Labor Day 2026 Apparel

Stick Jacket Casting rod sleeves work great for protecting your rod from scratches, broken guides, and tangles.  The sleeve slips over your rod with ease and keeps the line from catching on other rods.  

It acts like a trap and hold tight to the rod until you want to take it off.  The brass grommet on the end allows you to hang it up on the wall without falling out (without the reel.)  

The jacket falls short of covering the entire rod, it usually stops short enough to have a lure tied on and attached to the hook keeper without hanging up.  We recommend not putting a lure on the guides, this will result in snagging on the Stick Jacket.

For rods up to 7-1/2' Long and 3-7/8" round.  Mainly freshwater rods or saltwater inshore rods.

The Z-Man ChatterBait Elite EVO is a high-performance bladed jig designed to deliver the premium features of elite baits like the Jack Hammer but at a more accessible mid-market price point. It features a unique head and blade geometry that produces a radical, unpredictable hunting action that fish find hard to ignore.

Key Performance Features

• Instant Start-Up: Features Z-Man’s patented direct head-to-blade connection and a signature hex-shaped ChatterBlade, ensuring the lure starts thumping the second you turn the reel handle.

• Erratic Hunting Action: The blade-to-head angle and blunt nose design cause the bait to wander and dart randomly during retrieval, mimicking a distressed baitfish.

• Upgraded Durability: Equipped with a wire-tied 100% silicone skirt that provides more natural flare and longevity compared to standard rubber collars that can dry out and slip.

• Advanced Trailer Retention: Uses a hybrid molded split-grip and wire keeper system to lock soft plastic trailers securely in place, even when ripping through heavy grass.

For rods up to 8-1/2' Long and 8-1/2" round

The ChatterBait Mini features a hex-shaped ChatterBlade roughly the size of a nickel, which acts as a built-in weedguard to help the lure deflect off cover and navigate through vegetation. Its versatile design allows it to be worked at any depth, making it a "secret weapon" for pond fishing and targeting smallmouth, spotted bass, or white bass.

Key Features:

• Patented Direct Connection: Features Z-Man's signature head-to-blade connection for instant vibration and a hard-hitting side-to-side shimmy.

• Perfect Intermediate Size: The 1/4 oz weight and compact 3-inch profile make it easier to keep just above the weeds in shallow water compared to heavier 3/8 or 1/2 oz models.

• Finesse Components: Equipped with a sharp 3/0 black nickel hook and a downsized, interchangeable EZ Skirt for a more subtle visual presentation.

• Included Trailer: Each pack comes with a super-tough ElaZtech mini split-tail trailer already pre-rigged for immediate use.

• Customizable Action: For a different look, the skirt can be removed to rig up a soft plastic jerkbait or Slim SwimZ, which is highly effective for schooling fish.

• Multi-Species Appeal: While designed for bass, its smaller size is also deadly for large panfish, trout, and perch.

The Z-Man Original ChatterBait is a versatile, tournament-winning lure that combines the flash of a spinnerbait, the vibration of a crankbait, and the profile of a jig into a single "fish-slaying package". It is known for its patented head-to-blade connection and signature hex-shaped blade, which produce an unmatched erratic action that triggers reaction bites from bass and other predatory fish.

Key Features & Design

• Intense Vibration: The trademarked hex-shaped blade pivots violently on the jig eyelet, creating a powerful thump you can feel throughout your retrieve.

• Snag-Resistant: The blade doubles as a weedguard, helping the lure deflect off wood and grass without getting hung up.

• Quality Hardware: Built with a custom 5/0 heavy-duty needlepoint hook designed for solid hooksets and durability.

• EZ Skirt® System: Features a quick-change silicone skirt that allows you to swap colors fast to match changing water conditions.

• Trailer Ready: Includes a molded-in bait keeper to lock soft plastic trailers securely on the hook shank.

Versatility & Use

Effective year-round but particularly excels in stained to muddy water and around cover like submerged vegetation or docks. It tracks straight without hydroplaning, making it easy to fish at various speeds and depths.

The Z-Man Tungsten ChatterBait Elite EVO is the next evolution in bladed jigs, combining the award-winning DNA of the ChatterBait Elite EVO with a premium 96% tungsten head for superior performance that gets deeper, sounds different, and catches more fish in tough conditions. This compact, high-density design delivers a faster sink rate and a unique vibration profile that sets it apart from traditional lead-headed chatterbaits, making it a must-have for serious bass anglers targeting pressured waters, deeper structure, or when you need to stay in the strike zone longer.

Key Features:

• Low-profile 96% tungsten head — Smaller yet heavier than lead equivalents, it plunges quickly to reach suspended bass, weed edges, or bottom-hugging fish while producing a distinct "snare drum" sound and vibration spectrum that triggers reaction strikes.
• Patented direct head-to-blade connection + trademarked hex-shaped ChatterBlade® — Starts vibrating instantly on the first turn of the handle, creating erratic, random "hunting" action that mimics fleeing baitfish or crawdads for maximum triggering power.
• Custom 5/0 heavy-duty needlepoint black nickel hook — Refined by Z-Man pros (including exclusive barb placement for better hooksets and lip-lock), it handles big fish and heavy cover with confidence.
• Hybrid molded split-grip + wire trailer keeper — Locks ElaZtech® trailers (like DieZel MinnowZ or SwimmerZ) securely in place, prevents slippage, and makes rigging fast and foolproof.
• Wire-tied 100% silicone skirting — Ultra-durable, color-matched patterns with pro-designed schemes for lifelike presentation and long-lasting performance.
• Oversized 3D eyes + detailed head paint — Hyper-realistic strike target that draws attention and commits bass.
• Premium stainless-steel blades — Available in plated, painted, and glitter-coated finishes for flash and durability in any water clarity.

Performance Advantages:

• Faster Sink Rate: 96% tungsten gets deeper quicker
• Unique Sound Profile: Distinct "snare drum" vibration triggers strikes
• Compact Profile: Smaller yet heavier than lead equivalents
• Instant Vibration: Starts on first turn of the handle
• Hunting Action: Erratic, random movement mimics fleeing prey
• Stays in Strike Zone: Better depth control than competitors
• Pressured Water Specialist: Outperforms in tough conditions

Ideal Applications:

• Pressured waters
• Deeper structure fishing
• Grass, rocks, docks, laydowns
• Open water
• Suspended bass
• Weed edges
• Heavy cover

Recommended Techniques:

• Steady retrieve
• Slow-roll
• Burn retrieve
• Yo-yo presentation
• Hunting action

Recommended Setup:

• Rod: Medium-heavy to heavy swimbait rod
• Line: 15-20 lb fluorocarbon or braid
• Trailer: ElaZtech trailers (DieZel MinnowZ, SwimmerZ)

Available in popular weights like 3/8 oz (ideal for shallow to mid-depths and finesse applications) and 1/2 oz (perfect for deeper water, wind, or heavier cover), this chatterbait excels in grass, rocks, docks, laydowns, and open water. Fish it steady, slow-roll it, burn it, or yo-yo it — the Tungsten Elite EVO hunts unpredictably and stays down better than competitors, often outperforming even high-end options in head-to-head tests.

Pair it with your favorite medium-heavy to heavy swimbait rod, 15-20 lb fluorocarbon or braid, and an ElaZtech trailer for the ultimate bladed jig setup. Whether you're in Southern California reservoirs like Castaic or Pyramid chasing big largemouth, or anywhere bass live, the Z-Man Tungsten ChatterBait Elite EVO raises the bar for vibration, depth control, and big bites.

When you need a bladed jig with 96% tungsten head for faster sink rate and unique sound profile, patented direct head-to-blade connection for instant vibration, custom 5/0 heavy-duty hook, hybrid trailer keeper for ElaZtech trailers, and superior performance in pressured waters and deeper structure, the Z-Man Tungsten ChatterBait Elite EVO is the choice of serious bass anglers.

Note: 96% tungsten head. Faster sink rate and distinct "snare drum" sound. Patented direct head-to-blade connection. Custom 5/0 heavy-duty needlepoint hook. Available in 3/8 oz and 1/2 oz. Outperforms competitors in head-to-head tests.
