    #2 Vibrating Jig

    If the Jackhammer is your #1 what is your number two vibrating Jig?

    I don't need a #2 after fishing with the Jackhammer a few times. I've actually taken the originals (I guess you can call my #2) out of the boat, replaced with Jackhammers.

    seems like it’s not only the number one contender but the number two as well.
    I was looking for alternatives that produced just as effective but I haven’t found any yet

    I really like the Project Z. Picked up a Thunder Cricket for the hell of it too. But the water is hard here, so it’ll be a while before I get to test that

    Before dipping into the Jackhammer, I was solely using a Picasso Shock Blade with a pretty good amount of luck...dabbled with the FX (bucktail version) in colder water with some success as well! Trailed with a Lake Fork Magic Shad (pre Yamamato Zako) was a solid combination.

    If I'm not throwing the Jackhammer, I throw a TW Custom Chatterbait or an Original.

    I like the “project Z” as a #2. Jackhammer is my primary but I fished the other Z man baits before I settled into the project Z and jackhammer. For me I still use both but I believe the jackhammer is Superior to the others in the Z man lineup.
    And I don’t feel they’re that expensive, buy them on sale and you can catch a lot of limits on them.

    In some situations I prefer the TW custom Chatterbait over the Jackhammmer. The Thunder Cricket has a time and place as well.
