Chatterbait patent is expiring. Which means Evergreen can start selling their jackhammers in North America directly without the Zman patent tax soon. Which means 10 dollar Jackhammers.
@@GaryAnderson87 2026-02-04 according to the patent. Zman is a wart to the fishing world. All of their baits are direct copies of other baits, but with Elzatech, and they went and patented a chatterbait, the only original bait they have. I never buy Zman products. I'll import Jackhammers from Japan. It's not hard to find a Japanese seller who is willing to ship to North America. Just don't tell Zman which sellers.
I met Mr. Browning last year at an MLF event on championship day. He was awesome. I became an instant fan of his. He is the nicest guy. I could not believe how personable and how down to earth he was.
Proposal for New Z-man Bait: A tiny TRD line of bait to target Pompano & Flounder. This tiny bait is muli-color: body is bright chartreuse yellow, and there is a cluster section on the bait that is bright orange color mimicking Sand Flea Eggs. The bait comes with a small, weighted, weedless, "embedded" TRD jighead hook for the small mouths of Pompano & Flounder. The weighted TRD gets the tiny bait to the bottom to stir the sand. Bait also comes in Hot Pink Body with bright Orange area that looks like a cluster of Sand Flea Eggs.
Why haven't z-man came up with a design that has tungsten in the head where the blade makes contact? Not only does it make it more durable, but adds a unique sound
Awesom vidio steven,just saw an heard of it today bought 4 an for packs spikes,been fishing chatter bait like 20 yrs,love the oringlenaols trad them all I think I like the evo alot it holds trailer good,used to have to put glue on trailer,do u have any tips on how to keep trailer from melting ,I no now keep it away from other baits ,wat about put in in pack with the trailers,glad there's no salt in them,sick of my other baits rusty up,if u good u don't need salt in anything.......
I’m curious as to the weight of the Chatterbait he was using and what weight classes are going to be available when this hits the market because I’m hoping for a 1/4oz 🤞🏻🤞🏻
Havent caught one off my black blue flake its the first chatterbait i bought i noticed it work’s different than the others ive gotten in subscription boxes i also dont have any trailers in a matching color or color that would match well
@@wiredjarl1556exactly. Put a green pumpkin trailer on that black and blue chatter bait or put a black and blue trailer on a green pumpkin chatter bait. They do this combo all the time will plastic baits. You’re using the two best fish catching colors ever made and a combo that works in literally every water clarity.
I would like to see the Hellraiser made stronger for saltwater fish. I saw a video of a guy using it for redfish and the second fish destroyed the lure. Z Man makes very innovative baits that can be great for saltwater fish if they're strong enough. Some super stout models of chatterbaits with a very strong line tie and hooks would be awesome too. Maybe a chatterbait blade that can be put on any jig would be cool. Do y'all need someone who invents new lures and can come up with new ideas all the time? I'm interested in making lures and I have some unique ideas for lures that don't exist. What I don't have is the backing or facility or distribution you have. We should collaborate.
After Ron Davis built a chatterbait. Zman started backing the game with chatterbaits here in SC! Why would it matter if they continued critiquing there own chatterbaits. Making them better.. they aren’t knocking off themselves. Everyone else has knocked the OG chatterbait off. So why would it matter if zman continued to do that..
I got my nickname throwing a Jackhammer in every tournament and getting more top 5 finishes than ever before. Now it might need to be changed to Evo. 😂
$10. Interesting. I wonder if it’s just a little different than a Jackhammer with the trailer keeper so Zman doesn’t have to pay to get them shipped from Japan and pay royalties to Evergreen
@XxNiteStockerxX I really hope we aren't paying an extra $5-$6 for a trailer keeper system..... the only difference I see just from the video is the head design.
I must be the only person to never catch a fish on a chatterbait. Have no confidence in this lure. Could find a school of fish throw a chatterbait and nothing. Can put a key on and they will hit it. Don't know what I'll doing wrong with a chatterbait.
Oh come on you took the jackhammer blade and stuck it on this chatterbait lmao. It's literally the exact same blade. Let's not pretend there was a ton of engineering and testing that went into the blade.....
I'm sold! Can't wait to get some!!! That trailer is PERFECT!!🔥🔥🔥
The trailer definitely looks great. It should be good for bucktails and spinner baits too.

Stephen thanks for a great indepth review of the new bait. Can't wait to tie one on and give it a go!.
How about a blade where the paint doesn't chip off?
That will cost you an additional $20
Just put some clear nail polish over it.
@@darrellgrant7615 That won't affect it at all?
These are one of my favorite lures to throw. its my go to every time i hit the water.
When Stephen Browning speaks, especially about Chatterbaits, I keep learning and using ZMAN Chatterbaits 💯🎣❤
Looks great 👍 thanks for sharing 🎣
Love Icast time of year!

I can’t catch a bass with a chatter bait to save my life
Is that the St Croix legend tournament 7'2 heavy Rip-n-chatter rod?
I do own a ton Project Z Chatter Bait. I am interested in this new one. Hope it hits the market soon.

3/8 ounce

These aren’t out yet
Trailers don’t always have to match the jig, you can use mismatched trailers and sometimes catch more than usual

Can’t wait to get me one love the content
Can i get a chatterbait that rattles or makes noise? I'd like one that makes a clicking sound
Awesome👍
Shyt. Just when I think Z-Man has done they come out swinging with a New Style Chatterbait
And their coming out with some new rods
@@5.7.0bassin2 lol the Ned rig rod?
I like it🎣
Send me one to test!
This is hard to watch, who is this guy ? He designed it ?
Only 3 easy payments of 19.99!
Yep 😂😂
It's literally 10 dollars
Gota admit, much better video than the one Blat did with that new bait of his...
Nnaaahhh
Blat video was a mash up of a full video on his channel
@@CatchEmKing point taken.
They are milking the shit out of the chatter bait
Is this one $45😊
$9.99 🔥🔥🔥
What's the difference between this and the Jackhammer? Seem the same but much cheaper.

Collaborate? Is that how you go to interviews asking for jobs?
@@A1K3NFISHING maybe
Queen Tackle has the blade that can be attached to any jig.
@@Stinkybeard I'll check it out, cool, thanks
Just what we need, another freaking chatterbait 🙄 "but it's totally new and different, Total game changer" lmao.

It's $10 not $20, so I'm sure a lot of blue collar anglers are going to love these 💯
I feel like you are trying to convince me to buy more of what I’ve already invested hundreds of dollars in. I don’t see much different here
