Bobby Lane famously finished second in the tournament that brought national attention to the original Chatterbait. Another pro famously weighed in a couple of toads on the final day to inch out a win and make the Chatterbait a household name. Bobby Lane hated the bladed jig before that tournament, but that second place finish showed him that flipping and pitching doesn't win every Florida tournament. Looking back, Lane's happy things happened that way, because now he loves to fish a bladed jig. Now, if there's a bladed jig bite in a tournament, he feels confident, having invested the time to become a better bladed jig fisherman, he has a good chance at winning that tournament. In this bass fishing on the water video, Bobby Lane talks about selecting the right trailer type, size and color and getting your retrieved dialed in. Once you have the right size, action, color and retrieve, the bass can't resist it and they'll choke it.
