ZMAN Is BIG MAD About This New Bait!

[@TheBassHookup]

Great video! You do an awesome job with production and your pours are fire. Keep it up!!!

[@baitchuckin]

Thanks Nick!! I appreciate the support and the opportunity to work together on the video! Can’t wait for more!! 🙌🏼

Wowza, catch fish or not, you definitely caught this fisherman!!! Great colors and great content!! Thank you Michael for all you do for the bait making community!!

[@baitchuckin]

I appreciate that! Thank you for all the support brother!!! 🙏🏼

Dude!!!!!! Nice!!!!!!! Job!!!!!! Wow. Gorgeous matches w the color.

Great stuff Michael. Those pours and colors are awesome. Congrats on the 4k and undoubtedly will keep growing. Hope you keep getting on em!

Thanks Keith!!! We still need to link up for a boat outing sometime soon!!

Thank You!!

Wow!!! The colors on the shimmer gill is nothing short of awesome!!!!

Thanks brother!! 🙌🏼

[@PaulKrueger-is9lj]

Congratulations to all the winners 🎉

[@baitchuckin]

Thank You 🙏🏼

[@MaineStreamFishing]

they look nice! Idk about more sound in clearer waters but its def worth a try. I also agree about the patten thing... gotta be prepared to get better and evolve. Berkley doesn't have a patten on their scent! you also have to disclose everything so that no can copy the exact way you are doing it. Thats why they didn't do a patten

[@baitchuckin]

Yeah the loudness helps more in muddy waters. I use both the jackhammer and the copperhead depending on the situation that day.

[@nwtreasure5983]

Thanks Michael! Love the content and winning stuff is even better! Keep making great videos and I’ll be with you on the way to your first 100k!

[@baitchuckin]

Thank You for the support!!!

[@CoosaKraken]

you sold me on the shimmer gill im going to be order some copper heads soon.. love the trailer wish it was availble

[@baitchuckin]

I think you can order some Darter Trailers from Last Swim Customs.

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

Good stuff my friend! Since I make my own I hadn’t heard of the Copperhead - love the innovation! The airbrushing on the head was killer too. 🤌 New pigments are lookin’ dope!!

I cant wait to get some Pixie dust. And I'm about to pull up Star Wars ,A new hope. I just saw it in your background. Love the old ones. I was 8 years old when A New Hope came out. And that was EPIC

[@baitchuckin]

Awesome!! The Pixie 🧚‍♀️ Dust should be available in the next few weeks. 💪🏼

[@adwhite804]

1st gen makes a ton of great stuff. I do some tying in the jaw droppers for a buddy of mine for the Potomac River. Seems to like them . Even modeled one to be a bladed jig. Crazy action, he's had success on. And he hates "chatter" "bladed" baits/jigs

[@baitchuckin]

Yeah I’ve been very impressed with a lot of the baits from the 1st gen team! 💪🏼

[@therustybowtie203]

New subscriber here first video, absolutely love the video animations, enthusiasm, baits ect. Learning what I can to hopefully start making my own. And that shimmergill is killer!

[@baitchuckin]

SWEET! Thank You for the new Sub!! I appreciate the kind words and support! The Shimmer Gill was probably my favorite of the two as well.

[@michaelbradley25]

Great job Michael they both look awesome. 1st fish of the season came on a Chart/White Copperhead bladed jig 5.36lbs.

[@kirkallen1246]

This is pretty cool stuff, Really enjoyed the video

[@baitchuckin]

Awesome, thank you!

[@WMBayouLures]

100% agree on your patent take, I recently made a video on the same subject and how they even extended the patent that was about to expire. They don't really have a choice of who they go after though, they have to go after EVERYONE or they will lose the patent. Off to order some copperheads!

[@twiggsherman3641]

It's funny Zman keeps trying to patent this thing, while they turn around and rip-off the Dark Sleeper and every other bait that comes along. I order my Jackhammers from Japan. It's cheaper because they don't have to pay the Zman tax. Its just difficult finding a supplier that'll ship to North America. I have zero qualms about ripping off Zman and refuse to buy any of their products.

[@baitchuckin]

Ohh I must have missed this one, I’m going to head over and check it out. Thanks for watching! 🙌🏼

[@stillwaterbaitco]

As always awesome video man I love seeing your stuff. Yeah their reaction to that is why I won't buy any z-man product again.any of their stuff that I had I sold or got rid of

[@shawntitsworth4878]

Great vid brother. Love your color shifts in your soft plastics. I’m a bait maker myself. Adam over at SDG and SmallJaw inspired me to start about 3 years ago. Wondering do you sell your soft plastics?

[@baitchuckin]

Thank you for the support!! I don’t sell my baits yet, working on packaging now so I can do bait drops! Stay tuned!

[@davidcrump2348]

I love the epic blue/purple color shift

[@PudJigs]

Great build! Hopefully more skirt ties in the future.

[@baitchuckin]

I don't do any tying at the moment. I need to watch some of Adam's beginner videos and see if I could get the hang of it. It doesn't look too terribly complicated. I just have my head wrapped around soft plastic colors at the moment.

[@edwardobenitez4462]

You definitely nailed those color matches and made it difficult to just pick 1...Shimer Gill would probably be the 1 I pick first!

[@baitchuckin]

Yeah that was my favorite too!

Where did you get that mat you use for your knives you stir your plastic with? I like that a lot.

[@baitchuckin]

I get it on Amazon. If you look in the video description, I have a link to my amazon affiliate store that has all of the equipment that I use in my shop. The silicone spoon mat is in there.

[@youremomsvilleplayzmc9528]

Those look amazing! I am curious what the look like in the water. I would like to see the tail action. Great color matching!

[@baitchuckin]

I have a whole video on the darter trailer if you want to check it out. Lots of slow motion action footage in that video.

[@mikem2590]

Both colors are very nice.Good work.Love the look of those trailers.

[@baitchuckin]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@avalanchefishing5725]

Can’t rest on your past if you want to move forward, patents are good because other companies can innovate new ways of doing things to get around the patent and sometimes for the better.

[@baitchuckin]

I agree! The focus should be on innovation and pushing the market forward! 💪🏼

[@michaeldawson9756]

That copperheads going to work well in dirty water.

[@baitchuckin]

Yup, that’s why it does great at the Delta! 💪🏼

[@DividedWeAllFall]

I would definitely throw both of those! I am gonna have to order some of those copperheads!

[@baitchuckin]

You should! I throw both depending on the situation!

@@baitchuckin ahh man. I'm literally re watching the shed build out videos at this very moment right now trying to get some ideas you have many great ones. I hope your doing well and staying safe my friend

[@Steve-ev6vx]

Im sticking with Z-man

[@baitchuckin]

I suggest trying the copperhead. I throw both the jackhammer and copperhead depending on the situation.

[@Steve-ev6vx]

@@baitchuckin Ill definitely give it a try. I'm also debating how I'm gonna epoxy copper beads onto a Jackhammer head. Need to find some spilt brass beads.

[@AsianAmerican113]

I know for a fact on a retrieve that copper head is not hitting anywhere close to those bb’s. The reason Z-man has the patent is bc it hits the head on retrieve and it you look at the copperhead it wouldn’t be close to doing that on a retrieve, maybe sometimes but any chatterbait that isn’t straight head I’ve tried and it’s not better at all. IMO I’d rather have a chatterbait that runs straight rather than hunt. You gotta think a lot of fish that hit these baits are reaction strikes. Z Man shouldn’t worry about these at all.

[@baitchuckin]

I use both the jackhammer and the copperhead depending on the water situation. They are both great tools to have in the tackle box. 👍🏼

[@AsianAmerican113]

@@baitchuckin That’s fair I will say the copperhead seems like it would be great in muddy or heavily stained water. I did see some reviews saying the copperhead rises extremely fast and that’s the problem I have with the vibrating jigs that have the split ring and no direct connection to the head, it won’t stay down and rises upwards.

[@perrycook711]

In all fairness, Zman may have a patient on the blade, and the way it is attached, but they stolen the wobble from scrounger

[@baitchuckin]

Ohh I didn’t know that. I wanna look into the scrounge now.

[@davidcrump2348]

If that’s the case then they need to leave everyone else alone about their patents if they stole someone else’s patent. Unless the owner of the patent allowed them to use it.

[@bobbyswain7049]

I'd throw em both.......both look fantastic

[@baitchuckin]

That’s what I do, I throw both the jackhammer and the Copperhead.

[@baitchuckin]

Sweet!! Thank you and welcome to the channel!

[@jasondadudetoo4176]

Gonna get some copper heads eventually.....

[@johnhodson3200]

Normally the bladed jigs with the split ring connector have a slow start up speed. Plus need to be reeled at a faster pace to keep it vibrating. How is that one, be honest

[@baitchuckin]

It has a large blade and definitely needs a good reel to start vibrating, however once it’s going you can slow it way down. You can’t creep it but you can go decently slow with it. 👍🏼 it’s definitely worth trying one out. Great for stained water. It’s LOUD. They nailed that part.

[@roderunnr450]

How can we buy some of those chatterbait trailers? Do you sell them?

[@baitchuckin]

No I don’t sell them at this time. Working on packaging for my baits right now so I can start dropping baits on the website.

[@gilbertperez2135]

Got an idea for a new bait can you give me some ideas how to go about making it and launching it would appreciate it

[@baitchuckin]

Well how you make it would depend on what type of bait it is. What did you have in mind? Can you describe the style without giving it away?

[@xxPigpen]

Thanks for all the videos and inspiration 👍

[@baitchuckin]

My pleasure! Thanks for watching!

[@BassDudeFishn]

The problem with the Copper Head is no direct connection of the blade to the head. Many anglers prefer direct connection. Many anglers fish bladed jigs in grass and I see grass getting caught on the split ring connecting the jig head and blade.

[@baitchuckin]

I haven’t had any grass issues yet. Knock on wood 🤣 but I use both the jackhammer and copperhead depending on the situation.

[@robinallen8773]

I love the two colors you made so I I’d throw both! How can I buy them?

[@baitchuckin]

I don’t sell baits yet but I’m working on packaging now! Stay tuned!!

[@ryancantrell6480]

Are you familiar with the YUM Wooly plastics line? Ive been looking for a baitmaker to replicate a 2 or 2.5" curly tail jig in blk/chartreuse! Ive talked to YuM and they wont sell me the mold and they dont plan on bringing this line back! Which is gd stupid but whatever! Let me know what you think about a few of these jigs! Thanks, Fish On.

[@baitchuckin]

No I am not familiar with the YUM Wooly lineup. Was there a bait in particular you liked? I might be able to recognize a bait mold that is similar for you.

[@ryancantrell6480]

@@baitchuckin WOOLY line was pretty much a ribbed texture! They still make wooly creatures and jig trailers just not the curly tail grub.

[@todayontheinternet9576]

Someone starts making stuff like this at $3 a lure and you'll own the market, these < $11 lures are tough to justify.

[@baitchuckin]

Yeah I think a lot of the US companies are seeing the prices that the JDM companies are charging and inflating their own products. What's really fishy is that all of them started raising prices on the same baits at the same times.

[@CHASIN_A_BASS]

Sounds like a good muddy water bait maybe

[@baitchuckin]

Yeah it works great on the dirty delta!

[@BarrettBivensFishing]

want to buy those baits for chatterbait

[@davidcrump2348]

I hate zman products, I will buy anybody else’s lure, as long as they don’t have to pay zman a penny. Won’t buy from companies that have a license agreement with zman also. Due to zman big head approach to their patent. They can keep their junk. Now 1 gen I will purchase their product, let’s just be honest their product just rocks, looking at it.

The copperhead is good. But as I've mentioned in several replies, I use both the copperhead and the Jackhammer. I don't hate Z-Man personally, but I also don't agree with some of their business tactics.

[@jeremybrinlee1965]

Here is an idea...... Try to be innovative and create new and exciting things instead of spending your time trying to work around the patents that someone else holds so you can copy their invention.

[@baitchuckin]

It's not about copying, it's about innovation. Trying to take an idea and innovate on it to make it better. There is also supply and demand to take into account. I don't agree with copying someone invention, but if you can take an idea, and push it forward to make something better then I'm all for it. It's ultimately a win for consumers, but if it's not any better, then yeah, it's just a knock-off that does a similar thing in a worse way. In response to your original comment though... can you imagine living a world where you can only purchase one type of car from only one brand, because nobody was allowed to innovate on Henry Ford's combustible engine?

[@davidthomas2921]
