Z-man, maker of the original chatter-bait is debuting their new Chatterbait Elite. This now carries a premium hook, a bait keeper on the shank and a new head configuration that won’t allow the blade to get caught between the eye and head. They will also add some new colors to their line-up.
Z-man has been producing quality soft plastics for some time and this year they are adding new products to their stable. The FattyZ is a stick worm with a fat tail that is made of their proven, hyper durable elastic formula. This is billed as a power finesse bait that will take a beating and keep coming back for more.
Another new product is called the Z-Man Palmetto BugZ. This is a beaver style bait that has floating pinchers. Made for flippin’ as well as every other application you would use a beaver bait for. The difference here is the Elastek plastic which is extremely durable and does, if you’ve never fished it, float.
Lastly, Z-Man is introducing the Hula StickZ. Designed as a drop-shot bait, finesse style bait, it resembles a small stick bait with short tentacles on the rear end that will float and undulate with very little effort from the angler.
