Chatter baits and swim jigs

I have seen a lot of videos online about chatter baits and swim jigs. From what I understand about chatter baits is they are a spinner bait but instead of 2 blades fanned out on a wire they have 1 blade almost on the main part of the bait. Swim baits as I am understanding they are a version of flipping jig but instead of jigging them you fish them like a spinner bait. Just wanted to opinions on here about them and wondered if anyone has any experience using them.

I have had a lot success with both baits. I can't flip and pitch to save my life but I'm pretty good with a swimjig. You can almost fish both baits in the same places that you wouldn't throw a spinnerbait. Rip Rap, Grass etc those baits excel in those situations. I rig them with either a rage craw, grubs or swimming senko

Most videos and info I've seen on the swim jig is that they also use a rage craw or something along those lines as a trailer. With chatter baits I've seen people use small swim baits (not hollow body ones).

hollow bodies are just not designed for those applications. You can also try a Zoom Swimming fluke
