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.

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.
