Graph ShadZ™

$7.99
Created to reflect a vibrant forward-facing sonar (FFS) signal, the Z-Man® 3.8-inch Graph ShadZ™ features radical realism and a profile that appeals to the most challenging bass. The specialized pre-rigged jig and ElaZtech® softbait leads with its minimalist line-through jighead design and recessed, under-chin line tie. This inventive design produces a potent, ever-repeatable presentation, protecting and eliminating the need to constantly reposition the knot to achieve optimal line angle for precise horizontal balance. The lure pendulums to reach fish fast, but hovers in the strike zone thanks to its consistent 90-degree line angle and buoyant ElaZtech body. For ultra-lifelike realism, the balanced baitfish head is molded from varying combinations of precision alloyed metals so each head weight mates with its shad body (weights are stamped on jighead for easy reference.) The Graph ShadZ’ deep profile and calculated air cavity boosts sonar reflectivity, while molded-in scale patterning traps and releases air bubbles for even greater sonar-visibility. 10X Tough ElaZtech bait body offers maximum durability and natural buoyancy for a perfectly horizontal posture; forked tail and thicker lower lobe produces a true-to-life quivering motion that triggers more bites. The live sonar lure is armed with a medium-wire 3/0 black nickel, sickle shaped needlepoint hook for exceptional hookset ratio that keeps fish locked down. Offered in 8 color matched bodies and heads, with tournament tailored color schemes designed by Z-Man pros to match diverse fisheries and situations. Pre-rigged jighead and plastic combo engineered for use with forward-facing sonar (FFS) Revolutionary line-through jighead with recessed bottom line tie provides the perfect line angle for precise horizontal balance, pendulum swings, and depth control Heads molded from precisely alloyed materials to provide consistent head profile and mate seamlessly with bodies Air cavity in body increases strength of return on FFS Natural shad shape and highly detailed head sculpting mimics the profile of most common bass forage Molded-in recessed scale pattern traps air and releases bubbles for increased sonar visibility 10X Tough ElaZtech® material for maximum durability Balanced head design and naturally buoyant material couples to provide the perfect horizontal posture Forked tail with thick lower lobe produces a lifelike quivering motion Medium wire 3/0 black nickel sickle shape needlepoint hook offers an excellent hook-up ratio and keeps fish pinned securely Color matched bodies and heads with realistic 3D eyes tempt even the most finicky fish Offered in 8 tournament-tailored color schemes designed by Z-Man pros to match conditions and fisheries nationwide One pre-rigged jighead/plastic combo and one spare body per pack
