Z-Man Chatterbait Jack Hammer 3/8 Green Pumpkin

The Z-Man Chatterbait Jack Hammer 3/8 Green Pumpkin is a bladed swim jig built to perform in tournament conditions and everyday bass fishing alike.

Green pumpkin is a time-tested color that matches natural forage and produces across a wide range of water clarity and seasonal conditions.

At 3/8 ounce, this chatterbait suits shallow to moderate depths and casting distances typical of bass fishing in lakes, ponds, and rivers. Whether you're working grass beds, fallen timber, or transition zones, the Jack Hammer's balanced construction and reliable blade action make it a go-to choice when you need a lure that generates reaction bites.
