product description
Building upon the Original Chatterbait brand bladed swim jig's leadership position, in tackle boxes and on bass circuits the country over, the Zman 0.375 Ounce Chatterbait Elite model features our patented, bladed swim jig design with several key upgrades. For starters, it sports a 5/0 Gamakatsu hook, new EZ Skirt jig skirt with low-profile hub, more detailed head paint schemes, and a beefed up stainless ChatterBlade with a super strong quick clip line tie. Top the Elite off with a molded-in trailer keeper that prevents soft plastics from sliding and a strengthened head-to-blade connection, and the result is an upgraded lure that's even more irresistible to fish and essential to fishermen.

Questions about Z-MAN Chatterbait Elite
Q:
How much do they weigh ?
Q:
The product I recieved was the original chatterbait not the elite, like the description says. There's no link to contact seller so how do i fix this?
Q:
What size hook is it?
Answer: It appears to be a 4/0 or 5/0
Q:
What weight is size "0"?
Q:
What size is this item? Is it 1/4? 3/8? 1/2? Hard to buy without this info....
Answer: I am not sure. I have a combination of all sizes. They all work great. I am focused on finding the color that is hot. My best lure of 2014 & 2015 was the black & blue which comes in the smaller size. Fish from 8" to 46" last year. It has been my best bait for the last 2 years. I have all sizes and a dozen colors.
Answer: Sooo... If you scroll just below the picture you will find a box that reads "select size". The answer to your question lies within a click of that box, if only you be brave enough to venture. Or instead you could be a lazy chode and go right to asking everyone else...
Q:
What does size 0 mean?
Answer: Hook size.
Q:
What do it weigh
Answer: The one I got was 3/8 oz, which is right for me because I add a trailer which adds a bit of weight. Good thing is that the lure has a #5 hook, that's the only size I use. The lure also comes in 1/4, 1/2 & 5/8 oz., but I'm not sure if that is an option to get a different weight. Hope this helps, good luck!
Answer: They are 3/8oz and there ok but I like a 1/2 ounce or even a 3/4, they cast further and stay down better, but unfortunately it doesn't specify very well.
Answer: 3/8 ounce according to specs.
Answer: 3/8 oz. great lure!!!
Q:
Do these work for crappie?
Answer: Chatter baits do work for crappie. You are better off with a smaller version. May I suggest 3/16 or less? Also, the flash back mini chatter bait is very good and only comes in crappie sizes.
Answer: It's a pretty big hook for a crappie.
Answer: I think it is too big for Crappie
Q:
I have trouble ordering from this site! I ordered 3 Jack Hammond cb , three different colors and received 3 of one color!
Q:
What doe size 0 mean?
Answer: It's a 5/0 hook. Hooks use a number scale when they are small and then grow bigger like 1/0, 2/0, 3/0, 4/0 and 5/0 etc
Q:
Looking for single bladed skirted jig with easy detach hook for fish safe release from Berkeley, black & blue. available?
Q:
What size is this?
Answer: 1/2 ounce
Q:
What weight is the zero
Q:
Anyone tried these in salt water / inshore fishing?
Answer: I've never tried them in salt water
Answer: They work... they aren’t salt water grade. Wash them well afterwards so they don’t rust. FYI: the hooks can bend if you hook up with something significant.
Q:
What is the weight?
Answer: my scale is fairly accurate and it reads .4 oz or 11.5 gms hope that helps
Q:
The product I recieved was the original chatterbait not the elite, like the description says. There's no link to contact seller so how do i fix this?
Q:
What size should I get for Bass fishing?
Answer: All the sizes work for Largemouth Bass. What I'd recommend is that you match the lure size to the recommended lure weight range printed on your fishing rod and consider the size bass you are targeting. Bass aren't very fussy when they're motivated to strike. Even a 2# bass may be inclined to attack the largest chatterbaits. That said, bigger lures for bigger fish is a good rule of thumb. We've caught LM Bass ranging from 1.5 - 5.2 lbs recently on chatterbaits.
Answer: I think all of mine are half ounce. Trailers are the key. I like paddle tail swim baits and Havoc devil spears. Bend the top edge of the blade back slightly and straight for more vibration. Tight lines!
Answer: 3/8 or 1/2 depending on the water depth. The heavier one for deeper water.
Q:
Is this an EWG type hook?
Answer: It's not an EWG, but it is a heavier wire hook. Depending on the weight you get, it'll have a 4/0 or 5/0 hook. The shank of the hook is straight.
Answer: No. It’s a round bend J hook. Very stout and sharp as well.
Answer: It like a spinnerbait...straight shank hook
Answer: No it isn't just a 5/0 hook
Answer: No it’s a straight shank hook

mike : Good quality
Nice looking
ElectronicsNerd : These things catch fish
Having tried several "chatterbait" type lures, this is probably my favorite. When used in the right conditions, the thing plain catches fish. I think a large part of the success this lure has is that it provides a tight wobble, even at slow speeds. So far I have only used it to target largemouth bass, but I have heard they also work well for smallmouth.

Joe Masiello : Great chatterbait!
My favorite chatterbait. The color I received was quite the color I thought i ordered but with that aside if you’re looking for a great chatterbait for a good price this is it. A good middle ground between the original and the jackhammer in my opinion. I’ve bought a few recently because I use them so much a naturally lose one here and there.

Scott M. : Lives up to the hype.
For years, I ignored the hype and didn't buy Chatterbaits. Last spring in Michigan, I was outfished by 3:1 by someone using these. Now, I realize the hype wasn't hype...………...these baits work.
Bdiddy : Great
Excellent bait for fishing in ponds, love this one

Jay Gee : Delivered as expected
I'm not sure if its me or the bass just aren't as attracted but i have not caught a single bass with this bait. It looks good and came as promised. I'm going to give it a few more tries.
Amanda : Quality

Kindle Customer : Bought as a gift for my husband. Can't say ...
Bought as a gift for my husband. Can't say he caught anything on it, but that's HIS fault, not the products fault :-)
Rob : Nice
Awesome color. And works how it should
Dan : Fish love it
Great natural colored chatterbait. Pair it up with a good trailer and it has great action under water. Swim it in with occasional pops or drag it across the bottom. Either way it drives fish crazy.
Matthew McCarthy : Wanted gold blade- got the silver
I love Zman products, but when I lost this chatterbait due to a snag, I wanted to immediately replace it. Mine had the gold blade and the same line tie as pictured. However, when I received this one, it’s the older style, with the silver blade and the longer line tie as pictured... am I missing something? The description says it’s the “2020” model.. did I just get an older version? 3 stars because of the wrong color. The skirt is the same and that’s fine.

Ron Kilpatrick : Five Stars
Love this color chatterbait. I fish in dark waters and it works great.
Lucky L. Knesal : Lives up to the Zman name!
I have yet to take out a chatterbait and not catch a fish.
Started using these a couple years ago, and with timing of my fishing excursions, my luck has held true.
I can actually feel it vibrating, when I am reeling in. I can only imagine what it is doing to the fish!

3rd cast with it , landed a 3 lb'er. Love catching fish with a chatter bait. Love the color works so well where I'm from
choritzo : This lure is a crazy, fish-catching lure.
Caught a white bass first time out and he really slammed my 1/4 oz., chartreuse. 2nd time at lake, I caught an 18.9 lb. Blue Catfish on a crawfish color, 3/8 oz. 3rd time out, with my buddy, we caught close to 40 white bass, all released, (but we were using small crankbaits). 4th time at lake, I caught three, 2 lb. blue catfish on chartreuse, and had several hits that I missed. This lure is a crazy, fish-catching lure. I was averaging 1 catfish on a lure, every 10 years, and they were dinks. I haven't gotten onto the bass yet, but I ordered a 3/4 oz. lure to fish deeper water. This lure is fun to fish, casts good, and can be retrieved slower than a spinnerbait, but still feel the vibration on my rods. Only problem I've had is that the wimpy snap on the blade broke on one of them. But I have more back-ups in my tackle box.
Daniel L. Gagner : Nice feeling lure
I've got a trailer on this and the action through the water is great. You can feel the chatter in the pole too as you reel.
The bait itself is good and warrants 5 starts but with a trailer I've been getting hits but missing getting them hooked. The hook on this thing is very good and very sharp but I've ordered some trailer hooks. Just to let you know. A trailer hook, if you have say a 4" plastic on this will probably be necessary.
