Shaped by the feedback of dedicated bass anglers, the Made in the USA Project Z™ ChatterBait® boosts the proven versatility and fish-attracting action of the Original ChatterBait®. Its streamlined head lets the blade swing with less restriction, producing stronger vibration whether you’re ripping it through grass or working a deliberate stop-and-go retrieve. Built on custom, heavy-duty VMC® long shank needlepoint hooks that accept larger swimbait trailers, it also features upgraded components: super-strong quick clip line ties that won’t open under heavy line and a locked-down drag. Layered Z-Tie™ double umbrella EZ Skirt® skirting gives a fuller skirt profile that rivals a hand-tied skirt. Heads are molded domestically from a hardened virgin lead alloy, finished with detailed paint schemes and 3D eyes for added realism when conditions are tough. Twin molded keeper spikes hold ElaZtech® trailers firmly in place.
