ZMan ChatterBait® JackHammer™

Created by pro anglers Brett Hite and Morizo Shimizo in partnership with Japanese luremaker EverGreen International, the ChatterBait® JackHammer™ is one of the most refined and eagerly awaited baits to reach the U.S. market. Its flat-bottom, low center-of-gravity head combined with a super-thin, high-strength stainless steel blade gets the JackHammer™ vibrating instantly, producing an erratic, side-to-side action that mimics a panicked baitfish. That signature head-and-blade pairing makes the lure excel at deflecting off cover and allows it to skip beneath docks and through overhanging trees like no other bladed jig.

A channeled groove along the head’s bottom places the blade so it contacts the head and generates the distinctive “chattering” sound while also locking the blade in place to prevent long-term separation. Built for durability and performance, the bait includes a Gamakatsu heavy-wire flipping hook with the optimum length, gap and razor-sharp point for an ultra-high hook-up ratio, plus a double-wire trailer keeper that secures all types of soft-plastic trailers. Premium hand-tied silicone rubber skirts in a variety of pristine patterns, along with finely detailed, color-matched head and blade finishes, give the ChatterBait® JackHammer™ a premium look and lift it well above other vibrating jigs on the market.
