We all say that when we see a new lure on the market.

I question MA when he said he was going to add a swimbait as a trailer to his Chatterbait. He said it would offer the vibration and attraction of a wriggling Chatterbait...yet provide the subtle kick of the tail and softness of a swimbait.

So I ask him if a fish wanted subtlety, wouldn't the Chatterbait of that combo scare the fish away?

And I further ask him if a fish wanted vibration and aggressive approach, wouldn't the swimbait action be masked and ineffective?

For bulk, I would rather add something like a crawfish trailer...or a twin tail grub...or twin paddletail that imitates a frog. Something like Rage Toad comes to mind. It adds much more action and noise that complements the Chatterbait well...and these types of trailer is initially intended for the Chatterbait also (see Chatterfrog).

For something with wiggle but a little less noise (and much cheaper), consider the Luck-E-Strike Scrounger jig head. The Scrounger is the original "chatterbait" that comes in smaller sizes for more finesse presentation.
