This is the perfect baitfish profile, with its lively paddle-tail in a versatile size that has proven deadly on everything, from flathead to mangrove jack and bass to barra. A split-fin design on the back of the MinnowZ makes it perfect for rigging weedless. MinnowZ is super-soft and flexible for maximum action and realistic feel, while also being up to 10-times tougher than a standard plastic. With a built-in buoyancy, ZMan MinnowZ plastics come to life in the water, standing up off the bottom to look like a fish that is feeding. Try slow frog-hopping them over the bottom. Making sure that you pause for a short while between lifts! The paddle-tail movement, when retrieved slowly across the surface, makes it a deadly lure to use over both deep and shallow areas. Fish cant seem to resist them.

I have used electric chicken, Calico, pink and red shads in my tackle box, used them when bottom fishing for sculpin and rockfish off the coast. I typically use a double set up with either a soft bait on the bottom and squid on top or both softbaits with a small piece of squid on the jig hook. The sculpins snap em up like candy usually pulling up two fish each cast.

I bought one pack to try out and was amazed when the tails didn’t rip after 15-20 shorts and keepers. The elaZtech plastic is incredibly stretchy and durable. You just rig it onto your jig head and super glue them together and you have a lure that will last you 30-40 fish. Amazing bait….. that’s why I bought 35 more packs.

These baits are extremely durable and offer a great presentation. We have a lot of long nose Gar around here and they will latch onto plastics and usually rip them in half unless I’m using a Z-man plastic. Then they just let go when you start pulling them out of the water and 90% of the time the plastic is still perfectly fine.

I rig this lure on two rods every day in two colors in Port A. First cast or second, it always finds a fish. Sometimes a red, a trout or a croaker. Fish see it as eye candy and eat it without hesitation. I have three colors light, medium and dark depending on water conditions. Get two or three colors to start. You will soon find the ones that work best for you. And they last a long time. Reel fisherman, fish Z-man.
Love using these baits and doa 3" Cal shads.These baits are very durable , long lasting , strongCons pain in the butt to rig , only get 6 baits in a pack for the price , some baits you can't even use once due to then sliding right off the jigheads and weedless hooks. Can't cast straight into the wind or with a wind that's on a angle.These baits are great for a small light wind anything about 5 to 8 mph winds you are better off going to a heavy plastic bait like doa for example that will cast into the winds.As a Wade Angler casting into the wind is the only way to fish sometimes. Thus I have to use 2 different baits.Other then those few different cons I still RECOMMEND these baits
Rig on a jig head of your choice and go get ‘em!I use a drop of superglue where the lure meets the jig head. Last time out, caught 15 sea-trout with one lure. Fish after fish without having to reset the plastic on the head and it was STILL perfectly useable.
For years, I have been fishing primarily brackish waters for stripers, specks, and drum using a variety of softbait lures. Without question, the Z-man Elaztech paddletails, specifically the DieZel/MinnowZ rigged with the Texas eye jighead has been the most consistent in catching fish. The paddle tails have great action and can be fished a variety of ways. They are very durable and do not lose color or shape over time. The one minor issue I have, although not unique to Z-Man, is that sometimes after much use, the paddle tail doesn't always stay rigged in position and can slide down. I keep a little super glue in my tackle bag to take care of that. Overall a great product.
I have used these baits for both fresh and saltwater fishing and they work great for both. As most people find they can be a little tricky to put onto a jig head but once you get the hang of it they stay onto the jig much better than other soft baits. I have found that working these baits slowly along the bottom produces the best results for bass and other species. You can use the same bait all day and catch multiple fish on it opposed to other baits that tear easily. I find that a 1/8 oz trout eyz jig head is a perfect match for this size bait. I have had success with many colors but opening night and green lantern are my two favorites.
I love the 4" Bad Shad, The Deal, and the Pearl. especially with the Trout Eye jighead. The action is good and if I need a little more buoyancy, a few quick stretches of the bait and boom. It's like a different bait. If you're not using a jighead with a good bait keeper there are a few tricks you can use. Superglue will work, but I like to use another hook and pull a loop of the ElaZtech material over the hook eye to keep it in place. (YouTube search "7 ElaZtech Hacks" and you'll find a tutorial by ZMan.)
I have used these to catch Striped Bass, Catfish, Speckled Seatrout, White Perch, Bass, and Snakehead. It can be used for just about anything. The minnows are super durable. You can fish an entire day with 1 and it's still good to go. Sometimes it slips down on the hook, but a drop of superglue fixes that
