EVERGREEN JACKHAMMER BABY JACK 1/4OZ CHATTERBAIT

Evergreen Jackhammer Baby Jack 1/4oz

The Evergreen Jackhammer Baby Jack 1/4oz is a compact, high-performance bladed jig developed by Morizo Shimizu and Brett Hite, designed to deliver the legendary Jackhammer action in a smaller, more finesse-driven profile. Built to excel in pressured waters and shallow environments, the Baby Jack retains the signature vibration, sound, and fish-catching power of the original—while offering enhanced versatility and subtlety.

This downsized 1/4oz model is ideal for shallow water, smaller forage matching, and high-pressure fisheries, where a more compact presentation makes all the difference.

Key Features

• Compact “Baby Jack” Profile – Smaller silhouette for pressured fish and finesse applications
• 1/4oz Shallow Water Design – Perfect for skinny water and slow, controlled retrieves
• Low Center of Gravity Head – Improves stability and quick recovery after contact
• Flat Head Base – Enhances skipping under cover and structure
• Ultra-Thin Stainless Steel Blade (0.35mm) – Delivers sharp, responsive vibration
• Rear-Weighted Balance – Improves casting distance and swimming stability
• Medium Wire Custom Hook (Decoy) – Strong yet suited for lighter tackle setups
• Double Wire Keeper System – Maximum trailer grip and reduced slippage
• Hand-Tied Silicone Skirt – Optimised for natural movement with a compact profile
• Egg Snap (#1.5) – Strong, compact snap for optimal blade performance

Action & Performance

• Produces a tight, high-frequency “hyper vibration”
• Can be retrieved faster at the same depth compared to the original
• Excels in:
  • Shallow water and flats
  • Weedy areas and light cover
  • Small rivers, ponds, and pressured fisheries
• Can be worked like a subsurface wakebait on steady retrieve
• Smaller blade reduces resistance, allowing:
  • Faster retrieves
  • Better control
  • Easier weed deflection

Performance Advantages

• Increased casting distance despite lighter weight
• Highly effective in high-pressure environments
• Ideal for matching smaller baitfish and forage
• Easier to fish from the bank or in tight areas
• Offers a different vibration profile to trigger non-responsive fish

Design Highlights

• Blade-to-head contact generates both vibration and sound attraction
• Grooved head design prevents blade dislodgement
• Rear-weighted collar improves balance and acts as a keel
• Reduced skirt volume enhances compactness and realism
