Quick take
The ChatterBait JackHammer is a 3/8 ounce bladed swim jig with a flat-bottom head and a stainless steel blade that starts vibrating quickly on the retrieve. Its flipping hook and double wire trailer keeper hold soft plastic trailers in place. Many walleye anglers swap the silicone skirt for a paddletail, so this bait suits bass and walleye anglers who want flash and vibration.

About this type
A lure is an artificial bait that draws a strike with its shape, color and movement.
Each kind is built for certain depths and ways of fishing.
Weight decides how far a lure casts and what rod and line it needs; color changes how visible it is in the water.
