MINNEAPOLIS – FLW, the world’s premier tournament-fishing organization, and Z-Man Fishing Products, Inc., manufacturer of the Original ChatterBait brand bladed jig and 10X Tough ElaZtech soft plastics, have announced a sponsorship agreement. The agreement marks the fourth consecutive year of partnership for the two organizations and lasts through the 2014 season. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Z-Man is one of the fastest-growing companies in the sportfishing industry and has achieved success with innovations like the new-for-2014 QuadZilla four-arm spinnerbait. Of late, Z-Man has offered high-quality plastics in its ElaZtech line. Z-Man’s ElaZtech material is the toughest soft plastic on the market – resisting nicks, cuts, and tears, yet is still pliable and naturally buoyant. New 2014 products utilizing ElaZtech include the DieZel MinnowZ, Turbo CrawZ and Scented LeechZ. Z-Man’s most proven producer is the ChatterBait, which has become a mainstay among serious tournament anglers like Luke Clausen, and now can be found in most anglers’ tackle boxes.

Z-Man will receive exposure across all of FLW’s platforms, including its tournaments and Expos, multiple websites, social media and FLW Bass Fishing magazine.
