Freedom Tackle and Z-Man Team Up!
Z-Man Fishing Products, maker of The Original
ChatterBait brand bladed swim jigs and 10X Tough ElaZtech® soft plastics, is
pleased to introduce the ChatterBait Freedom vibrating jig as a new addition to
its ever-evolving lineup at the 2016 GEICO Bassmaster Classic. Widely regarded
as the ‘Super Bowl of bass fishing,’ the event will take place March 4-6 on
Grand Lake O’ the Cherokees in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
The ChatterBait Freedom launch is the culmination of a
product partnership between Z-Man and Canada-based Freedom Tackle Corp. that merges Z-Man’s patented head-to-blade connection with
Freedom Tackle’s interchangeable, swinging-hook design made possible by the company’s
proprietary internal connection. The result is an all-new bladed jig that
allows for easy hook changes, infinite lure customization and snag-free
fishing. As important, the new product launch showcases the sharing of
advancements and intellectual property between two tackle companies that also
share the common goal of providing anglers with a unique—and genuinely
better—product offering.
“We’ve been prototyping and testing bladed jigs with
swinging hooks for several years now, and the best design we’ve found—bar
none—is Freedom Tackle’s interchangeable hook design because it not only allows
for easy customization and weedless rigging, but prevents fouling altogether,”
states Z-Man President, Daniel Nussbaum. “While other companies in the industry
seem intent on copying and working around the intellectual property of others,
we felt that we could provide anglers with the best product possible by
partnering with another innovator like Freedom.”
