Museum Archive: Vintage Z-Man Z-man the Original ChatterBait, 1/4oz Chartreuse/White fishing spoon #19088

Engraved with the distinctive 'Original ChatterBait' branding, the hex-shaped stainless blade on this Z-Man specimen serves as the hallmark of a design that redefined modern bass fishing. This 1/4 oz (7 g) model features the versatile Chartreuse/White color configuration, where vibrant neon silicone strands are layered over translucent white ones, interspersed with fine silver glitter for added visual depth. The lure is built around a specialized jig head that secures the blade directly to the eyelet, paired with a heavy-gauge black nickel hook suited for casting into varied cover. A durable copper-colored collar holds the skirt in place, ensuring the profile remains consistent. Manufactured in the USA and identified by product code 19088, the specimen appears untouched by water or time, earning a condition rating of 5/5. The stamped metal blade maintains its high-polish finish, contrasting sharply against the white-painted lead head.
