The Z-Man Tungsten ChatterBait Elite EVO is a premium tungsten bladed jig designed for bass anglers looking for a compact profile, fast sink rate, increased sensitivity and aggressive hunting action. Built around a low-profile 96% tungsten head and Z-Man's proven ChatterBlade design, the Tungsten Elite EVO delivers powerful vibration and responsive action for targeting largemouth, smallmouth and spotted bass around grass, wood, docks, rock and other cover.
The defining feature of the Tungsten ChatterBait Elite EVO is its high-density 96% tungsten head. Tungsten allows Z-Man to create a smaller, more compact head while maintaining the weight needed for casting distance, depth control and fast sinking performance. The compact profile reduces water resistance and provides a natural baitfish-sized presentation.
The dense tungsten construction also increases sensitivity, allowing anglers to better feel the lure working through the water and contacting grass, rock, wood and other structure. This enhanced feedback can help anglers recognize changes in blade vibration, contact with cover and subtle strikes.
A direct head-to-blade connection allows the trademarked hex-shaped Z-Man ChatterBlade to begin vibrating immediately. The quick-starting blade produces strong vibration while helping create the erratic side-to-side hunting action that makes ChatterBaits effective for triggering reaction strikes.
The compact tungsten head is designed to sink quickly, making the Tungsten Elite EVO an excellent option when anglers need to reach deeper fish or maintain the bait lower in the water column.
For grass fishing, retrieve the Tungsten ChatterBait Elite EVO over submerged vegetation, along weed edges or through openings in the grass. When the lure contacts vegetation, use a quick snap of the rod to free the bait and trigger an erratic burst of speed and action.
Around wood and laydowns, the compact head and responsive hunting action allow anglers to work the bladed jig around branches, stumps and other bass-holding structure. Changes in vibration can help anglers identify contact with cover and keep the lure working effectively throughout the retrieve.
The Tungsten Elite EVO is also an excellent option around rock, riprap and hard bottom. The dense tungsten head provides increased feedback as the lure contacts structure, allowing anglers to maintain better awareness of the bait throughout the retrieve.
For shallow-water bass, retrieve the Tungsten EVO over grass, around docks, along shorelines and beside shallow cover. Increase retrieve speed when fish are actively chasing baitfish or slow the bait down when bass require a more deliberate presentation.
For deeper bass, allow the fast-sinking tungsten head to reach the desired depth before beginning the retrieve. Slow-roll the ChatterBait through deeper grass, along breaks or around offshore structure while maintaining contact with the lure's vibration.
The Tungsten ChatterBait Elite EVO features a custom heavy-duty 5/0 black nickel needlepoint hook designed for dependable hook penetration and fish-holding power.
Z-Man's hybrid molded split-grip and wire trailer keeper helps securely hold both ElaZtech and traditional soft plastic trailers in position during repeated casts and contact with cover.
A wire-tied 100% silicone skirt provides natural pulsing movement while improving durability. Detailed head finishes and oversized 3D baitfish eyes add realistic visual detail to complement the lure's vibration and hunting action.
Pair the Tungsten ChatterBait Elite EVO with a paddle-tail swimbait, minnow-style trailer or other soft plastic to customize the profile, action and depth of the presentation.
For largemouth bass, fish the Tungsten EVO around grass, docks, laydowns, vegetation and other cover where bass are feeding on shad, bluegill and other forage.
For smallmouth bass, work the bladed jig around rock, grass edges, flats and baitfish-rich areas. Natural baitfish and green pumpkin-based patterns provide excellent options when smallmouth are feeding on minnows, gobies or other forage.
Fisherman's Central carries the Z-Man Tungsten ChatterBait Elite EVO in 3/8 oz and 1/2 oz sizes, giving anglers options for adjusting retrieve depth, fall rate and presentation.
The 3/8 oz Tungsten Elite EVO provides a versatile presentation for shallower water, grass and situations where anglers want a slightly lighter bladed jig.
The 1/2 oz Tungsten Elite EVO provides additional depth control and is an excellent option for deeper retrieves, longer casts and situations where anglers want to keep the bait lower in the water column.
Fisherman's Central carries the Tungsten ChatterBait Elite EVO in 12 bass-fishing colors: Bama Bream, Bama Craw, Black/Blue, Bluegill, Chartreuse/White, Electric Shad, Glitter Bomb, Green Pumpkin, Hot Snakes, Lava Craw, Spot Remover and White.
Natural baitfish patterns provide excellent options in clear water and when bass are feeding on shad or bluegill, while darker and brighter patterns provide additional contrast and visibility in stained water and low-light conditions.
