As a ChatterBait fishing expert, Hite shares his extensive knowledge of retrieval techniques with finesse bladed jigs. He stresses the significance of keeping the bait in the strike zone while avoiding snags in brush or grass. The ChatterBait JackHammer StealthBlade was designed to deliver a more subtle and tighter vibration. It's an excellent option for challenging fisheries where you still want to cover water with a moving bait.

Hite breaks down the unique design attributes of the JackHammer StealthBlade. He covers the clear blade, wire trailer keeper, reduced skirt bulk, and thinner hook designed for lighter lines. So what's the best ChatterBait trailer option (https://www.wired2fish.com/buyersgui... His goto is the downsized 3inch Yamamoto Zako trailer for the ideal blend of profile and subtle action.

Gear selection plays an essential role in finesse ChatterBait fishing. Hite opts for a 7' 3" heavy power glass rod for the ideal power and parabolic action blend for accurate casts and effective hook sets. A reel with a 6.3:1 gear ratio provides the desired versatility in retrieval speed. He spools up with a 12 to 16pound fluorocarbon for excellent castability, abrasion resistance, and lowvisibility attributes.

Hite shares his goto techniques for working the finesse ChatterBait, including strategic pauses and erratic retrieves to mimic hunting or deflection actions. He harnesses the bait's subtle vibration by casting near bushes and other cover to trigger strikes from tentative bass unwilling to commit to other moving baits.
