Z Man "Chatterbait Elite"
Z Man "Chatterbait Elite" Hot
Write Review
New, heavier duty, thicker blades, "Chatterbait Elites" by Z Man offer increased durability and the same thumping action. Z Man also replaced the painted blades with new metallic finishes so there is no paint chipping off or sticking. Now featuring new beefed-up Mustad Fastach Clips the new clips are not only significantly stronger than the standard clip design, they are also very easy to attach to the blade and are perfect for kayak anglers looking to hook the big one.
The new Chatterbait Elites also still deliver the same incredible attention-to-detail as the originals -with custom airbrushed heads and matching skirts for that extra fish appeal. Super sharp 5/0 Gamakatsu hooks help you make the most of every strike, and new molded-in bait keepers help to reduce slippage and keep your trailers secure. Available in a range of proven colors, the Z-Man Original Chatterbait Elites are perfect for fishing around timber, rip rap, boat docks and a variety of aquatic vegetation.

Love the chatterbait
This was my first year using a chatterbait and I love it. I caught more fish with this chatterbait over spinner baits by far. There's something about that vibration that drives the fish crazy! The white and chartreuse are killers.

Great action, can use anytime

Z Man Chatterbait Elite
I am really starting to love chatterbait fishing, and Z Man makes a few different models. This review will focus on the Z Man Elite. While this lure is designed for freshwater use, I have had very good successes with it in saltwater for trout and redfish.
The versatility of this bait (and all chatterbaits for that matter) is tremendous. They can be worked slowly at depth or burned to run on the top like a typical buzzbait.
It is not a small lure at 4 1/2" long and it is available in 3/8 and 1/2 ounce sizes. The very large Gamakatsu hook is definitely a fish sticking hook and will be very hard for a fish to throw it.
Another great chatterbait put out by Z Man. When you are looking for a chatterbait, give Z Man a look!
Pros & Cons
Pros:
Color selection, durability, flexibility
Cons:
None so far
