Quick take
Tournament-proven chatterbait jig with oversized painted eyes and coated weedguard, designed for cover-heavy bass water.
The Black/Blue CrossEyeZ ChatterBait is a 3/8 ounce bladed swim jig with a needle-point 5/0 O'Shaughnessy hook and a stainless steel blade. Its silicone skirt and wire trailer keeper suit anglers fishing for bass around wood, grass and cover. The adjustable wire weedguard deflects cover and folds back during the hookset.
Best for
- Flipping and pitching into dense vegetation and timber
- Bass anglers wanting proven tournament performance
- Situations where rattling, vibrating action triggers bites
Skip if
- You fish open water where jig flutter is enough
- You want a silent presentation
Strengths
- Patented ChatterBlade vibration creates unique lure appeal
- Adjustable weedguard keeps lure clipping through the thickest cover
- Hand-tied silicone skirt is durable and moves naturally
- Molded-in keeper spikes hold soft plastic trailers securely
Trade-offs
- Chatterbait action requires faster retrieve to vibrate properly
- Heavier than traditional soft jigs, tiring on light rod

About this type
A lure is an artificial bait that draws a strike with its shape, color and movement.
Each kind is built for certain depths and ways of fishing.
Weight decides how far a lure casts and what rod and line it needs; color changes how visible it is in the water.
