Has anyone used a chatterbait for reds? How did it work?

If I wanted to use live bait it would be shrimp. I'm strictly an artificial guy.

Take a lot of them because they'll probably eventually tear 'em up.
White/black or shad color skirt to mimic a mullet, or something brown-pumpkinseed with maybe a twin-tail trailer to mimic a crab. If you're not around vegetation and don't have problems with anything snagging-catching in the blade, they should eat the snot out of it.

Must be nice to live in a state that lets you actually keep fish occasionally. You're illegal in FL with that catch unless you have 8 people on the boat. We just grow them over here in NW FL for y'all to catch at a later date. No shortage over here for sure. I can do the same thing over here everyday I fish but in FL only allowed to keep 1 fish per person/day with a 18-28" slot. Anything over-sized is a ticket.
Perch, 3/8 oz blue and black colored chatterbait with a gold blade, white twin curl tail trailer or white with orange tips if you can find them. Fish it around docks, reed lines, oyster beds or any hard cover you can find. Make sure you have a good grip on your rod. Can also do the exact same thing with a #4 bruiser sally with the same trailers. Both imitate a small blue crab and will get slammed if one is around.

Headed to Homosassa in about 10 days, we'll fish the whole week down there for reds and specks and snook (and jacks, and ladyfish, and Spanish, and about a dozen other things it seems!)
Where we catch those reds is usually REALLY shallow water, and it's a "rocky" bottom that just about anything gets hung in instantly. So I'm limited to something there (artificial wise) that doesn't run deep. We absolutely smash them on F13 floating Rapalas. Many times you don't even get your reel engaged after the cast before they crush it!! But you can twitch, twitch that thing a few times and usually see the wake coming....they donkey-punch it!!
Once the tide bottoms out we'll move out of the mangrove creeks onto the flats and start speck fishing, and they hammer that Rapala too. I also have great success with a 3/16 jig head and any kind of "shrimp tail" plastic grub. It's pretty cool the way we do it....we'll put out the drift sock and float long distances over the grass flats, and just about any time you find a deeper depression with the kelp grass, it's on!! I love to see them come out of nowhere and boil those lures.
