Description

A valuable combination of refined energy, unpredictable action and visual stealth, the ChatterBait® JackHammer™ StealthBlade™ adds an exciting new chapter to the book of the bladed jig. The driving force behind this new ChatterBait® design, a clear polycarbonate blade, produces a totally different sound and vibration, but like its predecessor, starts thumping intensely with the first half-turn of the reel handle. The blade's specialized oval split-ring line tie increases stealth and offers less surface area and no protrusions to catch vegetation or other snags. Armed with a lighter wire, custom Decoy® fluorine nanocoated hook, the StealthBlade™ can be cast on slightly lighter line needed for more subtle presentations and penetrates the jaws of bass with less hook-setting effort. To preserve this bait’s high-level, ultra-durable JackHammer™ heritage and performance, silicone skirts are layered with painstaking detail for perfect color schemes and hand-tied with stainless steel wire. Dual wire trailer keepers pin soft plastic trailers in place for the long haul. 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 ChatterBait® JackHammer™ StealthBlade™ becomes the smartest play of the day.

Field Notes

Use this as a finesse bladed jig when bass want a subtler presentation than a standard chatterbait. It excels around vegetation, docks, and other cover where the stealth blade, reduced snagging, and skipping ability help you cover water and trigger reaction bites. Best worked with a steady retrieve or a stop-and-go cadence to keep the blade thumping and the trailer moving.

Pros

  • Stealthy clear blade reduces flash and snagging
  • Thumping vibration with a more subtle profile
  • Good skipping and cover-fishing performance
  • Dual trailer keepers help hold soft-plastic trailers

Cons

  • Not ideal when fish want maximum flash or loud vibration
  • Requires trailer selection to complete the presentation
