Quick take
A refined bladed jig with a clear blade for clear water and finesse casting on pressured bass.
The Z-Man JackHammer StealthBlade is a 3/8 oz bladed jig built for bass, with a clear polycarbonate blade that makes a different sound and vibration than the standard ChatterBait. Its oval split-ring line tie offers less surface area and fewer snag points, and the fluorocarbon-coated hook rides on lighter wire, so it can be fished on slightly lighter line. Anglers reach for it when they want bladed-jig action in clear or calm water and a more finesse approach.
Best for
- Clear water and pressured bass populations
- Finesse techniques with lighter line
- Fishing lightly and skipping into cover
Skip if
- You need a heavier bladed jig for deep water or strong current
Strengths
- Clear blade generates different sound and vibration than traditional ChatterBaits
- Lighter wire hook penetrates with minimal setting force
- Low center of gravity tracks true and skips easily
Trade-offs
- Clear polycarbonate blade does not generate visual flash like painted blades
- Lighter wire hook offers less holding power on very large bass
- Finesse design requires more casting practice than heavier bladed jigs

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.
