MasterpieceLove this bait caught a lot of fish on it and was able to keep the same trailer on it for a year better than jackhammer
Recommend itI caught my pb on it the trailers tear up easily but that’s not to big of a problem I’ve caught multiple fish on it in two day at least 15 no problems and caught a 6pound 12 ounce bass.
Snap issueExcellent bait but do yourself a favor....
Change the Snap to a Mustad Fastach clip size #2
Much stronger, will never open and does not change the action of the bait.
Nice CB versionI like this one a lot. It seems to stay down in the column better than a regular CB. Great colors, good keeper and hook.
I’m a believerI fished the jackhammer for years with amazing success. It’s the gold standard of bladed jigs, right? Yesterday was my first day fishing with Tungsten EVO. Put an absolute hurtin on them! 3/8th tungsten Evo seems to stay deeper and track better than a 1/2 jackhammer. Lost my only one and picked up a jackhammer and immediately started catching less fish. This bait is LEGIT. I will definitely be ordering more!
GOOD BAIT BUT.......This bait definitely gets bit so that's the plus but the components are really poorly made. Snap comes off after a few fish, and the bait keeper fell off. For some odd reason this chatterbait tears up the trailers really quick. With the Jackhammer I can catch 10-15 fish before I have to put on a new trailer, the EVO I can only catch 3-4 fish and the trailer will be all torn up. I find that both will get the same amount of bites so I will be going back to the Jackhammers.
GREAT BUT...Love it but the snap does been around 30-40 maybe or if you just pull on a 3lb 14oz with not a care in the world the snap will bend but with the bent snap they will still woble and ive tried to replace but could cut the snap with my braid scissors will continue to buy but of course your baits arent going to last forver
Great baitThis bait hunts every bit as well as the jackhammer, however the smaller tungsten head helps it stay down a little better when ripping it through the water. This bait also has a slightly different sound than the jackhammer, when the blades make contact with the tungsten head. I like the elite evo as well as the jackhammer, but sometimes heavily pressured fish will hit the elite a little better. I do have one area of caution that may save you the heart ache of a lost bait. Make sure the wire clips on the blades are secure. I have had a couple that were not completely locked out of the package. With that said again it's a great bait.
Good value for the priceI've been using only Jackhammers the last few years, so I thought I'd try out the Evo. Overall, I liked the bait and thought it worked about as well as the Jackhammer. My only fault is that the snap seems lightweight to me - I've had a couple of them bend out and open up on me.
Awesome sauceI went out and caught 11 fish with a rage swimmer both black and blue i would say its as good as the jackhammer and I love how easy it comes threw grass. Its amazing.
Great bait but…Amazing bait. Smaller head allows bait to get down deeper and tick off of cover a lot easier. Just need some more colors specifically for us FLORIDA guys GOLDEN SHINER.
This thing gets bitIts crazy how much better you can feel this chatterbait compared to all other chatter baits. Fished a normal chatterbait and caught them until the stopped bitting. Switched to this thing and it was game on again and back to catching them.
ColorsOverall solid product. I know that this is the counter to the Jackhammer to make a more Z Man exclusive high end chatterbait, but please give us some of the jackhammer colors. If not, at least give use some other Z Man colors that are more bluegill oriented like California Craw. That's a Z Man "color" and yet it goes to the Jackhammer and not this?? *Scratch Head*
