Chatterbait Elite EVO Scorches Spring Largemouths
Since its invention during the early 2000s in a country South Carolina garage, the ChatterBait has never stopped working and evolving, enhancing every angler’s experience with each new version. Along the way, each different Chatterbait variation has mounted tournament victories and parades of big bass.
Starting in the early 2000s, Bryan Thrift’s dominant ChatterBait wins started a bladed jig revolution, including colossal tournament limits of largemouths at lakes Eufaula and Okeechobee. In the years since, bladed jigs have helped Brett Hite earn over a million dollars in tournament winnings. Recently, Stephen Browning netted multiple BASS and Major League Fishing wins, including the 2022 MLF Patriot Cup on a ChatterBait JackHammer. In 2014, I remember watching Paul Mueller on TV catching the heaviest sack of largemouths ever recorded at the Bassmaster Classic with a ChatterBait Elite. At both the 2019 and 2020 Bassmaster Classics, winning weights were caught on an “unnamed bladed jig” aka Z-Man JackHammer.
What other bait has evolved and succeeded this much during this same span and over the decades?
A salute to Z-Man’s run of incredible bass
