Description

Cultivated to combat the toughest bass fisheries in Japan, America and beyond, the JackHammer Baby Jack once again combines the collective wisdom of Z-Man Fishing and EverGreen International—co-created by ChatterBait prodigies Brett Hite and Morizo Shimizu. Equipped with a downsized stainless steel ChatterBlade® and high-grade DECOY Egg Snap, the Baby Jack operates at a higher vibrational frequency with subtle flickers of visual flash. Sharing the JackHammer’s acclaimed instant-start vibration, the Baby Jack leans on its direct blade-to-head connection to deflect cover, produce relentless blade/jighead collisions and generate vibrant ChatterBait music. A compact jighead sculpt and rear weight distribution (and enlarged collar) yield perfect lure balance and natural horizontal posture. Combined, the Baby blade and head enable longer, wind-resistant casts and the physique to cut water fast and stay deep without planning toward the surface. The Baby Jack is armed with a custom, medium wire 3/0 DECOY hook, lean yet wicked sharp and powerful enough to beat the meanest bass. Features a dual wire trailer keeper for locking down ElaZtech® and other soft plastic trailers. Offered in three sizes—1/4-, 3/8- and 1/2-ounce—and ten pro-select color patterns. Downsized stainless steel blade and DECOY Egg Snap Starts vibrating immediately with direct to head connection Smaller head with enlarged collar for a compact profile and improved balance Wire tied silicone skirts Deflects cover to prevent snagging Blade strikes the head to produce unique sound High hookup ratio with custom medium wire 3/0 DECOY hook Holds ElaZtech and other soft plastic trailers securely with dual wire keepers Skips easily thanks to head design and compact profile

Field Notes

Use around cover where bass are feeding and you want a compact vibrating presentation with strong flash and vibration. It is built to start moving immediately and stay down in the water column, making it useful for casting along weeds, wood, docks, and other deflection targets with soft-plastic trailers.

Pros

  • Instant-start vibration
  • Compact profile with good balance
  • Longer, wind-resistant casts
  • Works well with soft-plastic trailers

Cons

  • Can be too aggressive in very clear or heavily pressured water
  • Best results usually require trailer tuning and steady retrieve
