METAL LIP :
The durable metal lip pivots on an enclosed nose pin . This allows the bill to oscillate freely side-to-side , giving the bait a unique wobble and sound while generating gobs of flash and vibration as it bumps and bangs through the water column .
ANATOMY :
Featuring raised gill plates , 3D holographic eyes and high-definition finishes , the bait is anatomically correct in every way .
PLATED JOWLS :
The inner wall of the jowls is plated in metal , creating a metallic clicking sound each time the bill collides with either side . It ’ s a distinctive sound similar to that of a vibrating jig .
As castability goes , the 5 / 8-ounce bait does just fine so long as winds are mild . Just be careful when launching into strong headwinds ; the Jabber Jaw will tumble on you .
Final Thoughts
If you ’ re on the hunt for a mid-diving crank to give the fish a different look and sound than anything else out there , the Jabber Jaw Deep is certainly worth checking out . The attraction isn ’ t just about the wide wobble and maddening chatter created by the free-swinging metal bill , either . This baby traverses grass , stumps , brush , dock pilings and other hard cover like a 4x4 . You can see and hear the Jabber Jaw Deep in action here : 13fishing . com / jabber-jaw-deep-9 .
Performance Advice
› The Jabber Jaw will reach maximum diving depths on smaller-diameter fluorocarbon lines like 12-pound test , but you may want to go up in line size when fishing around abrasive heavy cover , or if you are fishing a lake known for giving up lots of big ones .
› Switching to a larger-diameter monofilament or braid will cause the bait to run a little shallower if that ’ s what you need .
› The bait is super buoyant , so it ’ ll float itself out of trouble pretty easily .
Applications
› Ideal for stained or muddy water
› Largemouth or smallmouth
› High pressure situations
>> SHALLOW DIVER
› Mid-range depths
› Stump rows and brush
› Rocks
› Clipping grass tops
The Jabber Jaw Deep is built from the same blueprint ( minus the larger , thicker bill ) as the original Jabber Jaw , a 9 / 16-ounce squarebill designed for use in water 3-5 feet deep . The shallow diver is available in more colors ( 18 ) for a dollar less ($ 11.99 ).
