Designed by Elite Series pro Brett Hite in conjunction with Japanese luremaker Evergreen International, the Zman Jack Hammer Chatterbait is among the most refined and highly anticipated baits to ever hit the U.S. market. Its flat-bottom, low center of gravity head and super thin, strong stainless steel blade enable the Jack Hammer to start chattering quickly and hunt in an erratic, side-to-side motion, just like a frantic baitfish. Its signature head and blade combo allow it to deflect off cover very easily as well, and also allows it to skip easily beneath docks and overhanging trees like no bladed jig before.

A channeled groove along the bottom of the head positions the blade low enough to strike the head, producing a signature “chattering” sound while also preventing the blade from detaching from the head. Adding to the bait's overall durability and effectiveness, a Gamakatsu heavy wire flipping hook features the ideal length, gap, and razor sharp point to ensure an ultra high hook-up ratio, while a double wire trailer keeper holds all types of soft plastic trailers securely in place. Premium hand-tied silicone rubber skirts in a range of immaculate patterns along with highly detailed, color-matched head and blade paint schemes provide a top-notch appearance and help vault the ChatterBait Jack Hammer several notches above any other bladed jig on the market today!

Although they can’t see it at first, predators in the neighborhood can feel its pulse, the Z-Man Evergreen Chatterbait JackHammer Stealth Blade delivers a sweet tune that pings lateral lines and incites mandibles to snap. The driving force behind the patented new ChatterBait design, a clear polycarbonate blade produces a totally different sound and chatter, but like its predecessor, starts thumping intensely with the first half-turn of the reel handle.

To stick any predator that takes a swing at this bladed jig, it comes armed with a light, custom Decoy fluorine-coated hook, which allows the it to be cast on a slightly lighter line and hookup the jaws of bass with less hook-setting effort. To preserve the StealthBlade’s high-level, ultra-durable 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 while 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 Z-Man Evergreen Chatterbait JackHammer Stealth Blade becomes the smartest play of the day.
