The ChatterBait Mini delivers the same hexagonal blade thump and vibration signature that defines the ChatterBait category in a compact, ultralight package that casts efficiently on 8–12 lb fluorocarbon and medium-light spinning gear. Chartreuse\/White is the high-visibility stained-water and reaction-trigger color: chartreuse on top for visibility in off-color conditions, white belly for a clean flash on the roll.
