Description

Taking a time-tested softbait profile, scaling it down to Ned Rig proportions, and building it from naturally buoyant ElaZtech® material results in a finesse bait that is a necessity for serious bass anglers. The ribbed body traps fish-attracting bubbles and provides an extra-soft feel, while its oversized appendages trigger bites as they lift off the bottom at rest. The TRD BugZ™ is equally suited for rigging on a ShroomZ™ or NedlockZ™ jighead for open water, a Finesse BulletZ™ weedless hook for crawling through cover, or a Football NedZ™ jighead for dragging across rocky bottoms. And, once this bait gets bit repeatedly—as it surely will—you won’t need to worry about it ripping or tearing thanks to its 10X Tough superplastic construction!

Field Notes

A finesse bass bait designed for Ned rig presentations. It works well on a jighead for open water, on a weedless hook through cover, or dragged along rocky bottoms. The buoyant material keeps the bait lifted at rest, making it effective when fish want a subtle bottom-oriented presentation.

Pros

  • Buoyant ElaZtech material stands up off the bottom
  • 10X Tough construction resists tearing
  • Versatile for open water, cover, and rocky bottoms

Cons

  • Requires separate jighead or weedless hook
  • Best suited to finesse presentations rather than power fishing
