Worth their price, I think not. Better than everything else I have tried, I think so.

Personally, I think they're worth every cent. I've witnessed more than enough to say they are worth the money. I've had some remarkable days with a Jackhammer. There isn't a better bait to throw during the pre-spawn/spawn for big fish.

It is hands down as good as advertised. Its the only chatterbait I throw. This spring I fished down a bank with a spinnerbait, turn back around an hit it with the Jackhammer & caught a 9.11lber. Im not saying he wouldnt have bit another bait, but Im confident it will land the ones that bite it.

For the Jackhammer guys, what trailer are you using? Also, are you a fan of White, Green P. or Black and Blue? I still throw the original Chatterbait with the gold head and a Ayu swimbait trailer. Seems to keep catching fish, although you have to have alot of superglue to keep the trailer on. Thanks in advance for the answers.

Im going to check out those customs. May get a couple jackhammers & use them only on tournament days.

The original D&M Piranha was the best balded jig I ever used. I haven't tried the jackhammer, but it looks to be similar, just with a different blade design. I wish they would make one with a little wider blade. As a side note - I know there is someone making custom baits that mimic the Piranha almost exactly... Does anyone know who this is?

I liked those much better than the original Chatterbaits. thumb

Nothing worse then having a fish on, only to reel in just the blade because the thing fell apart! Good to know the jackhammer is solid.

They get bit. Worth the money? Depends on your personal opinion. Others may feel it is a waste.

I panicked when I read on here that they were being discontinued. Ending up buying all I could from a store in Arizona.

I use a Strike King Blade Minnow or a Super fluke. I either use Green Shad or Green Pumpkin.

Oh Man! I just lost my last one last fall. The hook had been sharpened almost down to the barb. I would have swam for that lure, the hook broke in my hands after being straightened over and over. Easily caught over 100 fish on that one. Talk about a confidence bait. Wish I could find a few!

The way the blade is attached to the head. No split ring on the originals

Fished a tourney and was killing them on the JH. Had a limit in less than half an hour and I won. My nonboater threw a different brand and had nothing. They have won me enough to offset the cost and I love them
