This mini model comes in 1/4-, 3/8- and 1/2-ounce sizes and has all the premium hardware of its bigger siblings.


Nania recommends the 3/8-ounce size in this color, of which there are eight overall in the Minimax collection.


Nania opts for the 1/2-ounce model in clear water situations, and hence pattern chosen for its name.


This 3/4-ounce size and color has a special place in Nania’s tacklebox. He used it to win the St. Croix Bassmaster Open on Pickwick Lake, fishing along main river ledges and flats at 8 to 12 feet.


The subwoofer-thumping XL version sports a heavy-duty 6/0 hook molded to 1/2- 5/8- or 3/4-ounce jig heads with nine skirt colors. Nania prefers the 1/2-ounce size for this pattern. “The XL blade creates a uniquely different vibration when everyone else is throwing the standard ChatterBait,” Nania said.


“The big blade makes it rise up and ride really high in the water column, and I like it for the 6- to 12-foot range,” Nania said, of his 3/4-ounce preference.
