Just a few weeks ago as I was rigging a Z-Man Original Chatterbait, I started thinking about the hundreds of quality bass I’ve caught with it. I’ve tried a lot of the other bladed swim jigs on the market and, for whatever reason, it seems as if I always gravitate towards this one. It has bailed me out of some especially tough situations in the past while also accounting for a big tournament win back in my college days.

As a result, this lure has become a definite mainstay in my bass fishing armory. I feel very confident with it throughout much of the year.
