Description

As versatile as they are productive, our ZinkerZ™ are built on a super-effective 5” stickworm profile and dosed with a heavy slug of salt to counteract the natural buoyancy of the ElaZtech® material, creating a slow and tantalizing sink rate when fished unweighted. What’s more, he durable superplastic material prevents tearing when wacky rigged, completely eliminating the need for O-rings and other devices. Equally effective when fished on a Texas rig with a pegged worm weight, on our SMH™ Jighead, or with our Neko ShroomZ™, ZinkerZ™ outfish other soft stick baits due to their incredibly soft and limber composition. Best of all, thanks to our 10X Tough ElaZtech® material, they won't tear apart after a single fish and outlast other soft stickworms by a wide margin!

Field Notes

This is a 5-inch stickworm-style soft plastic designed for versatile finesse presentations. Fish it unweighted for a slow sink, or rig it Texas-style, wacky-style, or on a jighead/Neko setup when bass are holding around cover or suspended. The durable ElaZtech material is especially useful when you want a bait that lasts through multiple fish and repeated casts.

  • Slow, tantalizing sink rate when unweighted
  • Versatile rigging options: wacky, Texas rig, jighead, Neko

Cons

  • No built-in action beyond stickworm fall and subtle shimmy
  • Salt-heavy profile may be less ideal for anglers wanting a faster fall
