    Glad to see you putting out more content. You taught me everything I know and you are by far my favorite pro fisherman.

    It has been quite some time since I have watched one of your videos, but this one hit a home run. Nice job comparing the two chatter baits and giving a good example of their comparisons. Thank you, Gene.

    Just fished one the other day and honestly can't tell the difference. I even threw them in my pool to get a good visual and didn't notice a difference. I will definitely be buying more and saving some money.

    Just picked two up yesterday gotta wait for this ole man winter to go away here in the northeast but that’s what I’m hoping for that it can at least take over for the jackhammer mostly still going to throw my jackhammers they are actually what got me fishing chatterbaits constantly the original one idk I just had no confidence in it never got bit so I went with the hype and right away started catching and it’s been a down hill for my pockets lol I’m glad to see they kept my favorite color but just changed the name to hot snakes the one you were holding in jackhammer it’s b-hite delight but I’ll have to see how the gold blade does I don’t have much success with gold in my area

      @@AnglerAnthonythat’s pretty obvious, but the question was a comparison of the jackhammer or EVO. In my opinion the jackhammer comes with premium materials where I’ve never had an issue such as with two EVOs.

    what I found funny to me two summers ago is I bought jackhammer, thunder cricket & click bait & at first I didn't get bit on any of them. but I kept fishing the jackhammer and got bit and that all I throw but seeing that zman made a cheaper version I had to grab me a few. I still have one thunder cricket left. and I junked the clickbait all together 😂.. thank for all your vids i've learned alot from keep it with all the great content..

    It could be because of the chatterspike trailer, but the acrion when i rip them are better than anything I've seen. Insanely erratic. It gets a 10/10 from me.

    I eventually bend all my jackhammer hook skipping docks. Is the EVO hook less likely to bend in your opinion or about the same?

    • @Flukemaster

      Probably the same. Thats a lot of force to put on a hook.

    Never thrown a jackhammer, probably won’t toss an evo either. (Pray for good sales on both) The amount of chatterbaits swiped by chain pickerel every season is infuriating. Can’t fathom giving them $15 or $10 face jewelry. 😂
