Description

Buoyant enough to float a standard 5/0 EWG hook, the 4” GOAT ToadZ™ features a wide, bulky body and streamlined profile which combine to greatly enhance castability. The customized cupped kicker tail design from the original GOAT™ bait series maximizes mobility and flow at slow, medium or fast retrieve speeds. Sculpted with a keel-shaped 'hull,' the bait's "V" belly yields stability and a quick-planning action on the retrieve. Topside, four dorsal ridges ride the ToadZ' back, guiding rigging with a single or double frog hook. Ridges also help protect exposed hook points, preventing fouling in grass or other cover while still easily penetrating bass jaws. Designed with the crowd-sourced input of Z-Man customers to create the ultimate topwater toad bait from the ultimate soft plastic material Thick, bulky body and streamlined design enhances castability Twin curved paddle feet kick and thump at all retrieve speeds Buoyant ElaZtech® material allows bait to stay on top on the slowest retrieves and even float at rest 10X Tough construction resists tearing and increases bait longevity Belly hook slot aids easy hooksets Dorsal ridges protect hook points on single and double hooks from fouling

Field Notes

Use this as a topwater toad over grass, pads, and other shallow cover where a weedless presentation matters. The buoyant body and kicking feet make it effective on slow to medium retrieves, and it can also be burned over open pockets to trigger reaction strikes.

Pros

  • Floats on a standard 5/0 EWG hook
  • Weedless-friendly dorsal ridges help reduce fouling
  • Works at slow, medium, or fast retrieve speeds
  • Durable ElaZtech construction

Cons

  • Best suited to topwater presentations only
  • Requires proper frog/toad rigging for best performance
