These tricks and modifications will change your spinnerbait and chatterbait fishing! With underwater footage to help understand the tips, this video will help you catch more fish. We cover everything from skirt modifications to blade options, trailer tricks to color selection in today's in-depth look at how to put a new twist on these bass fishing classics.

Some anglers prefer to keep it casual, settling on a favorite bait and just going fishing. Others prefer to dive in to the details and really fine tune their tackle. This video has both anglers in mind. We begin with simple selections and advance to skirt modifications and trailer tricks you've never seen before.

In addition, Matt takes the time to share his favorite spinnerbaits in each category then follows it up with details about what makes them so unique. One bait is best for muddy water, another will get bit in ultra-clear conditions. When it comes to chatter baits, he emphasizes the importance of a bait that is quick to start its vibration and focuses on trailers who's movements match the blades'.

Below is a breakdown of the baits, trailers, and colors we trust to consistently catch fish. We've also included links to previous In-Depth videos we've done on both spinnerbaits and chatter baits.

    Hi Matt, Miles here. I've never heard of B C U, Bass Catching University but Apparently there is one and You Graduated 1st in Your Class. Now I'm getting to go for free by watching All of your TOTALLY Detailed, Informative Videos!! Thanks my Friend, Please keep it up 🚤💧
  • I truly have no idea why the heck you guys get dislikes? You guys lit the fire under my butt a couple years ago to pick up the rods again...Incredibly thankful that I stumbled across you two guys thank you for all the content!!!
  • @pauleyplay
    Best show ever. I have been watching for over two years. At first I thought you were much to technical for me. I also caught nothing ! Three years later my catch rate is about 1 an hour & I expect to limit out. Even won a few local tournaments. Matt, you guys are without a doubt the best on youtube. Many thanks & keep em coming.
  • @luevang9801
    Those topics that you guys can go down a rabbit hole should be the extra vids. It be nice to have videos where you guys really dive DEEP into everything of one topic. Thanks
  • @mcdrmtt
    Excellent video, it still cracks me up that the haters will dislike every video that you put out.
  • @brentonatkins
    I watch all of your videos and y'all are by far the best bass fishing channel on YouTube. No gimmicks. No clickbaiting. It's super appreciated!
  • @jaybeaton8402
    This channel with Matt and Tim easily provides an angler with very useful information. Doesn’t matter if you’re new or a seasoned angler. Pay attention. You’ll learn something in every single video. 🎣
  • @pensnut08
    That reel "pop" with a chatterbait REALLY make 'em JUMP to one side.. That is a truly outstanding tip!!
  • When tactical bassin uploads a vid you drop what you're doing and you pay attention 🙌
  • I love this! I would love to see a spreadsheet of sorts. Column for clear/muddy water, column for temperature, column for depth, and a list of order in which you would try each bait. 15 casts then change to a _____, 15 casts then move to a ______. That would help me a LOT!
  • @Eli-dd5jc
    I've been watching tactical bassin for a while now and I have to say, as a bank angler I find your videos really helpful. They deserve so many more views.
  • @boydenewing6757
    These guys are no joke Einstein s of bass fishing. I never fail to learn from each video. I would be interested to see them fish big tournaments.
