About Z-Man Lure Company Z-Man® is a dynamic, Charleston, SC-based company with 25 years of manufacturing experience in the fishing tackle business. In fact, for years Z-Man has been one of the largest manufacturers of silicon skirt material in the industry. But just a few years ago, Z-Man® was a relative unknown to the fishing public. Sure, our ChatterBaits were creating a stir on the bass circuit, but only a handful of pros associated Z-Man with that dynamic, tournament-winning fishing lure. Fast forward to 2011, and there are few fishermen who don't recognize the Z-Man® brand as a fishing lure company. Simply put, Z-Man® is the fastest- growing fishing lure brand in the U.S. Our products virtually cover all fishing scenarios—from trout streams to blue water. We produce fishing baits for all species. The Original ChatterBait® still dominates the bass scene, and now these amazing fishing baits are joined by a wide selection of Z-Man's proprietary ElaZtech® soft plastics for nearly every fresh- and saltwater fishing application. ElaZtech is making its mark in the fishing bait world and fishermen are making special room in their boats for these ultra-durable workhorses. Any gamefish species can inflict plenty of damage to a soft plastic fishing bait on a good day. So why not have a soft plastic fishing lure that can stand up to the most aggressive species? ElaZtech is a remarkable material that is soft and pliable, and as much as 10X Tougher than other traditional soft plastic fishing baits. This means no more piles of torn up plastic fishing lures in the bottom of your boat at the end of the day. Manufactured entirely in South Carolina, ElaZtech fishing baits boast one of the highest fish-per-bait ratings in the industry. Unlike other soft plastics, ElaZtech is non-toxic and contains no PVC, plastisol or phthalates. Source: www.ZManfishing.com
