Z-Man Gobius Swimbaits

The Z-Man Gobius is a highly realistic, pre-rigged swimbait designed specifically to mimic the invasive round goby, a primary forage for smallmouth and largemouth bass in the Great Lakes and beyond. It is engineered as a hybrid between a swimbait and a structure jig, allowing it to "creep" and "glide" across rocky bottoms where traditional baits might get snagged.

Key Performance Features

• 10X Tough ElaZtech: Poured from Z-Man’s proprietary superplastic, the Gobius is incredibly soft yet durable enough to withstand dozens of aggressive strikes.

• Internal Jig Harness: Features a "bottom-hugging" weight system that keeps the bait upright and enables a natural tail-up posture at rest, perfectly imitating a feeding goby.

• Snag-Resistant Design: Includes a specialized split dorsal fin brush guard that protects the hook point from structure while compressing easily to ensure a high hookset ratio.

• Subtle Swimming Action: A small, rounded paddle tail delivers a fluid, low-frequency vibration that mimics the quick-kick-and-glide movement of a live goby.
