Z-Man Elite Evo

The Refined Chatterbait from Z-Man

The Z-Man Elite Evo is a chatterbait that won its category at the ICAST in 2023 and has been producing excellent catches ever since. With the Elite Evo, Z-Man made a series of considered refinements to an already outstanding lure, pushing performance even further. The result is a strong addition to the tackle box for any predator angler.

A Purpose-Built Hook with Dual Trailer Retention

The Z-Man Elite Evo is fitted with a Needlepoint Black Nickel hook developed by Z-Man pro Stephen Browning, delivering excellent hook-up rates alongside great structural strength. To keep the trailer firmly in place, the hook shank features a combination of a Wirekeeper and a Split Grip - two retention points working together to ensure the trailer stays put, cast after cast.

Colour-Matched Skirt and Head

Z-Man has made sure that the head and silicone skirt of the Elite Evo are colour-matched throughout. The skirt itself is secured to the hook with a wire fixing, making it far more resistant to the punishment that pike bites can dish out - thread wrappings tend not to survive for long. The specially shaped jig head does more than look the part: its form is designed to support the action of the Elite Evo and contributes directly to its excellent running behaviour. Completing the visual package, the head is fitted with oversized, holographic 3D eyes for an eye-catching finish.

Proven and Patented Blade Technology

The blade on the Z-Man Elite Evo carries on the brand's proven, patented technology. The hexagonal blade shape is trademarked, and the direct head-to-blade connection is patented - ensuring the lure kicks into action immediately and delivers its full fish-catching potential from the very first turn of the handle. Depending on the colour, the blade is coated, painted or finished with glitter. The Elite Evo draws strikes from largemouth bass, pike and zander. Perch also respond well to it, though the size 5/0 hook means you'll predominantly be targeting the larger specimens of the species.
