Metal baits - Of course, no manufacturer would call their baits metal baits . However, all types in this category have one thing in common: an element made of metal. Whether chatterbaits , spinning jigs or spinnerbaits , the element that provides the pressure and makes the difference is a metal blade . Pressure irritates the fish and often makes the difference, especially on slow days. Chatterbaits that you fish just above the weeds, a spinning jig that you pull along an edge or a spinnerbait that makes a predator shoot out of cover. No other fishing bait creates as much vibration and noise underwater as a bait with a metal or metal component.
