ELAZTECH PLASTICS

Z-Man’s proprietary ElaZtech material is remarkably soft, pliable, and 10X Tougher than traditional soft plastics.

ElaZtech resists nicks, cuts, and tears better than other soft baits and boasts one of the highest fish-per-bait ratings in the industry, resulting in anglers not having to waste time searching for a new bait when the fish are biting.

This unique material is also naturally buoyant and floats up off the bottom, creating a more visible, lifelike, and attractive target to gamefish. Unlike most other soft plastic baits, ElaZtech contains no PVC, plastisol or phthalates, and is non-toxic.

CHATTERBAIT

The ChatterBait bladed swim jig burst onto the bass fishing scene in 2006 following several tournament successes and became a highly-sought-after bass lure virtually overnight.

With its patented design and unique, hex-shaped ChatterBlade, the sound, vibration, and action of The Original ChatterBait brand bladed jigs is unmatched.

The end result is a versatile lure that offers the eratic action of crankbait, large profile of a jig, and irresistable flash of a spinnerbait, now available in a variety of sizes, finishes, and configurations for fresh- and saltwater fishing.

JIGS AND SPINNERBAITS

As our soft bait lineup continues to evolve and expand, so too has our commitment to creating specifically designed jigheads, skirted jigs, and spinnerbaits that pair perfactly with our ElaZtech plastics.

Designed by Elite Series pro Brett Hite in conjunction with Japanese luremaker Evergreen International, the ChatterBait Jack Hammer is among the most refined and highly anticipated baits to ever hit the U.S. market. Its flat-bottom, low center of gravity head and super thin, strong stainless steel blade enable the Jack Hammer to start vibrating quickly and hunt in an erratic, side-to-side motion, just like a frantic baitfish. Its signature head and blade combo allow it to deflect off cover very easily as well, and also allows it to skip easily beneath docks and overhanging trees like no bladed jig before. A channeled groove along the bottom of the head positions the blade low enough to strike the head, producing a signature "chattering" sound while also preventing the blade from detaching from the head. Adding to the bait's overall durability and effectiveness, a Gamakatsu heavy wire flipping hook features the ideal length, gap, and razor sharp point to ensure an ultra high hook-up ratio, while a double wire trailer keeper holds all types of soft plastic trailers securely in place. Premium hand-tied silicone rubber skirts in a range of immaculate patterns along with highly detailed, color-matched head and blade paint schemes provide a top-notch appearance and help vault the ChatterBait Jack Hammer several notches above any other vibrating jig on the market today!
