Gear Review: Z-Man Chatterbait Freedom

What is it?

The original Chatterbait now with a removable/swinging hook design.

What does it do?

The swinging- and removable-hook design makes it easy to switch trailers, and it adds a unique swimming action.

What sets it apart?

Renowned for the combined erratic crankbait action, jig profile and enticing spinnerbait flash, Z-Man’s patented design just got much better with the addition of Freedom’s swinging hook design, which enables soft plastic trailers to be Texas-rigged so it produces a free, natural and weedless swimming action.

How do I use it?

The completely unique internal hook connection eliminates fouling, and allows anglers to quickly and easily change hooks as needed. There are times when a different trailer makes all the difference in how the presentation is perceived; this system just makes it easier to change it up. Available in 3/8- and 1/2-ounce models and six seductive colors.

How much?

$8.49

Editor insight:

Anglers like ease of use. This new Freedom design makes it easy to switch out the hooks and trailers, but it also improves the swimming action. The Chatterbait is a great alternative when a spinnerbait is just a bit too fast for the bass—I have a Chatterbait tied on at all times.
