    ✔ Ships within 1–2 business days

    BACKWATER TACKLE NOTES The Jack Hammer has become one of the top-producing chatterbaits for anglers across Kentucky, Tennessee, and the Ohio River region. We’ve had excellent success around shallow grass, laydowns, and stained water conditions where the aggressive vibration helps fish locate the bait quickly. PAIR IT WITH Zako-style trailers Spunk Shad trailers Razor Shad trailers LOCAL CONFIDENCE COLORS Green Pumpkin White Chartreuse/White BEST SEASONS Spring prespawn Fall shad bite Overcast summer mornings DESCRIPTION Designed by Elite Series pros Brett Hite and Morizo Shimizu, the Z-Man ChatterBait Jack Hammer is one of the most refined and highly anticipated vibrating jigs to ever hit the U.S. market. Featuring an exclusive low center of gravity head with a flat bottom and a super-thin yet super-strong stainless steel blade, this combination ensures the Jack Hammer starts vibrating quickly while also allowing it to hunt side-to-side like a real baitfish. Its signature head and blade combo allow it to deflect off cover very easily and also make it a great choice for skipping under docks. A channeled groove along the bottom of the head positions the blade low enough to strike the head and produce its signature “chattering” sound. The groove also prevents the blade from dropping out of the eyelet, ensuring it never stops vibrating. Premium hand-tied silicone rubber skirts in a range of proven colors provide additional lifelike action, while a Gamakatsu Heavy Wire Hook ensures an ultra-high hookup ratio. A double-wire baitkeeper holds your soft plastic trailers securely in place as well. The number one choice of renowned “Bladed Jig Master” Brett Hite, the Z-Man ChatterBait Jack Hammer is responsible for more tour-level tournament wins than any other vibrating jig on the market.

    ZMAN ChatterBait Jack Hammer StealthBlade Bladed Jig

    ✔ Ships within 1–2 business days

    DESCRIPTION A valuable combination of refined energy, unpredictable action and visual stealth, the new Z-Man JackHammer StealthBlade adds an exciting new chapter to the book of the bladed jig.  The driving force behind the patented new ChatterBait design, a clear polycarbonate blade produces a totally different sound and vibration, but like its predecessor, starts thumping intensely with the first half-turn of the reel handle. The blade’s specialized oval split-ring line tie increases stealth, and offers less surface area and no protrusions to catch vegetation or other snags.  Armed with a lighter wire, custom Decoy® fluorine nanocoated hook, the StealthBlade can be cast on slightly lighter line and penetrates the jaws of bass with less hook-setting effort. To preserve the StealthBlade’s high-level, ultra-durable JackHammer heritage and performance, silicone skirts are hand-tied with stainless steel wire. Dual wire trailer keepers pin soft plastic trailers in place for the long haul.  The StealthBlade’s low center of gravity, fish-shaped head tracks true and skips easily. When the situation suggests a bladed jig, but instinct advises finesse, the ChatterBait JackHammer StealthBlade becomes the smartest play of the day.
