Description

The culmination of years of finesse bait refinement from the creators of the Ned rig bait category, the Z-Man® 3.25” TRD FattyZ™ creeps along with a tantalizing, slinky-like action. The finesse bait’s tireless wagging tail is fueled by a slender midsection and meatier posterior that tapers down to a spearpoint tail. Designed with a flat underside for subtle gliding action, the TRD FattyZ pairs with Finesse ShroomZ™, NedlockZ™ or other Ned rig jigheads. The bait’s soft yet ridiculously durable ElaZtech® composition also offers natural buoyancy that self-activates on the pause. Stop the retrieve and watch the tail ascend, wave and ripple with the slightest activation or underwater current. The TRD FattyZ amps up the action-attraction factor while presenting reluctant bass with a subtle, minimalist TRD-sized profile. Popular FattyZ™ profile in a 3.25” Ned-sized package due to customer demand Thick body, narrow tapered midsection, and bulbous tail produces enhanced tail action over standard stick-shaped Ned Rig baits Incredibly durable 10X Tough ElaZtech® outlasts traditional soft plastics by a wide margin Buoyant material enables tail to stand up off the bottom at rest Salt-impregnated for added taste, texture, and casting weight Designed for the Ned Rig technique, but ideal for a variety of finesse applications including drop-shotting and tiny child rigs Pairs perfectly with a variety of jighead options, including Finesse ShroomZ™, Pro ShroomZ™, NedlockZ™, NedlockZ™ EWG, and Finesse BulletZ™ Offered in the 10 most popular TRD color patterns, 8 baits per pack.

Field Notes

Designed for Ned rig and other finesse presentations when bass are pressured or feeding lightly. The buoyant ElaZtech body stands up on the bottom and the tail activates with minimal movement, making it effective on pauses, subtle drags, and light current. It also works well for drop-shotting and other small-profile bottom presentations.

Pros

  • Highly durable 10X Tough ElaZtech construction
  • Buoyant body stands up on the bottom
  • Subtle tail action for finesse fishing

Cons

  • Best suited to light-line finesse tactics
  • Limited profile may not appeal when fish want a larger meal
