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
