Master the art of Midwest finesse with the Z-Man TRD MinnowZ, a slender 3.5-inch baitfish imitation designed to mimic a wide variety of small forage species. Built with Z-Man's legendary 10X Tough ElaZtech superplastic, this bait offers unmatched durability and extreme buoyancy that keeps it performing long after traditional soft plastics have failed.
The TRD MinnowZ features a unique, small flat tail that provides two distinct actions: it accentuates a darting, quivering movement when rigged vertically or a graceful gliding action when oriented horizontally. This versatility makes it a "must-have" for tournament anglers facing tough conditions or clear-water predators that require a more subtle, natural presentation.
Key Features:

Anatomical Baitfish Profile: Accurately mimics minnows, fry, and small baitfish preferred by both freshwater and saltwater predators.

10X Tough ElaZtech: Delivers extraordinary durability, allowing you to catch dozens of fish on a single lure without tearing.

Proven Performance: A top choice for Midwest Finesse enthusiasts (including Ned Kehde) for targeting largemouth, smallmouth, and inshore saltwater species.

Take your finesse game into "four-wheel drive" with the Z-Man Football Nedz a specialized jig head designed to bring the legendary Ned Rig tactic to deep-water structure. Engineered with a precision-molded oblong football head, this jig excels at dragging, crawling, and walking seamlessly over jagged rocks, brush, and uneven underwater terrain. Its unique shape is designed to deflect off obstructions, causing the bait to pivot and activate in a way that triggers instinctive reaction strikes from wary predators.
Built to handle trophy-sized smallmouth, largemouth, and spotted bass, the Football Nedz is armed with a custom medium-wire 1/0 black nickel hook. This hook provides the perfect balance of needle-sharp penetration and the "horsepower" required to pull big fish away from heavy cover.
