Z-MAN ChatterShad 4.5in. Pearl 4pk
The Z-Man ChatterShad 4.5-inch Pearl is a purpose-built soft plastic trailer engineered to pair with ChatterBait jigs and deliver the erratic, high-vibration action that bass find irresistible. Built from Z-Man's ElaZtech material, this four-pack gives you four rigged presentations ready to deploy on the water. The slim minnow profile and thin fan tail work together to mimic distressed baitfish, while the diamond-shaped cross-section of the body amplifies vibration transmission through the water column—letting bass home in from distance even in stained conditions.
The V-shaped ridges molded along the shad's body add another layer of motion, creating a more lifelike wobble than solid plastics. At 4.5 inches, it's compact enough to load on a 3/8 to 5/8 ounce ChatterBait head without sacrificing the profile bass expect. Z-Man manufactures these in the USA, so you're getting quality control and consistency in every bait out of the pack.
Pearl is a versatile color choice that works well as a general-purpose forage imitation in clear to moderately stained water. Whether you're power-fishing shallow cover, working mid-depth ledges, or burning a bait along a grass line, the ChatterShad trailer gives you a proven soft plastic option that complements the trademark vibration of a ChatterBait head.
