luck with whatever you choose.

I tend to agree here, I fish them on my Spinnerbait rod but my preference is my MDHVY Fenwick HMG - Chitter chatter baits is a moving single bait hook - I wouldnt overly complicate it

If you fish them with braid, a med. rod will work. With fluoro or mono, I think you'll need at least a med heavy to set that bigger hook. I almost always use a trailer hook, too.

Mike...I also love that 764C for chatterbaits...very versatile stick.

[DDG]

What ratio reel are you guys using to throw spinnerbaits And chatter baits

[mark poulson]

6.4/1 is plenty for me.

[ash]

Well I am frugal and dont have a drawer of disposable cash to buy a rod and reel for every new bait or technique. I throw my D&M Piranha (cause Eff Z-man company) on my Curado 100 6:1 speed reel, maybe I'm missing where a burner reel would be the difference in catching them or not but that old Curado does just fine

Cousins IM-8 734

6.3/1
