Description

Australia's #1 curl tail plastic with an incredible tournament winning record. The ZMan 2.5" GrubZ has landed over a hundred different species in Australia and established itself as both a giant killer and Australia's favourite bream tournament lure. A short stocky body makes the 2.5" GrubZ perfect for smaller hooks and the long curl tail has an irresistible action that gets the bite. The ElaZtech construction means the GrubZ are up to 10X tougher than standard soft plastics, helping them last when the blowies and leatherjackets are on the prowl, while its super-soft and flexible, realistic feel sees the fish engulfing the whole lure when it is slowly worked away from them. The buoyancy of the ElaZtech means that even when paused, the tail floats up and sways seductively with the movement of the water, attracting fish and triggering strikes. Not just an ideal bream plastic though, the ZMan 2.5" GrubZ has proven deadly on almost any species that swims in our rivers, lakes and estuaries, while also being that jellybean presentation you are looking for when targeting larger species.

Field Notes

This is a small curl-tail soft plastic grub for finesse presentations in rivers, lakes, and estuaries. The buoyant ElaZtech body lets the tail keep working on a pause, so it’s effective when slowly retrieved or worked around baitfish-holding areas and light cover. It’s especially suited to smaller hooks and jigheads for bream and other species that want a subtle, natural profile.

Pros

  • Tough ElaZtech construction lasts much longer than standard soft plastics
  • Buoyant tail stays active even when paused
  • Compact profile is good for finesse and smaller hooks

Cons

  • Small size may not appeal to larger fish without the right presentation
  • Soft plastic body can be too subtle in very dirty water
