ICAST 2011: ZMan

Z Man continues to produce the “Original Chatterbait” but has added four new colors this year giving them well over twenty in all. This vibrating jig has multiple uses and can be rigged with different trailers to address various fishing situations at multiple depths. Or it can be thrown without anything at all to decrease its profile for picky fish. They all come with their own matching, double tail trailer and are available in several weights. 

Z Man produces soft plastics as well that are usually made of Elaztek. This material is much more durable than the standard soft plastic and has a natural buoyancy built into them. For this year, Z Man is adding colors to their existing Crawdadz line as well as introducing two new craw type products.

The new Z Man Punch Craw is designed as a punch bait to penetrate heavy cover. This bait is a bit smaller and can also be used as a trailer for finesse applications. The other new bait is  named the Flappin’ Craw and has all the same advantages but a different action with the design of the claws.
