ChatterBait Jack Hammer

The Ultimate Tournament-Ready Bladed Jig

Co-designed by Elite Series pros Brett Hite and Morizo Shimizu, the Z-Man ChatterBait Jack Hammer is a finely tuned, tournament-proven vibrating jig that delivers unmatched action, vibration, and versatility. Known as the most refined bladed jig in its class, the Jack Hammer features a low center of gravity head with a flat bottom, paired with an ultra-thin stainless steel blade to produce instant vibration and a side-to-side hunting action that mimics a fleeing baitfish.

Built for performance in any scenario, this jig skips easily under docks, deflects off cover, and maintains constant vibration thanks to a channeled head groove that keeps the blade in optimal position—even during heavy cover retrieves. Outfitted with premium hand-tied silicone skirts, a Gamakatsu heavy wire hook, and a double-wire trailer keeper, the Jack Hammer is the go-to choice for serious anglers and top-level pros.
