Museum Archive: Z-Man Z-man Chatterbait, 2/5oz Nickel / Black fishing spoon #11297

Weighing in at 2/5 oz (11 g), this original Z-man Chatterbait remains a foundational piece of modern lure design. The 2 3/4" (7 cm) profile is characterized by the distinctive hex-shaped nickel blade that defines 'The Original' series. Labeled as Black/Chartreuse (Black/Chrt) on the rear packaging sticker, the lure features a replaceable EZ Skirt designed for rapid adjustments in the field. This specimen, identified by product code 11297, is constructed with the brand's proprietary ElaZtech material for the trailer, known for its high durability and resistance to tearing. The lure is unused, retaining its original factory condition within the clear blister pack. Made in the USA, the assembly includes a heavy-duty snap and a direct blade-to-head connection that allows for efficient movement through aquatic vegetation.
