This is an ElaZtech® jerk bait whose action is always unpredictable. Shimmering body colors and detailed painted scaled backs enhance its natural bait appeal.

The buoyancy of StreakZ allows them to be fished from top to bottom depending on how they are weighted. Cast and retrieved, jigged up and down or just sitting in the current… this bait will get hits!

Add a ChatterBlade™ !

THE ORIGINAL CHATTERSTICK 5" RED IS CURRENTLY ON BACKORDER.

There’s no disputing the fact that stickbaits are among the most productive of all hard-bodied lures. But you could argue for hours over which stickbait tops the list. The choice is obvious for anyone who has ever fished a ChatterStick.™  Simply put, no other bait can match the look, action or fish catching attraction of this amazing lure. In the water its ‘dimpled’ finish reflects light in all directions, creating a shimmer that’s irresistible. But it’s the deliberate side-to-side motion with its distinctive vibration that really prompts the strikes. As the only stickbait with the unique hex-shaped ChatterBlade, no other lure can replicate the action of a ChatterStick.]]> palvey Z-Man The Science & Art of Fishing Mon, 31 Aug 2009 13:28:42 -0400 http://tightlineskayaking.com/forum/read.php?354,4850,4850#msg-4850 http://tightlineskayaking.com/forum/read.php?354,4850,4850#msg-4850 There’s a revolution going on in soft plastic baits and Z-Man is at the forefront with its ElaZtech line-up.

Simply put, Z-Man is the fastest growing lure brand in the U.S. Our products virtually cover the waterfront - from trout stream to blue water. The Original ChatterBait® still dominates the bass scene, but these amazing baits are joined by a broad - over 500 SKUs - selection of soft plastics for virtually every fresh and saltwater situation including blue water trolling. A number of these baits are made from Z-Man's proprietary ElaZtech®, a remarkable substance that is soft and pliable yet as much as 10X Tougher than other soft plastic baits. Word of ElaZtech® is spreading like wildfire as these baits gain traction along the tournament trail and are the subject of an aggressive media blitz. Print ads and TV commercials demonstrate emphatically just how tough these baits really are. ElaZtech baits have been blasted with a shotgun, stabbed with steak knives, and chomped by barracuda. Despite that deliberate abuse, ElaZtech baits not only remain fishable but with their realistic appearance, they consistently outfish ordinary soft plastics by a wide margin. ElaZtech baits boast one of the highest Fish Per Bait ratings in the industry, and they are Non Toxic. ElaZtech contains no PVC, Plastisol or Pthalates.

As you look through our store, you'll be amazed by the extensive selection of Z-Man baits. There are body styles, colors and varying lengths to satisfy the most demanding fresh or saltwater angler.

No lure in recent memory has had such a profound impact on freshwater fishing as The Original ChatterBait®. With its patent-pending design and unique hex-shaped ChatterBlade®, the sound, vibration, flash, and action of The Original ChatterBait® is unmatched. The Original ChatterBait® is designed to "swim" in an erratic motion that mimics wounded prey. It offers the action of a crankbait, the profile of a jig, and the flash of a spinnerbait.

Z-Man's proprietary ElaZtech® is a remarkable substance that is soft and pliable yet as much as 10X Tougher than other soft plastic baits. The natural buoyancy and lifelike action of this revolutionary makes it ideal for soft baits. ElaZtech® is extremely durable and resists nicks, cuts and tears better than other plastics. Unlike many other plastic baits on the market today, ElaZtech® baits are non-toxic and contain no PVC, phthalates, or plastisol.

The molded collar of the Z-Man EZ Skirt allows you to give your baits a new look or replace a worn skirt in seconds. On the retrieve, these skirts billow in-and-out in a lifelike, pulsating motion with an ever-changing shape that attracts fish from afar. Every EZ Skirt is designed so that each silicone strand is properly positioned to avoid tangles and bunching.

Z-Man FlashBack™ baits feature a premium holographic film embedded in a translucent soft lure body, creating a highly reflective and realistic appearance in the water. The result is a reflective flash that is one of nature's most powerful strike triggers.

The brilliant Z-Man SilaFlash® skirt material combines a highly reflective holographic foil laminated to a soft, flexible silicone. In the water, SilaFlash catches and reflects light to create a radiant, pulsing flash that is highly visible to fish and anglers alike.

Sof-TeaZ trolling baits are molded from proprietary Z-Man ElaZtech plastic, so not only are they extremely soft and lifelike, but they are also incredibly tough and durable. Add buoyancy and the real-feel of natural bait to the picture, and you've got a bait that fish will bite�and won't let go!

Z-Man® UltraShrimp™ replicates the look and action of a live shrimp perfectly. It is designed for an upright, realistic presentation whether cast and retrieved, worked along the bottom, or twitched. UltraShrimp comes with a super-sharp weighted saltwater hook that inserts easily into a channel in the shrimp body. It can be rigged with hook toward the head or through the tail. The hook-forward technique produces a tail-flapping swimming motion that is incredibly life-like. When rigged with hook through the tail, the buoyant UltraShrimp body will ‘crawl’ along the bottom with tail-up on a slow or intermittent retrieve.

Aside from its fish attracting prowess, UltraShrimp features Z-Man’s proprietary ElaZtech construction that’s up to 10X more durable than ordinary soft plastics.

Package includes one specially weighted 3/8 oz. hook.
