Z-Man CrossEyeZ ChatterBait | Pro-Designed Bladed Swim Jig by Z-Man

Overview

The Z-Man CrossEyeZ ChatterBait is a pro-grade bladed swim jig engineered for strong on-water presence without sacrificing weedless performance. Designed with input from tournament angler David Walker, it blends the recognizable ChatterBait action with Z-Man’s distinctive CrossEyeZ concept for improved targeting in mixed cover.

The centerpiece is a custom 5/0 O'Shaughnessy hook paired with a durable, color-matched head. A key feature is the adjustable, v-shaped coated multi-strand wire weedguard, designed to deflect wood and grass while folding back during hooksets to stay out of the way at the moment of commitment.

Key benefits on the water

• Bold vibration and enticing action from the patented ChatterBait blade paired with cross eyes for added attraction.
• Weed resistance that adapts to cover thanks to the adjustable weedguard, which shields the jig without hindering hooksets.
• Secure trailer control with a molded-in lead keeper spike and wire trailer keeper, helping keep trailers in place during casts and retrieves.

The construction emphasizes longevity: hand-tied copper wire skirts attach securely to the hook shank with stainless wire, while a durable, color-matched jighead and the hallmark cross eyes contribute to both visual appeal and consistent performance under tough conditions.

Durability and design highlights

• Super-hard stainless hex-shaped ChatterBlade enhances durability and offers strong blade-induced vibration.
• Unique line-tie snap design minimizes fouling and improves reliability during fast retrieves.
• Clean, water-ready finish with thoughtful磨 components that stand up to frequent casting and probing through cover.

How to use

Cast near wood structure or weeded bays and allow the jig to tick through the column, dialing in speed to feel for subtle grabs. The combination of blade flash, cross eyes, and weedguard makes this bait versatile in stained water and around dense cover, while the trailers stay secure for repeated presentations. Expect it to excel when you want a loud, proactive presentation that still navigates around snag-prone spots.

What you get

• One CrossEyeZ ChatterBait with a ready-to-fish setup featuring a robust O’Shaunghnessy hook and integrated weedguard.
