Description

Fueled by the wants, needs, and recommendations of avid bass anglers, the Made in the USA Project Z™ ChatterBait® takes the proven versatility and fish-catching performance of the Original ChatterBait® to an entirely new level! A streamlined head design that allows the blade to swing more freely, resulting in more vibration, whether you're ripping the bait through grass or employing a more methodical stop-and-go retrieve. Built on custom, heavy duty VMC® long shank needlepoint hooks that fit larger swimbait trailers, other upgraded componentry includes super strong quick clip line ties that won’t open up even with heavy line and a locked down drag, as well as layered Z-Tie™ double umbrella EZ Skirt® skirting for a fuller skirt profile, rivaling the look of a hand-tied skirt. Heads are molded domestically with a hardened virgin lead alloy, painted with detailed paint schemes, and finished off with 3D eyes for that little bit of added realism that can be a difference maker in tough conditions. Twin molded keeper spikes hold ElaZtech® trailers securely.

Field Notes

This bladed jig is built for bass fishing around grass and other cover. It excels on a steady retrieve or a stop-and-go cadence, and the description specifically notes ripping it through vegetation for extra vibration and reaction strikes.

Pros

  • Strong vibration and flash
  • Works well through grass and cover
  • Heavy-duty hook and trailer keeper

Cons

  • Can snag in heavy cover if not fished cleanly
  • Best suited to anglers comfortable with reaction-bait retrieves
