Z Man Original Chatterbait - $4.99

This is the original bait that started it all! The Z Man Chatterbait combines the flash of a spinnerbait, the vibration of a crankbait and the snag resistance of a jig. The patent-pending blade design creates an intense vibrating action. This is the key to this incredible bait. The vibrating action is also somewhat erratic enticing explosive reaction bites. The Z Man Chatterbait is also extremely weedless because the hook always remains in an upright position. This allows you to put the bait in heavy cover where fish live.

The Z Man Chatterbait is a versatile weapon. This bait can be worked shallow, deep and at mid-depths and in a variety of different ways. Remove the skirt and trailer and try a soft plastic jerkbait. This combination will work great on schooling fish when worked as a mid-range crankbait. When fish are holding close to the bottom try adding a spider jig or creature bait. Hop, bounce and swim this bait around deep cover for a vibrating deep water assault.

These baits are quickly becoming a must have in every Pro's tackle box. This bait is the beginning of a whole new bait genre and not just another fad lure.

1/2 Perch & Sexy Shad are a Tackle Warehouse Special Run.

Comments: The bait works great but the hook is terrible. Every bait you buy has a different type hook and most are so dull, the will not penetrate anything. I ordered 10 of them and only about 2 of them are water ready. Zman sues everyone that tries to make one with a quality hook like fisherman want. Zman should be embarrassed of the quality of their bait. I am done buying them until they make one with a reliable hook

From: Brady: TX

Comments: From the first cast and the vibration told me that this was a bass catching machine!  Many 5lbs and many larger bass 9.6lbs on this awesome bait.  ANYONE who doesn't like it, has no clue how to fish it!  I don't recall not getting a violent strike that nearly ripped the rod from my hands.  And I never had to sharpen a hook on any of these baits.  I did find that other competitors copy of this bait, had a hard time keeping them from rising to the surface.   And why fish a cheap copy when you can fish the original Z-Man Chatterbait.  I fish them with a 7" shaky worm. They add more action that the split tail that comes with it.

From: Kerry: Memphis, MO

Comments: Nearly all of my biggest largemouth this past year came on this and some big smallies.  Experiment with different trailers and you'll catch em'.  These aren't just one trick ponies these are extremely versatile.  Caught some toads slow rolling offshore structure

From: Destin: PA

Comments: i dont see why this bait is getting bad reveiws....to me this bait is a go-to when you need more sound and action when a spinnerbait just aint doing it!...dont get me wrong i love spinnerbaits but you have to mix it up sometimes....i fish these around shallow reeds and they work great

From: Jacob: Lakeland, FL

Comments:  A total waste of 5 bucks.  The hooks remind me of the hat clip hooks, except the hat hooks are probably sharper.

From: Mike: Aurora, AL

Comments: This bait is far outshined by the competition. I fish highly pressured lakes, and can still catch 10 in bass on booyah and strike king versions. Plus side: doesn't hang up, because the hooks are too dull to stick anything

From: Nico: South Lyon, MI

Comments: The chatterbaits are clutch for when you need to put fish in the live well. Yeah, the hook needs to be sharpened at first and inspected after a few fish or a run in with a snag but what hook doesnt?! They work, plain and simple. Want insurance? Put a trailer hook on!

Comments: Revolutionary bait, but this version from Z man is horrible.  Cheap components.  You pay for what you get or for the "name".  Go with other brands, they're are plenty that I would pay double for.

From: Chow: The Republic of Texas

Comments: Rig these up with a Lake Fork Live Shad and hold on.  I use the black and blue and the perch colors with great results.  As others have said, glue the skirt and sharpen the hook.  Shouldn't have to but that's the case.

From: Mike: Jackson, MO

Comments: Great baits! Caught a 4, 3, and a 2lber in about 20 mins on the Red River, LA. Superglue the skirts so they stay on and sharpen the hook before you use em cause the fish eat these things. Can't go wrong with black/blue and chart/white. Suprised how many times I snag branches and stumps with these baits though, the pro version may fix this problem.

From: Evan: Bossier City, LA

Comments: these are a good bait theres just one thing you have to do. sharpen the hooks. once you do that you better hang on because the fish love it

From: Tyger: Conway, AR

Comments: not sure why these are getting some negative reviews, they out fish spinnerbaits easily 2-1, they like never snag up, can be bumped off of structure easily giving a very erratic action, and flat out catch big fish, bet shallow water bait on the market.

From: J: Hagerstown, MD

Comments: the original chatterbaits where great. the baits they are calling the originals now are far from the true original baits that i bought when rad lures was making them. when z man bought out rad lures the quality went down the drain. the hooks that come on these lures now are truly amazing in that they can be bent with just your fingers and they have no point on them what so ever. there are plenty of other chatterbaits for sale here. dont waste your money on this one

Comments: Great bait. My usual crank baits and jigs weren't catchin em, so I put this on and caught 3 nice bass. Will this work for specks?

From: Mike: Htown, TX

Comments: This bait was a waste of money for me. The skirt broke after a few fish. The hook are terrible they are so dull out of the pack ive spent hours trying to sharping them. buy at your own risk!!!

From: Hunter: Virginia, USA

Comments: This is a good bad. haven't caught that many fish but when i have they are huge... 3 and 4 pound bass and some big pike.... good bait but im gonna stick to my frogs!

From: Gunnar: Viroqua, WI

Comments: This is a solid chatterbait head. The fish I were catching were definitely eating it and not just nipping at it. I picked up the black blue for night fishing and it worked quite well. However, since there is no keeper on the chatterbait head, the skirt can slide down if fished in heavy brush and the only trailer that seems to hold on well is the split tail provided. If you are looking to put something like a paddletail trailer on there, I would recommend another chatterbait.

From: Matt: Brighton, CO

Comments: I have three go-to lures.  They are the lv 100, chatterbaits, and swimming jigs.  Tackle Warehouse carries a great selection of all of these.  Tackle Warehouse has the best deals and by far the best customer service of any tackle supplier, and really any website, that I have ever dealt with.  They get stuffed shipped out incredibly quickly and are prompt to address any issues I have.  The staff at Tackle Warehouse have always treated me great and they will do the same for you. 

From: Big J: Houston, TX

Comments:Chatterbaits are one of the best shallow baits for getting a reaction strike. Glad to see that TW added the perch color, its a great bluegill imitator. Works all year round.

From:Big J: Houston, TX

Comments:This is and senkos are my go to baits...the green pumpkin original chatterbait flat out catches fish...Extremely versatile, easy to use, and durable...must have.
