Z man baits??

[fishingwithblue]

I have never used Z man baits. I have fished GULP for a long time but never seen the Z man stuff.

Could somebody tell me about them, why they are good and where to get them. Pics would be great too. Thanks.

I used the Lizards this spring..I liked the feel of them..the texture of them are alot more soft than most plastics and can be rigged multiple times. The only downside i found with them was that because of whatever material they are made of they melted together very easily and were useless..I believe I picked mine up at the wal-mart in hinesville.

I just got me a bunch of zman stuff (paddlerz & minnowz) in today and be trying it out tomorrow morning, so I'll post up with I hope good results.

Good luck, hope you catch em. Are they scented?

[laughinggull]

yes they're scented. Hopefully that's what the secret is. I need to find me some of that pro-cure zman uses on their scented stuff.

They are soft plastic that super stretch. The ones with the z on the end of the name are scented with procure. They come in shrimp, paddle rail, and jerk bait for saltwater. They work pretty good, about the same as gulp, but softer and hardier.
The white and Houdini colors are my favorite.

Here is their explanation of their technology for each of their products. zmanfishing.com/cms/technology.html

These are the ones I like to use around this area for inshore fishing. zmanfishing.com/store/categories/elaztech/scented_paddlerz

Sorry for posting in the wrong spot but thanks for the info.

Spot Tail's Tackle & Marine is selling some Z-MAN products. Mainly the Paddlerz in white and Houdini. The white are working well for flounder and reds.
Spot Tail's is trying to get more of the Z-MAN products in the store.

I like these Baits, I caught a 55' Slam on the White in about 4 hours fishing last weekend.!!! all on the same 1 bait, no problem with tails getting bitten off due to the elaztech stretch.

I've fell in love with these baits. I don't even use my gulps anymore. May 25th I went out fishing and caught 13 trout. The fish wouldn't even bite my mud minnows i was using on the burnside bopper. They are a little expensive, but not anymore $ than the gulps and they last forever. I still have a pearl paddlerz that I used 3 fishing trips ago and you can't even tell I hardly used it. Just buy some pro-cure (saltwater formula) from spottails and apply as needed to the used Zman scented bait. I'm going out monday morning to try my hand at the flounder. Still haven't caught one on the Zman yet.

That's got to be a record!! 18.33 feet per fish.

Seriously, a 55 inch slam is very respectable.

Love your 55' slam oh I mean 55" slam Way to go troutman. That is the way to get them.
