Product description
The Chatterbeast is a 140mm floating pencil bait built for classic walk-the-dog fishing. Its slim, weighted body sits low in the water and snaps into a tight side-to-side kick with steady rod twitches, throwing flash and a loud internal rattle that calls fish from a distance. The long, balanced profile also casts well, so you can cover water fast and reach fish holding around points, flats, and open basins.
This is a strong choice when largemouth bass are keyed on shad or other baitfish near the surface, especially in calm to slightly rippled conditions. The loud rattle and erratic walking action also make it a solid pick for pike sharing the same water. Fish it early or late in low light, or any time bass are actively feeding up top.
How to fish it
- Cast beyond the target area and let the bait settle before starting your retrieve.
- Use short, downward twitches of the rod tip with slack line to create a steady walk-the-dog cadence.
- Slow down or pause the bait over visible cover, points, or baitfish activity to trigger strikes.
- Speed up the cadence in open water to cover more ground and locate active fish.
Frequently asked
The 140mm size is built for largemouth bass and pike, matching the profile of larger baitfish they key on.
Braided line in the 30 to 50 pound range helps with casting distance and solid hook sets, often paired with a short fluorocarbon leader.
Use natural, translucent patterns in clear water and brighter, high-contrast finishes in stained or murky conditions.
Early morning and evening low light periods are prime, though it can produce anytime bass or pike are feeding near the surface.
