Z-Man Adds 2 New ChatterBaits: Big Blade & MiniMax

Think you have enough ChatterBaits in your tackle box?

The unique bladed jig-style lure from Z-Man Fishing Products has been a bass-catching machine since being introduced to the market more than 10 years ago.

This was year, Z-Man is adding two new ChatterBaits to its lineup, with the introductions of the Big Blade and MiniMax — a big thumper and downsized finesse model.
