The Jackhammer has been the one that works in heavily pressured waters for me. Totally sold on them with the Zako. Really enjoy your afternoon outings Debo, thanks.
Dang that was a lot of feesh dude! I'm most impressed with the fact that you went so long without getting hung. All my higher priced stuff usually happens in like 30 minutes.🤣👊🎣
I bought my first baitcaster setup last night. The Lews LFS Speedspool/Speedstick combo. And I picked up a Zman Chatter Bait to go along with it. The Zman is the only bait I could get the fish to consistently hit on in the late afternoon heat (90*). Definitely made my first bass oriented trip a good one.
In my opinion, the strength of the jackhammer is how quick and consistent that blade kicks. For stop and stutter or ripping through grass, it is phenomenal. If you're just chucking and winding, save your money.
Quickly becoming one of my favorites to watch not only for the info and to gain some knowledge, it just doesn’t hurt that you like to cut up & not take yourself too seriously. It’s refreshing appreciated. Tight lines, my friend.
I know I slayed them yesterday on the jack hammer, caught 18 of them (and only a couple dinks) & lost a couple decent ones too. Not so sure I would’ve had quite as much success on a regular chatterbait. Maybe give it a shot next time out with your buddy. Throw the same color, trailer, etc. One throw the jack hammer, the other dude throw a regular chatter. Would make for a good video, just sayin. Keep up the great videos DEBO, not enough bank fishing vids out there. Tight lines brother 🤙
I have a horrible sinus infection and so want to go out in fish in the morning. Your videos are saving me. If I can’t go out and fish I can get by with your videos. 🔥🔥
I fell into the Jackhammer trap... and personally I've found myself getting away from Zman bladed jigs. But it def put in some work for you Debo! Keep iy up man, like I've said, you've been a driving force for me and my channel. Appreciate you!!
Yeah, it's so tough to tell man. They catch fish but would the custom have done just as well? Appreciate that a lot man. Keep doing your thing. Hope your channel explodes!
In my experience, that fluke trailer makes all the difference in the world. Either white or dark silver shad catches fish mostly year around. Using the original not the jackhammer, but it's still one of my top 3 producing lures. I could probably finance a F-150 lightning for the cost of chatterbaits I've lost
I still think you and Randizzle need to go head to head with separate baits. The jackhammer vs the regular chatter, the weird wake head chatter style vs the chatter, and the soft head chatter vs the original chatter. Loving's the videos man! Thanks again for all of the lessons, tips and tricks!!!
Debo love the videos. I am an avid chatterbait fisherman and have always wondered if the jackhammers are worth the money. After watching this video may have to give them a try.
Still waiting for my shout out for showing you that pond!!! 😜😜😜 Glad you hooked up with a bunch of bessies! Also, I've bought a couple lefty combos like yours @13fishing and I find myself holding it differently than I normally do. Great feesh! Go hawks!
It IS the jackhammer Debo. Well worth the price. For me the blue gill 3/8 oz jackhammer works best in my ponds. Keep up the great videos. Very inspiring.
Great night! I've been doing better since the heat of August has let up here in Kansas. Esp before the storms last Friday. On the other hand watched my last frog go flying in to Lake of the Ozarks at bro in law's lake house. Frayed line kills!lol Well done feeeshin friend!
Really good video Debo really enjoyed it I don't know about the reel with bushings , thanks for your time and effort really appreciate your video's 👊👊👍
You deserve many more subs than you got, you seen like a very honest down to earth person I just got home from church and the sermon was about fishing and having fish to eat in heaven totally amazing sermon I enjoy your videos more than any fishing channel on TH-cam or Instagram , wishing you the best always and tight lines that are not caused by reeds lol.
Thank you very much, Alvin! I'm just excited for all of the subscribed feeshin friends that I already have. My channel has surpassed anything I thought it could do! Have a good weekend sir!
You were slaying em. Doesn’t happen every time out. I’ve thought about 13 fishing reels but they just look so ridiculously gaudy. I might have to try those jackhammers. Good stuff brother.
Good video, I fished today and didn't catch a thing. I did see some small bass in the weeds, and some big bass to. Guess I will have to get a jack hammer chatter to try.
Hey man, I got my first bass of 2022!!! I've been ill and can't get out much, I keep losing my balance. Well I lost my balance today while catching my bass. I had been fishing with the wacky rig (watermelon red), a feisty blue gill hit. After 20 minutes I switched to a blue black craw, and caught my 1 1/2 pound bass, he came off the hook at the bank, and I lost my balance and fell in the pond ( but I got my first fish of the year and took a picture of him). I was dragging the craw on a jig, THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR VIDEOS AND SUGGESTIONS!!!!!
Awesome evening of fishing, that lure gives new meaning to that old trucker phrase "lay the hammer down". With the price of that lure, I would have went in after it too. Looking at the bellies of those fish, they were eating, so I think a regular chatterbait would have also worked.
This was a FUN video. I was actually smilingl!!!! Glad you broke your bad streak too I just started working on my casting. Wow the bait caster is SO different than my spinner. It may take longer than I thot to get something to talk about but I don’t quit!!!!
Zman chatterbaits are the bomb! I have never used the jackhammer, but I do throw the elites. Have nailed several pounds of fish on them. Thanks for another great video.
Another good video. A good day of fishing, complete with a few snags. This is exactly why I like watching your videos. I can totally relate to them and always learn something new as well! Hopefully winter doesn’t slow down the vids, keep ‘em coming.
DEBO'S Fishing Yes, this is exactly why I followed your advice and got the Berkley choppo instead of a whopper plopper. Btw, just caught my first on the choppo this morning. Only a pounder, but it still counts 👍🏻
Omg LOL, glad you got it back! Arm and a leg those things. There is another version, or I guess I should say the original version of the jackhammer on the JDM. Ive seen someone selling them in a tackle group I’m in on facebook. I think the JDM brand is cheaper with a tungsten head also. Something like that, I’d have to look more into it. Food for thought. Thanks for another great vidjya
Jack Hammer hmmm, .... don't know what weight you were throwing but I do use the 1/2oz. model original Chatterbait & I do have it in a dark bluegill color. It's a good serious approach to shallow water. I'm able to burn it back like it's fleeing and the bass hit it like a linebacker. Just stepped up to 15# monofilament for some different grass pitching too. Didn't go with braided line on this season. I'm attempting to do some slow fall jig fishing in the same area. 12# doesn't hold up to the stiff grass besides I got it for 50%off.
How do you like the left hand retrieve? You didn't seem enthusiastic in the past. I got a Dodyns Fury 663 on Labor Day. Love it. I don't know about the lure. I was using a regular chatterbait tonight. It vibrated right away but I was skunked.
Another thing that I’ve learned on a chatter bait is I like too fish 3/8oz 75% of the time when the fish are lower in the water column I like the 1/2 oz fished with a double tail grub or a rage tail when around wood
Really would like to see if you can flip between the jackhammer and a normal zman chatterbait with same trailer. I have a jackhammer but can't say it's done magic for me yet. You killed me actually getting in the water to retrieve that. Kudos to showing that stuff holds value to you and you're willing to do that. Great catches and great video!
Great video 👍!!!.I gotten lots of lures stuck also. Good job on getting that one back. Maybe it was your talent that was the trick to the many bass you caught. Keep up the good work Debo.
Dang man... I'm so jealous right now... I've been getting skunked here in Missouri lately... hopefully going to go try some more this weekend. Nice catches, and great video as always!
I feel U on those gung up lures... I was fishin off a dock with my new bucca bullshad.. Hung up of course and I thought id tie a empty water bottle to th line and come back with th boat.. Well I did and success i got it back.. But I had left it in th back of th boat still tied to th bottle when I trailered up.. Sure enough It musta blew out with th bottle when I drove back to camp.. UGGG.. hehe. Lesson learned.
Nice outtro, Debo. Respect. As for the jackhammer, I think a combination of a good trailer and good conditions did it for you. Plus, every time I have a few tough days on the water, I end up rewarded. I couldn't catch anything but 6" dinks for three weeks. Went out last Friday, hammered a couple good ones within minutes on a white frog.
Nice chunks Debo!! I'm not sure that you would have caught all those fish with the original chatterbait, but you never know you might have been able to catch more with the original! Tight Lines Debo!
I really think you would’ve got most of not all of those fish on any chatterbait. It’s so hard to tell, so many variables to control for. I think the biggest reason for buying one over the other is ease of use and quality of components. The z man project Z double hook keeper I feel is worth the price because it saves $ in trailers compared to a regular chatterbait. If ones goes through grass better, has a better hook keeper and line tie, or has better vibrations it could be worth the extra. That being said they all catch fish and the most important thing is getting out there and throwing them with confidence.
All very good points man! It's so hard to say why it would or wouldn't do better. I know it catches fish...but so does the customer at 1/3 the price. Thanks for watching man 👊
@@DEBOSFishing debo, I love your channel man, been catching up on some of your older videos. I love the jackhammer! I'd have to say it's worth the money for sure. I've thrown almost every chatterbait on the market and haven't had a ton of luck with them. But the jackhammer!? I crush em on it. Period! Keep grinding man!
Congrats on the great night! You've personally helped me up my game since I started watching you and I caught my PB using your suggestions. Keep on keeping on
I’ve been using the Picasso shock blades and they really good, they start up really fast, maybe a fraction slower than a jackhammer but they’re also a fraction of the cost, I like them both but for as many chatterbaits as I’ve lost this year I’ll take a marginally slower start up
Twenty bucks roughly? nah... and I am a Zman fanatic!!! I won't get hosed. I bought a jackhammer type from another company and it works damn good. Much stronger vibrations than a regular chatter. Great night of fishing. Funny how life is better when the fish are biting
We’re dropping down to high 50’s here in Minnesota They’ve change our gander mountain to gander outdoor Ever wonder where the fish swim off to, after you release it ? I mean does it swim back to where it came from? Swim to deeper water ? Swim to structures to hide? And how far will it swim off to? 10 yards, 20 yards?
Generally they go back to the same area from what I've seen. I didn't know about all of them but my buddy and I have caught the same fish a couple of time in the same area an hour after one of us caught it.
Reel Fishing the MN bite is heating up man. Best time of the year to be out right now. Casuals quit cuz it’s too cold, other outdoorsman are hunting, lakes are wide open for the taking!
I bought a jackhammer a while back on a gift card I got. I still haven’t done this but I want to compare it to a few other chatterbaits. I’m not sure if it’s any better or different than a Thunder cricket but I’m hoping I find an answer.
great videbo bruh, looked like alot of fun catching all them green fish. I need a day of catching em like that myself, been rough in W PA lately. I actually chuckled out loud when you went in after that jack hammer... dedication man lol
Debo, looked like a lot of fun. Regular chatter verses Jackhammer -- don't know? Don't have any Jackhammers mainly because of the price. I don't see what the big difference is because the originals start vibrating instantly also. I do know the trailers can make or break the bite. I would like to have seen you put that trailer on a standard Z-man, to see if it still worked as well. My local Gander Outdoors also closed, didn't know it was everywhere -- what a shame.
Hey Debo I was wondering how you set up the brakes on your BPS Pro Qualifier 2, because I have two and I just can’t seem to get good distance on them even though I should really focus on accuracy like you suggest
Debo Great idea about shout outs !!👍🏼 You & your pal Ran-dizel should have some kind competition... He’s one hilarious dude, Both of you together would make one great one to punch.
DEBO'S Fishing , I know it’s been done to death but a roulette type competition with different Luers is always good... or even some timed competition. I’m sure whatever you 2 decide to do ,us viewers will benefit from! Keep up the great videos, look forward to seeing them on the tube!!!! As 1 of your fiiiishing friend s can’t wait🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣
I've ran the original chatterbait, the crosseyez and the others. However they really haven't landed many. The Jack Hammer however has caught me the most fish at various points of the year over any other chatterbait. I never go fishing without at least 3 of them in various different colors in my bag...definitely worth the price. However that's my two cents...other people's mileage may vary.
Thanks to you I learned to use my first bait caster today totally nailed it! 6 bass back to back 2 of them 5 lb one 4 lb 3 and 2 lb ! Thanks man I used a jig with similar color lure as.you on this video! Keep in mind I didn't see this.video until now.. I tried chatter bait but I didn't get anything 😕 there is a monster bass in the pond I fish I am aiming to get him I have seen it twice he is easily.15-17 lb recommend some lures please! Lots of.grassy areas leaves floating plants green water ! Some shaded areas mostly direct sunlight!
Debo awesome video. So glad you had a good night with the jackhammer. I think you would’ve gotten some bites with a regular chatterbait but definitely not as many. I still can’t put my finger on it, it’s just got to be the magic of the jackhammer lol! That being said it is rough to use a $16+ bait as a shore fisherman.
Yeah, would make more sense from a boat or tournament situation where you need any little advantage to win. Fishing from the banks I'm sure it won't last long ☹
Thanks for the info on the Jack Hammer, Debo! Been looking at them, but like you I've been very skeptical because of the price. May have to try them out. I really like the look of that Zako as a trailer as well. As always, really well done video brother! Tightlines always!
Yeah, each day is different. I could go back and not get a bite. Don't give up man, it's a game of numbers! The more you get out, the better chance you have!
Can you do a side by side comparison of the jackhammer and the Z man chatter. I’m just curious of what makes the jackhammer start its action immediately versus Z man. I get frustrated with the Z because it seems like when I cast it the line is tangled and nothing happens and then all of a sudden it starts to work. Takes to long. Nice fish Debo. Jackhammer definitely works better I feel.
Elite., I've noticed that with the regular chatter too. The head and line tie are different on the jackhammer. I may do a short video outlining the two.
I didn't until a month or 2 ago. Found a lake that had a lot of hydrilla and or grass . and I've been a believer ever since that day . THEY DO WORK just in specific types of cover
Great job on the video keep it up. You need to do the video the original versus the jackhammer I'm with you so far I haven't dropped the dime for the jackhammer yet.
Yes you did it looked like a fun evening. But like you said was it the hammer? or would the original worked at the same time as the hammer just as well? Anyway keep up the good work I watch all your videos I've learned quite a bit from you, thank you so much for hard work you put into it.
I throw the project z a lot in 3/4 ounce and I’m not so sure it’s better than the og chatter bait or not. I know that if you look at the packaging on a strike king thunder cricket and really look at it you’ll notice it and the jackhammer are pretty much the same.
Yes, it's hard to tell how big of a difference they would make. The thunder cricket blade is a bit different but it's part of the Z-Man patent. Look on the back of the Thunder cricket package.
Hey Debo. Another great video. As a fellow bank angler, I really appreciate your channel. There are a million channels with guys on boats, but only a handful showing you how to fish from the bank. It looked like you were working almost a straight retrieve the whole night. Probably because you were afraid to get hung up? If it was a less expensive chatter bait, would you slow it down and work if the bottom more? Tell us more about your casting and retrieving tactics, during the video. Thanks again!!! PS - Benadryl spray is a life saver when the ivy erupts!!
Thanks man! I enjoy both bank and boat fishing. No, I don't really bounce it off bottom. I do try to bounce it off of rocks or wood and tick the tops of any grass or vegetation. I adjust my retrieve speed as needed. Hope this helps man 👊
Yeah man, I know you had been telling me that. Though of you when I saw the sale! It definitely catches fish. I'd like to try it against a custom or Elite to see the exact difference side my side in the water.
@@DEBOSFishing Cool deal keep us updated! I have compared it to the zman custom, definitely a different thump but I just have more confidence in the jackhammer right now. I have caught more fish on the jackhammer this year, and definitely bigger fish. Glad you caught a bunch of them though! It gets better in the cooler water, they will take the rod out of your hands when they hit! 😜
I love my 13 Fishing Concept A, Dobyns fury 7'3" MH 734 with a 3/8oz Chatterbait/Zako trailer. Haven't lost a jackhammer yet but I am very careful with them, I tend to prefer the Jackhammer/Original/Project Z in that order. The Project Z just doesn't thump, maybe its the swivel maybe its the blade or head shape, I don't know. $16-$18 a bladed jig is insane though, maybe I should check out the Z-Man Chatterbait Custom.
I don't know which was more impressive. All the feesh you caught or the fact that you got your jackhammer back. Let's be honest, for the price of those things, I wouldn't have left without it either lol. Keep feeshin!
I thought you said $80, too, almost didn't bother to watch you fish with something I'd never get. Even at $18, though, I'd have had to go in after it, too. From a bankbound fisherman who loves your videos, keep up the good feeshing and the great, helpful material. 👏
I did say $80 but I was being sarcastic. They are $18 but to me that is expensive for a lure I could easily lose in ab hour of fishing 🤣 I will keep trying to make the vids. Thanks for watching sir!
Debo, I'm a lefty. All of my bait casters are left handed. The downside to that is manufacturing don't offer as many choices in left handed reels. I admire you being able to use either as good as you do. Keep the great videos coming.
The Jackhammer has been the one that works in heavily pressured waters for me. Totally sold on them with the Zako. Really enjoy your afternoon outings Debo, thanks.
"Momma didn't raise not quitter"
"Thats half a pay check"
🤣🎣
Hahah thanks for watching man 👊
Dang that was a lot of feesh dude! I'm most impressed with the fact that you went so long without getting hung. All my higher priced stuff usually happens in like 30 minutes.🤣👊🎣
Yeah, me too! Chatterbaits are one of my topw lures to snag and lose....I don't think it will last long 🤣
I feel that bro! I lost a 25$ bait the other day first cast :c
I bought my first baitcaster setup last night. The Lews LFS Speedspool/Speedstick combo. And I picked up a Zman Chatter Bait to go along with it. The Zman is the only bait I could get the fish to consistently hit on in the late afternoon heat (90*). Definitely made my first bass oriented trip a good one.
Your channel is quickly become one of my faves even when you're catching the dinks. Great night of fishing!
Hahah well I've got a lot of vids like that in store 🤣 Thanks for watching man!
Like he almost always says, it’s not a Debo’s fishing video without a dink!
In my opinion, the strength of the jackhammer is how quick and consistent that blade kicks. For stop and stutter or ripping through grass, it is phenomenal. If you're just chucking and winding, save your money.
That's a very good point! I need to try that with some of the others and see how much more consistent it is.
Quickly becoming one of my favorites to watch not only for the info and to gain some knowledge, it just doesn’t hurt that you like to cut up & not take yourself too seriously. It’s refreshing appreciated. Tight lines, my friend.
Love the trailer choice! Sometimes the lures are worth the extra $$$ for sure!
That zako is awesome! I scooped up a bunch at 50% off!
You have made me a believer for the jackhammer going to add some to my arsenal! Thanks Debo!!!
Look for some on sale and try it. I'm torn on how big of a difference it would really make.
I know I slayed them yesterday on the jack hammer, caught 18 of them (and only a couple dinks) & lost a couple decent ones too.

Yuck, I hate dealing with those. Get better soon!

DEBO'S Fishing thanks Debo! And to the question, I really think you can modify the regular or customs to work just as well as the Jackhammer
got a couple of those Z-Mans...they work really good...even in weeds
Yes! The chatter is great around grass!
In my experience, that fluke trailer makes all the difference in the world. Either white or dark silver shad catches fish mostly year around. Using the original not the jackhammer, but it's still one of my top 3 producing lures. I could probably finance a F-150 lightning for the cost of chatterbaits I've lost

We can try to make that happen. Unfortunately, fishing open water is winding down quick!
We Floridians don't know what this fall transition is. Its only summer down here for 3/4 of the year lol
Hahaha I bet! It would be nice not to deal with snow...I hate it!
On the flipside, us midwesterners don't have to deal with hurricanes...until they become normal rainstorms!
Debo love the videos. I am an avid chatterbait fisherman and have always wondered if the jackhammers are worth the money. After watching this video may have to give them a try.

Yeah, fishing was good but now we are having a cold front. We'll see how the rest of the year goes ☹
Really good video Debo really enjoyed it I don't know about the reel with bushings , thanks for your time and effort really appreciate your video's 👊👊👍
Thanks, Janos. I appreciate you taking time to watch. The reel is bright but it casts well. Let's see how well it holds up!
I have never used a chatterbait before. Now, i need to get one for sure. Great video dude.
Yes! Start out with the original, it's a lot cheaper! Thanks for watching 👊
It’s the vibration and that unique hunt action that makes this baby stand out from the rest of the chatter baits
I wish there was a better way to test it compared to a standard chatter!
You deserve many more subs than you got, you seen like a very honest down to earth person I just got home from church and the sermon was about fishing and having fish to eat in heaven totally amazing sermon I enjoy your videos more than any fishing channel on TH-cam or Instagram , wishing you the best always and tight lines that are not caused by reeds lol.

Yeah, I appreciate those numbers days. The concept a looks good and feels great. The SZ is a bit bright 🤣 Thanks for watching brother 👊
Good stuff!! Jack Hammers are awesome. Love the Zako Trailers too. Fish on Bro. 🎣
Good video, I fished today and didn't catch a thing. I did see some small bass in the weeds, and some big bass to. Guess I will have to get a jack hammer chatter to try.
Some days are like that. I got my butt kicked today...completely opposite of this vid 🤣 Just gotta keep grinding!
Debo!! I was having fun watching you catching all that fish. 🎣 love fishing !!
It was a great evening of fishing! Thanks for watching 👊
I commend your efforts in retrieving that chatter bait great fishing footage thanks
I felt sick to my stomach when my line snapped. I wasn't leaving that baby there!

Thanks man! It was a fun evening of catching. 👊
How do you like the left hand retrieve? You didn't seem enthusiastic in the past.
I got a Dodyns Fury 663 on Labor Day. Love it.

I put on the wadders today to retrieve a chatter bait. I think I'll have to try them Yamamotos for trailers, they looked way good!
Thanks Debo!
Yeah, I need to break down and get some waders. I really like that zako trailer!
Really would like to see if you can flip between the jackhammer and a normal zman chatterbait with same trailer. I have a jackhammer but can't say it's done magic for me yet. You killed me actually getting in the water to retrieve that. Kudos to showing that stuff holds value to you and you're willing to do that. Great catches and great video!
Yeah, I was thinking of trying that. Switching lures every couple casts to try it! Yeah, I didn't want to leave that hanging there!
Great video 👍!!!.I gotten lots of lures stuck also. Good job on getting that one back. Maybe it was your talent that was the trick to the many bass you caught. Keep up the good work Debo.
Haha yeah, I was happy to get it back after that. Thanks for watching man 👊
Dang man... I'm so jealous right now... I've been getting skunked here in Missouri lately... hopefully going to go try some more this weekend. Nice catches, and great video as always!
Thanks man. Yeah, I was really needing a trip like that! Good luck this weekend!
Great vid, thanks. Question, do you attach the leader on top or bottom of the blade. Hook side being up.
Thanks
Great content! Sounds like you are near me. If you're ever in the KC metro, let's HOOK up, and chase that BASS!
I'm up in Iowa. 🤣 If I'm ever done there, I'd be honored to wet a line with you!
@@DEBOSFishing Working on a project up in Altoona, IA, so if I ever get up that way, ill send up a flare!
1/4 oz. Is my jam black and blue. Keep a sharpie in your bag. They loose paint kinda quick.
Yessir, that black and blue is money. That sharpie trick on the blade is nice too!
I feel U on those gung up lures... I was fishin off a dock with my new bucca bullshad.. Hung up of course and I thought id tie a empty water bottle to th line and come back with th boat.. Well I did and success i got it back.. But I had left it in th back of th boat still tied to th bottle when I trailered up.. Sure enough It musta blew out with th bottle when I drove back to camp.. UGGG.. hehe. Lesson learned.
Those jack hammers are 100% affective. Caught a bunch of bass including my PB on those. Great video bud! 🤛🏼
Love the content! And small bass or not the action you were getting looked likeawesome fun! Keep up the great content!!
Thanks man, it was a very fun afternoon of fishing! Thanks for watching 👊
Score tracker update. Mama didn't raise no quitters. HAHAHA Buncha' feesh sir! Good job.
It was a fun trip man. Glad I got it back!
Nice outtro, Debo. Respect. As for the jackhammer, I think a combination of a good trailer and good conditions did it for you. Plus, every time I have a few tough days on the water, I end up rewarded. I couldn't catch anything but 6" dinks for three weeks. Went out last Friday, hammered a couple good ones within minutes on a white frog.
Yeah, it's so hard to tell with so many variables. Nice man, nothing better than hooking them on a frog 👊
Nice chunks Debo!! I'm not sure that you would have caught all those fish with the original chatterbait, but you never know you might have been able to catch more with the original! Tight Lines Debo!
Yeah man, it's tough to tell. A lot of people believe there is a big difference 💁♂️
I really think you would’ve got most of not all of those fish on any chatterbait. It’s so hard to tell, so many variables to control for. I think the biggest reason for buying one over the other is ease of use and quality of components. The z man project Z double hook keeper I feel is worth the price because it saves $ in trailers compared to a regular chatterbait. If ones goes through grass better, has a better hook keeper and line tie, or has better vibrations it could be worth the extra. That being said they all catch fish and the most important thing is getting out there and throwing them with confidence.
All very good points man! It's so hard to say why it would or wouldn't do better. I know it catches fish...but so does the customer at 1/3 the price. Thanks for watching man 👊
@@DEBOSFishing debo, I love your channel man, been catching up on some of your older videos. I love the jackhammer! I'd have to say it's worth the money for sure. I've thrown almost every chatterbait on the market and haven't had a ton of luck with them. But the jackhammer!? I crush em on it. Period! Keep grinding man!
Another great video. Definitely need to get my hands on that jackhammer. I haven't been able to fish alot but always a joy to watch.
Thanks man, appreciate you taking time to watch my vids!👊
Thank you for all the beginner tips 🙏 much love for your channel.
Great video. Really enjoyed watching how easy it is to fish a chatter bait.
Cast and wind, I dont do anything special. I think location and speed are the big factors!
Love the commitment retrieving the chatterbait keep up the great video coming
I could see it...I didn't feel right not going in 🤣
I would had done the same thing even for a cheap bait 😂
Congrats on the great night! You've personally helped me up my game since I started watching you and I caught my PB using your suggestions. Keep on keeping on
Heck yes man! That means a lot to hear that. Thanks for watching and supporting my channel 👊
I have 2 of these and I love them my go to bait everywhere got it produces fish for me!
It definitely produces but I couldn't afford a tackle box full of them!
DEBO'S Fishing price match them at dicks! I save $5 on every one lol
I’ve been using the Picasso shock blades and they really good, they start up really fast, maybe a fraction slower than a jackhammer but they’re also a fraction of the cost, I like them both but for as many chatterbaits as I’ve lost this year I’ll take a marginally slower start up
Nice! I haven't used any of those chatterbaits yet. I agree, that price is rough on the wallet!
Twenty bucks roughly? nah... and I am a Zman fanatic!!! I won't get hosed. I bought a jackhammer type from another company and it works damn good. Much stronger vibrations than a regular chatter. Great night of fishing. Funny how life is better when the fish are biting
Yeah, I won't pick up anymore. Got them for 50% off. I like the Z-Man custom chatters. 1/3 thr price and I've caught a lot of fish on them!
We’re dropping down to high 50’s here in Minnesota
They’ve change our gander mountain to gander outdoor
Ever wonder where the fish swim off to, after you release it ? I mean does it swim back to where it came from? Swim to deeper water ? Swim to structures to hide?
And how far will it swim off to? 10 yards, 20 yards?
Generally they go back to the same area from what I've seen. I didn't know about all of them but my buddy and I have caught the same fish a couple of time in the same area an hour after one of us caught it.
Funny, I had this very same question. lol
Reel Fishing the MN bite is heating up man. Best time of the year to be out right now. Casuals quit cuz it’s too cold, other outdoorsman are hunting, lakes are wide open for the taking!
I'm thinking after the release, the fish be like wait, what the hell, where's my stuff, dang gotta start all over again.
Keep up the great work Debo. Always enjoy the videos man! 🎣👍
Thanks man, I'll try to keep the vids coming👊
I bought a jackhammer a while back on a gift card I got. I still haven’t done this but I want to compare it to a few other chatterbaits. I’m not sure if it’s any better or different than a Thunder cricket but I’m hoping I find an answer.
SOMETHING was sure working!!! I can’t wait to see more testing between the two!!! Wow!!!!
great videbo bruh, looked like alot of fun catching all them green fish. I need a day of catching em like that myself, been rough in W PA lately. I actually chuckled out loud when you went in after that jack hammer... dedication man lol
Yeah, I definitely needed a day like that. Hope it picks up for you soon man!
Debo, looked like a lot of fun. Regular chatter verses Jackhammer -- don't know? Don't have any Jackhammers mainly because of the price. I don't see what the big difference is because the originals start vibrating instantly also. I do know the trailers can make or break the bite. I would like to have seen you put that trailer on a standard Z-man, to see if it still worked as well. My local Gander Outdoors also closed, didn't know it was everywhere -- what a shame.
Yeah, I was thinking about doing that with a regular chatterbait. May have to go back there and try it!
Hey Debo I was wondering how you set up the brakes on your BPS Pro Qualifier 2, because I have two and I just can’t seem to get good distance on them even though I should really focus on accuracy like you suggest
I have four internal on, tension set to remove side to side play, adjust external brakes as needed.
DEBO'S Fishing Ok I will try that thanks for the tip
Debo
Great idea about shout outs !!👍🏼
You & your pal Ran-dizel should have some kind competition... He’s one hilarious dude, Both of you together would make one great one to punch.
He's a damn good guy. We could do that, what kind of competition are you thinking?
DEBO'S Fishing , I know it’s been done to death but a roulette type competition with different Luers is always good... or even some timed competition. I’m sure whatever you 2 decide to do ,us viewers will benefit from! Keep up the great videos, look forward to seeing them on the tube!!!! As 1 of your fiiiishing friend s can’t wait🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣
I've ran the original chatterbait, the crosseyez and the others. However they really haven't landed many. The Jack Hammer however has caught me the most fish at various points of the year over any other chatterbait. I never go fishing without at least 3 of them in various different colors in my bag...definitely worth the price. However that's my two cents...other people's mileage may vary.
Thanks to you I learned to use my first bait caster today totally nailed it! 6 bass back to back 2 of them 5 lb one 4 lb 3 and 2 lb ! Thanks man I used a jig with similar color lure as.you on this video! Keep in mind I didn't see this.video until now.. I tried chatter bait but I didn't get anything 😕 there is a monster bass in the pond I fish I am aiming to get him I have seen it twice he is easily.15-17 lb recommend some lures please! Lots of.grassy areas leaves floating plants green water ! Some shaded areas mostly direct sunlight!
I'm a new subscriber and I must say I enjoy each of your videos I've viewed so far. Great job!
Thank you, Ken! Appreciate you becoming a #verifiedfeeshinfriend 👊
Just found Z-man products here in Croatia in some shop. I have to give that hammer a try 👌🏽 thanks man for the great useful videos 🙂👊🏽
Awesome man! Hope you catch some biggins on them! Thanks for watching 👊
Tearin’ em up Debo!!! Great day on the pond!!!
I'm trying to give em heck man! Thanks for watching 👊
Debo awesome video. So glad you had a good night with the jackhammer. I think you would’ve gotten some bites with a regular chatterbait but definitely not as many. I still can’t put my finger on it, it’s just got to be the magic of the jackhammer lol! That being said it is rough to use a $16+ bait as a shore fisherman.
Yeah, would make more sense from a boat or tournament situation where you need any little advantage to win. Fishing from the banks I'm sure it won't last long ☹
Thanks for the info on the Jack Hammer, Debo! Been looking at them, but like you I've been very skeptical because of the price. May have to try them out. I really like the look of that Zako as a trailer as well. As always, really well done video brother! Tightlines always!
Yeah, that price is tough to swallow for a lure that I lose a lot. The zako looks great as a trailer!
Wow you make it look easy. I've gone out at lake where I live but no luck with the jack hammer I've almost gave up fishing.lol.
Yeah, each day is different. I could go back and not get a bite. Don't give up man, it's a game of numbers! The more you get out, the better chance you have!
Can you do a side by side comparison of the jackhammer and the Z man chatter. I’m just curious of what makes the jackhammer start its action immediately versus Z man. I get frustrated with the Z because it seems like when I cast it the line is tangled and nothing happens and then all of a sudden it starts to work. Takes to long. Nice fish Debo. Jackhammer definitely works better I feel.
Elite., I've noticed that with the regular chatter too. The head and line tie are different on the jackhammer. I may do a short video outlining the two.
Thanks “D” would like to see it.
Never caught one on any chatterbait but I’m willing to try the JH. Thanks for sharing your experience with it 🤙🏾
I didn't until a month or 2 ago.
Found a lake that had a lot of hydrilla and or grass . and I've been a believer ever since that day . THEY DO WORK just in specific types of cover
Yeah, pick up an elite if you want to spend a little less. The chatterbait is definitely a good lure around grass!
Is that 13 Fishing reel worth the money? Love the way it looks and seems like it’s nice and smooth for casting
So far they feel great. Need to put more time in with them though!
Keep up the great work Debo, I unfortunately got poison oak on my hands last week pulling out a favorite jig.
Thanks man, I'll certainly try. I didn't in fact get poison I've from this trip...☹
Dude that was impressive. Feeding frenzy! That jackhammer looked sweet too. I haven't pulled the trigger on any lures over $12 yet though. :-)
Yeah, it was an awesome night of catching. I'm there with you man, hard to justify paying that much!
almost bought that exact setup, concept sz with Dobyns fury rod looks super good together!
I love it so far. Have to put more time in with the reel to see how it holds up. Thanks for watching 👊
I literally did the same thing for my jackhammer today 😂 it got stuck on a giant umbrella underwater and I went in for it... I got it back 😊
It looks like you hit the jackpot with the jackhammer!
It definitely seemed to do the trick! Thanks for watching 👊
Great job on the video keep it up. You need to do the video the original versus the jackhammer I'm with you so far I haven't dropped the dime for the jackhammer yet.
Yeah, I only did because of the 50% off. It was definitely finding fish!
Yes you did it looked like a fun evening. But like you said was it the hammer? or would the original worked at the same time as the hammer just as well? Anyway keep up the good work I watch all your videos I've learned quite a bit from you, thank you so much for hard work you put into it.
Awesome video as long as Iam catching fish Iam happy small ones or big ones. Keep up the awesome content
Agreed! An afternoon of fishing like that is always welcome! Thanks for watching 👊
I throw the project z a lot in 3/4 ounce and I’m not so sure it’s better than the og chatter bait or not. I know that if you look at the packaging on a strike king thunder cricket and really look at it you’ll notice it and the jackhammer are pretty much the same.
Yes, it's hard to tell how big of a difference they would make. The thunder cricket blade is a bit different but it's part of the Z-Man patent. Look on the back of the Thunder cricket package.
Dee u slayed em! Love the jackhammers with a swimming Senko or small easy shiner
Thanks man, it was a fun afternoon of catching! Yeah, those trailers work well too!
Great video debo !! 😎🔥Nice to see the chatterbait doing work. I have no luck with the normal chatterbait so far . Lol
Awesome video Brother Fish on Fish on 💥💪🏻👊🏻
Thanks man, it was a fun night of catching!
Hey Debo. Another great video. As a fellow bank angler, I really appreciate your channel. There are a million channels with guys on boats, but only a handful showing you how to fish from the bank.
It looked like you were working almost a straight retrieve the whole night. Probably because you were afraid to get hung up? If it was a less expensive chatter bait, would you slow it down and work if the bottom more?
Tell us more about your casting and retrieving tactics, during the video.
Thanks again!!!
PS - Benadryl spray is a life saver when the ivy erupts!!
Thanks man! I enjoy both bank and boat fishing. No, I don't really bounce it off bottom. I do try to bounce it off of rocks or wood and tick the tops of any grass or vegetation. I adjust my retrieve speed as needed. Hope this helps man 👊
Great video Debo! Been telling you for a while that the jackhammer rules! Glad you got to see it for yourself! Keep up the great work buddy!
Yeah man, I know you had been telling me that. Though of you when I saw the sale! It definitely catches fish. I'd like to try it against a custom or Elite to see the exact difference side my side in the water.
@@DEBOSFishing Cool deal keep us updated! I have compared it to the zman custom, definitely a different thump but I just have more confidence in the jackhammer right now. I have caught more fish on the jackhammer this year, and definitely bigger fish. Glad you caught a bunch of them though! It gets better in the cooler water, they will take the rod out of your hands when they hit! 😜
Now this is what ive been waiting for
Awesome man, hope you enjoy!
I love my 13 Fishing Concept A, Dobyns fury 7'3" MH 734 with a 3/8oz Chatterbait/Zako trailer. Haven't lost a jackhammer yet but I am very careful with them, I tend to prefer the Jackhammer/Original/Project Z in that order. The Project Z just doesn't thump, maybe its the swivel maybe its the blade or head shape, I don't know. $16-$18 a bladed jig is insane though, maybe I should check out the Z-Man Chatterbait Custom.
I don't know which was more impressive. All the feesh you caught or the fact that you got your jackhammer back. Let's be honest, for the price of those things, I wouldn't have left without it either lol. Keep feeshin!
Yeah, I wasn't going to leave it where I could see it! Thanks for watching man 👊
That intro was even funnier after seeing how the video ended...dedication for sure
Hahah I just couldn't leave it hanging there!
I thought you said $80, too, almost didn't bother to watch you fish with something I'd never get. Even at $18, though, I'd have had to go in after it, too. From a bankbound fisherman who loves your videos, keep up the good feeshing and the great, helpful material. 👏
I did say $80 but I was being sarcastic. They are $18 but to me that is expensive for a lure I could easily lose in ab hour of fishing 🤣 I will keep trying to make the vids. Thanks for watching sir!
Great video. I noticed you switch between right/left handed hand bait casters. Reason?
I do! Nope, just trying the lefty reels out. Thanks for watching man!
Debo, I'm a lefty. All of my bait casters are left handed. The downside to that is manufacturing don't offer as many choices in left handed reels. I admire you being able to use either as good as you do. Keep the great videos coming.
I just picked up a dobyns fury 734c and was thinking of pairing it with the inception sz glad to see they look good together
