Most anglers throw a chatterbait, but very few actually fish it the right way — especially in tournaments. In this video, I sit down with a local tournament hammer Kevin Atkinson who consistently wins on a Z-Man JackHammer, even during winter tournaments when most anglers put it down. We break down the most common chatterbait mistakes anglers don’t even realize they’re making, the retrieve changes that trigger bites, how he fishes pressure, and why this bladed jig continues to dominate local tournaments year after year. If you want to fish a chatterbait with confidence, catch more bass, and actually compete at the tournament level, this breakdown will completely change how you throw one.
