About Us

For more than 30 years, Charleston, SC-based Z-Man Fishing Products has prided itself on bringing technology to anglers. Since perfecting the coloration and mass production of silicone skirting in the 1980s, Z-Man has long been one of the industry's large suppliers of silicone skirt material, but until recently the Z-Man name was unknown to many fishermen. Today, Z-Man's cutting edge 10X Tough ElaZtech soft plastics and ChatterBait brand bladed jigs are among the premier fresh- and saltwater baits, positioning the company as one of the fast-growing lure brand!

Product Description

Designed by Elite Series pro Brett Hite in conjunction with Japanese luremaker Evergreen International, the ChatterBait Jack Hammer 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 vibrating quickly and move 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 and skip easily beneath docks and overhanging trees like no bladed jig before.

Jack Hammer worth every penny! Believe it!
I was skeptical but when all three of us had on chatter baits the z-man custom vs. z-man original, vs z-man jackhammer all white baits, I’m telling you I caught 10 times more bass. I even took this thing into salt water and caught small stripers with it. I recommend using braid to fluorocarbon leader worked the best for me. I run a small local Bass Tournament and just bought this the last two tournaments and won first place both. I’am stocking up on these this year. I know there expensive and you watch tons of videos and read tons of reviews I do the same but trust me this lure will make or break your fishing if you don’t have this one in your tackle box. Don’t listen to the reviews I’ve literally proved this is the best chatterbait on the market. Match this up though with a thin bait everyone uses the kietechs swim baits I don’t like them too much profile. I use lunker hunts minnows and cut heads off they work amazing and look so real my favorite is the perch style bait. Trust me the price is worth the lure. Last tournament I picked up this 6.6 pound monster and a total of 15.7 pound 5 fish by myself and was throwing fish back. Get it

5.0 out of 5 stars Jack Hammer Beats the Orignial Chatterbait EVERY TIME!
Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2021
Color: Chartreuse whiteSize: 1/2 ozVerified Purchase
First off, the original Chatterbait is still an excellent bait, but if you are in tighter spots (i.e., branches, overhangs, rocks, structure), then the Jack Hammer is the way to go! The primary benefit of the Jackhammer over the original Chatterbait is its quick action... even on the downfall the blade begins to chatter, allowing you to alert bass early and get them to strike often. I have caught about the same quality of bass on both the orignal Chatterbait and the Jack Hammer Chatterbait, but I have caught a higher quantity since switching to the Jack Hammer.

Pros:
- Colors and trailers all work well regardless of water type, water stain, foilage, etc.
- The chatter begins the instance the lure hits the water.
- Slighlty larger presentation also attracts fish quicker.

Cons:
- Price variance of ~$15 between the original Chatterbait and the Jack Hammer Chatterbait.

Color: Multi,WhiteSize: 1/2 ozVerified Purchase
This year I’ve caught my pb smallmouth (3.94lbs) and my pb channel cat (23lbs) on this white Jack hammer. Everything from big smallies in his one foot of clear water with heavy current, to muddy tidal flats, to live scoping 20’ deep largemouth. Just get some superflukes for trailers and you’re good to go.

I’ve lost about 12 of these getting hooked on cover and have never caught a fish with it, but it is solidly built. My friends swear by them, so I must just be terrible at fishing with them.

Bhite Delight is the juice! Had to order a new one because I finally lost my old one, but let me tell you this: my old one was so beat up, the head was almost totally unpainted and the blade was the same way. And I still caught fish after fish with it. I used this color for any water that wasn’t dark (EX any time after the sun was up until maybe 7pm/dusk) Jackhammers are worth the extra cash if you can swing it. I also would recommend any of the Project Z bladed jigs as well

One of my favorite lures. It's a bit pricey compared to the original chatterbait, but it clearly has a superior action. Blade paint wore off pretty quickly but it does not seem to impact catching ability.
