How to Fish the Jack Hammer × Zako Combo

1. Rig It Right: Thread the Zako onto the Jack Hammer’s hook so it sits perfectly straight—the centerline molded on top of the Zako makes this easy.

2. Target Cover: Cast to grass edges, docks, or rock transitions. Start with a medium retrieve that keeps the blade thumping and the Zako swimming naturally.

3. Vary the Retrieve: Experiment with stop-and-go, slow-rolling along the bottom, or burning it just under the surface. The Jack Hammer starts vibrating immediately on the first turn of the handle.

4. Feel the Bite: Most strikes are unmistakable—a sharp thud or sudden heaviness. Set the hook hard and keep steady pressure; that Gamakatsu hook won’t let go.

This combo is proven on tournament circuits worldwide and trusted by weekend anglers alike. Whether you’re chasing smallmouth on clear lakes or largemouth in murky shallows, the Jack Hammer × Zako Combo covers water fast and finds the biggest bites.

Tight lines—and get ready for that arm-jarring strike only a ChatterBait can deliver! ⚡🐟
