That's why we wanted to bring you select 5 chatterbaits essentials that have proven themselves over the years.

Z-Man/Evergreen Jack Hammer: Probably the best chatterbait on the market

The Z-Man / Evergreen JACK HAMMER is often considered to be the best chatterbait available on the market. This lure is the result of a collaboration between Z-Man and Evergreen and is now a must-have for anyone wishing to discover chatterbait fishing.

This chatterbait This legendary lure features a unique lead head and a very thin stainless steel blade, giving it ultra-fast rolling action and a unique, highly attractive vibration.

Sakura Cajun: A highly versatile chatterbait

The Sakura Cajun is a chatterbait with an exemplary finish and good quality materials in both its structure and armament. The clip on this chatterbait makes it easier to fight powerful fish such as pike or black-bass rushes.

We recommend using this chatterbait for power fishing. It will quickly make the active fish in the area react. That doesn't mean you can't use it for more varied actions such as stop-and-go or pulling. In short, the Cajun de Sakura is, in our opinion, one of the most versatile chatterbaits on the market and also more affordable than its rivals.

Megabass Wild Header : The best chatterbait for power fishing

The Wild Header is the signed chatterbait Megabass. This highly versatile lure is equally attractive to pike, black bass and perch. It produces a large volume of visual and vibratory signals thanks to its paddle, attracting the attention of predators from afar. The hydrodynamic shape of this lure means it can withstand high retrieve speeds without ever stalling.

That's why we wanted to place the Megabass Wild Header in our list of the best chatterbaits on the market.

Fox Rage Bladed Jigs: a classic among classics

The Bladed Jig by Fox Rage is a chatterbait that's very effective both linearly and on the pull. This lure also produces a high volume of movement and vibrations thanks to an off-axis blade, resulting in a very dynamic swimming action! The Bladed Jig by Fox Rage is ideal for perch, zander, pike and black bass. This lure comes in three sizes (17/21/28g). The overall finish is beyond reproach, making this one of the best chatterbaits on the market.

Illex Crazy Crusher : The best chatterbait for congested areas

The Crazy Crusher by Illex is an ideal chatterbait for very dense areas. Its articulated metal vane is positioned at a 45° angle, allowing it to strike obstacles while emitting strong signals on the retrieve. As an added bonus, a silicone tube connects the hook to the head to minimise the risk of snagging.

Designed primarily for pike fishing, Illex Crazy Crusher is also predisposed for stalking other specimens such as black bass, perch, pike-perch and catfish. Its neat, well-thought-out design makes it, in our opinion, the best chatterbait for crowded areas.
