Z-Man Graph Shadz

The Z-Man ChatterShad is a purpose-built soft plastic ChatterBait trailer designed to maximize vibration, movement and baitfish action behind a bladed jig. Featuring a slim 3.5-inch baitfish profile, soft ElaZtech construction and a broad, razor-thin fan tail, the ChatterShad transforms the vibration of a ChatterBait into energetic tail movement and lifelike action.

Unlike a traditional paddle-tail swimbait, the ChatterShad is engineered specifically around the movement of a ChatterBait. Its slender segmented body features a diamond-shaped cross section that helps transfer energy from the vibrating jig through the bait, enhancing overall movement during the retrieve.

At the rear, the ChatterShad's broad fan-shaped tail is exceptionally thin, allowing it to respond quickly to the vibration generated by the ChatterBait. Pronounced V-shaped ridges along the top and bottom of the tail increase water displacement while creating additional quivering and tail-flapping motion.

The result is an active baitfish-style trailer that adds movement without relying on the traditional kicking action of a paddle tail.

Constructed from Z-Man's soft and extremely durable ElaZtech material, the ChatterShad provides the flexibility needed for responsive action while delivering the durability anglers expect from Z-Man soft plastics.

Its streamlined 3.5-inch profile pairs naturally with a variety of Z-Man ChatterBaits and other bladed jigs, making it an excellent trailer option for largemouth, smallmouth and spotted bass.

Fish the ChatterShad behind a bladed jig when covering grass lines, shallow flats, docks, wood, rock transitions and other areas where bass are feeding on baitfish. Its compact profile also makes it easy to match common shad and other forage sizes.

Available in multiple baitfish-inspired colors, anglers can match the ChatterShad to their ChatterBait skirt color, local forage and water conditions.

Each package contains five 3.5-inch ChatterShads.
