The ChatterBait bladed/vibrating jig has become a staple bass fishing lure. Why? Because they're fun and easy to fish, and most importantly, catch loads of bass. This "What it Looks/Sounds" installment focuses underwater attention on several Z-Man ChatterBaits (8) to see what each one looks and sounds like underwater.
Subtle design differences can have a significant impact on bait performance in different situations. Attributes like head material and shapes, skirt ties, trailer keepers, hook manufacturers, and more, change the way each ChatterBait looks and performs. Each bait has a time and place based on design, with the full lineup providing a bladed jig solution wherever you chase bass.
We're excited to expand underwater content around the bladed jig category in future videos, so stay tuned. We'd also like to hear from you, so please drop a comment below and let us know what you'd like to see.

JackHammer is tungsten? I don’t think so

@judweaver3635 5 лет назад

I have a Jackhammer package & don't see tungsten listed anywhere. It does however have the CA Prop. 65 warning. 65 doesn't list tungsten, but it does list lead.

@Wired2Fish 5 лет назад

That's a tough one because while you are correct, the Japanese Jackhammer IS tungsten. That should have been clarified in the video and we apologize. Thanks for the heads up!

@MongoFishing 4 года назад

I don't think the Jackhammer is Tungsten. I say this for several reasons. 1. The head dents pretty easy. Bounce it off of a seawall and you will see what I mean. 2. Evergreen sells the Jackhammer and a Tungsten Jackhammer. They had a few Tungsten ones at the 2019 Forrest Wood Cup. It looks the same but the size stamp on the chin is labeled different than the regular Jackhammers.

@KitebuildingGenius 3 года назад

What I noticed is that the swing-head chatterbaits looks like the additional swiveling ability dampens the horizontal shimmy of the body of the bait, likely making it more effective for using swimbait trailers (where on a traditional chatterbait like the JackHammer, the action of the swimbait tail and the action of the bait itself can work against each other)

Whelp, guess I’m expanding the number of models of chatterbaits I’m going to be carrying. Thanks for the video. It’s really similar to any other category. Each brand and model will have a slightly different look and sound quality that make it valuable in a particular set of conditions. The fun part is figuring out which is best for the conditions I fish most.

@frankleaney6267 4 года назад

Love the swing head type chatter baits. I fish for small mouth and seem to have a higher ratio of landing them because when they jump, they can’t spit the hook as easily. Cadence? You must be military? Great chatter bait video, thank you 🙏

@Wired2Fish 4 года назад

Our pleasure and thank you, frank leaney. Smallmouth are quite acrobatic and the swinging head helps absorb the leverage they have to throw hooks for sure.

@brianrobinson9979 4 года назад

The problem that I have with the Project Z model is the length of the loop where the blade attaches to. I feel like the time it take for the blade to start "Chattering" is much longer than the rest and the loop isn't fully closed so the blade likes to get wedged and will stop chattering sometimes mid retrieve.

@melvinwhitten1760 3 года назад

The jackhammer is not the best bladed jig out there. I think the shock blade pro is the best because it does everything the jackhammer does just ass good or maybe better and cost less. 17.99 for the jackhammer and 9.99 for the shock blade pro on Tackle Warehouse. Just because something cost more does not mean its better Maybe to do a a day on the water with them both at the sametime.

@jdeanschlosser77 5 лет назад

I caught some decent ones on the micro, but it stretches out the clip. Seen a video of the jackhammer vs a generic bladed jig and it was a tie. Tells me there's no point in spending nearly 20 bucks on one when I can buy a couple cheaper ones that get the same results

@judweaver3635 5 лет назад

I've heard that the Jackhammer is the only one that has that "hunting action" & that it starts vibrating right away as opposed to having to give the lure a jerk. I definitely often have to jerk the Zman Weedless to get it going & after a deflection, so an instant start up & erratic hunting action is why I bought my 1st Jackhammer. I think they're around $15 at Gander.

The jackhammer definitely looks and sounds great but priced too high for this weekend angler. Nice video though, thanks.

@Milehighsnake98 5 лет назад

I'm a weekend angler. I have a box full of jackhammers. Why? Because they just work and work better than the originals. Think about it like this. Most anglers are "hoarders" in reality. We buy a ton of stuff we never use. How many crankbaits do you own, and how many have you caught fish on consistently? If you're like me, you have a whole box of squarebills, maybe 15-20 of them, but have only caught fish on 3 of them. At $5-10 each, you have probably $100-150 just sitting there not catching fish. A couple jackhammers on sale are $11-12 (best time to buy them) and will catch fish.

@@Wired2Fish but for the video to be solely about zman products its incorrect. Zman still doesnt offer a complete tungsten head chatterbait due to some type of licensing agreement.

Can chatterbaits be used vertically? I jig for lake trout and they love to chase lures reeled straight up. I imagine a chatter bait reeled straight up would trigger them to chase

@Arientis 10 месяцев назад

Only one way to find out

@matthewbeckwith663 10 месяцев назад

@@Arientis I was finally able to do some testing. I made some larger 2 oz swim jigs and used a fluke style trailer. During a perfectly vertical retrieve, the chatter bait worked 'ok' as it was inconsistent. Specifically, the bait at time twirls and spins rather than just wiggling back and forth. I suspect that, unlike in a horizontal retrieve, the weight of the jig is not an effective keel during a vertical retrieve. The chatter bait swims better at more of a 45 degree vertical retrieve. Where I think it will shine is hopping the jig right off the bottom. More like ripping up a flutter spoon a few feet then allowing the jig to fall on a semi slack line. Lots of thump and wiggle on the lift! On the fall, the blade causes the jig to spiral down, which I think may be a great bite trigger. Lake trout love tube jigs when they fall in a spiral.
