Bass Fishing with a ZMan TRD! How Many Bass Can I Catch on ONE WORM?

Today I am bass fishing with a ZMan TRD. Just how many bass can I catch on one worm? The Zman TRD is a soft plastic stick bait made with ElaZtech. The worms are rubbery but durable. I was able to catch 10 largemouth bass in one night on a single TRD. They ranged in sizes with various jumps and typical bass fishing action. The TRD is good for a Texas Rig as well as a NED rig. I prefer the Texas Rig because it is the more snag resistant approach. Bass fishing with a ZMan TRD can be a lot of fun. How many bass can you catch on one worm? #Fishing #Realistic

You had a rare fishing night. 🎣 Those are the times we like talk about and remember. 🎉🎊🎆

[@Shurmash]

One of the best lures and materials ever created.

[@RealisticFishing]

except when it touches another soft plastic 🥈

[@harrisonu]

@@RealisticFishing agreed. They are magic as long as you keep them separate from other plastics. Scored a pack of the zman senko style, made our of the same stuff for $2.70, in sale at dick's. My typical yum dingers and senkos would be falling apart at the hook contact points by now. That or the line would be cutting through. I also always get hung up with the ned style heads. I want to try the ewg style ned heads.

[@clmwrx]

@@harrisonu the ewg ned heads help some with grass but thats it

[@harrisonu]

@@clmwrx long live the Texas rig!

[@TSoneonetwo]

@@RealisticFishing sitting in a hot car, ain't good for them, either. that was an expensive lesson...

[@broshfishingandadventures4386]

The fish there are really active......fightin and jumping.........fish on master......

[@lsmftwitchell1939]

Can't see where any mentioned how good is was to let a well hooked fish untangle itself. Sometimes they untangle and sometimes they get more tangled. It is chance worth taking. Well done Alex! 🪙 🏆

[@punkrockfishingfreak3901]

Cutting through the woods.. Damn story of my life.. Always cutting through the woods or the swamp, the life of a land surveyor. To go places most people want nothing to do with but I love my job, most of the time.. Always keep a combo in the work truck never know when we might find a pond or creek that's probably never been fished..

[@clumsyfishing9498]

I always manage to slip and fall when I have to wade in the water. Glad to see you aren’t as clumsy as I am 💪

[@FishingWithLardAlmighty]

Always nice to lose count of how many fish you catch. Thanks for another great video!

[@j.t.cooper2963]

Texas rig for the win, again! 👍🏻😎🍻 The TRD's definitely last longer than a Yamamoto Senko, thats for sure.

[@fishingwithjesus2274]

Great video, lots of fish and even a miss on a little one. Thank you for putting me in the video. Much appreciatied!!!

[@TheJuggaloFishingPosse]

The man the myth the legend stomping them on the TRD!!! Have you tried the ned rig? "Yes I have, and it snags everything." Lol. You ain't lying brother 😂

[@sethjohnsonoutdoors4055]

Hammered 🔨 🔨 the bass!!! Wooooooo weeeeeeeeeee!! Great video man!

[@alnegron9309]

That is one magical TRD Alex!! I would put that bad boy up on the wall with the amount of fish you got on it. Thing is insane. Way to go.

[@brianbreslin8824]

Looks like the perfect setup for teaching kids to catch bass. A real numbers bait that will keep them from getting bored.

[@dnacash]

That elaztech material is super tough. My saltwater baits are made out of it and they stand up to bluefish and flounder with all their teeth!

[@ghayes2135]

What a great day fishing! Good on ya Alex!

[@nickjones5603]

Nothing better than getting off of work to watch one of your videos!

[@dylant4737]

Z-Man TRD stands for The Real Deal. Some Toyota Tacoma’s have TRD (Toyota Racing District) written on the side and I will never be able to read that maturely without saying turd in my head 😂 *Great* numbers today!! Goes to show how powerful a Senko is!

[@jasonlopez4855]

The TRD Z-Men in Junebug just works great for me. Nice video

[@fishingwithvance]

That third one put on a nice air show. Texas Rig TRD... Doing work!

[@RealisticFishing]

You gotta try it instead of a tube!

[@AndyFreemanNashvilleRealtor]

You taught me how to catch stocked rainbow at Nice Mill dam. I owe you a favor. Thanks for everything. Peace

[@tonymcbroom5252]

Dang, the fish is tangled around a branch.... WWRFD.... This will go through the mind of everyone who watched this video the next time they get wrapped up by a bass. This sir will go down in history as one of the best "training" videos of all time. Awesome video Alex, keep them coming sir!

[@tomfisher2103]

Nice work out there! You are the Texas Rig Whisperer. Got some nice ones.....with cheese.

[@CasualGirlAdventures]

Awesome catching bass! we just got back from catching us some bass and trout.

[@turinx]

I really love the ZMan plastics. That ElaZtech lasts several fish. Alex, I don't know if you've seen them, but they sell EWG ned heads so that you are not having to Texas rig. You should look them up.

[@johnhanish4549]

Thàt was a great night of fishing keep it realistic 😊

[@nashguy207]

Texas rig for the win. You had a great afternoon of fishing for sure. Thanks for sharing!!

[@RealisticFishing]

Thanks for watching!

[@BassGeek]

Man that is a fishy looking place. Nice catches.

[@JerseyJoel]

That was tense when that Bass was hung up on that branch - I thought you were going in brother! 😄 💧 🐟 The Zman getting it done! 👊 🎣

[@lsmftwitchell1939]

Haven't seen a TRD that long before. Looks like a worm 🪱 for Texas Rigging. I like it. Those TRD's will take a beating. Have to look 👀for some.

[@duanetaylor1526]

Great job catching bass. Everyone is commenting on how good of a lure it is. I just might need to try it. Thanks Alex for a great Realistic Fishing Video. KiR!!!

[@jazawa]

Amazing catches in a row. I'll try the rig, thanks!

[@frankthebank2]

I have alot of ned baits and neds get snagged non stop here watching the videos im gonna do them Texas rig style now 😎

[@carltonphelps8088]

Dang! A lot of action today. Had to fun.

[@mr_b22]

Lots of bass this trip. I've seen you catch bigger bass but all these guys looked extra healthy and strong.

[@nievesgeorge77]

Love those zmans. Use them all the time in my neck of the woods.

[@RealisticFishing]

🥉

[@michaelfoster5044]

Great video Alex i got a few bags of the big trd's they get tomcods to salmon up here

[@CoastalFeverTV]

Z-Man makes awesome lures. Super durable. I use them all the time when I go snook fishing. They don’t even tear up catching those guys. Fishing the TRD Texas rig is about the only way I can fish em down here in Florida. Way to much grass to use it on a Ned rig. Great video brother!

[@RealisticFishing]

Snaggy ned rig... 😅

[@CoastalFeverTV]

@@RealisticFishing Very snaggy 😂

[@briancottom4808]

Hey Alex that's Realistic, looked like a fun night. Going to fish today with the Z-man and try your rig out. It's been a minute between fish this week. Just nothing bites right now around Matthews NC. Water temps tooooooooooooooooo hot I guess.

[@ejoshfish9470]

That ending is the best 🤣

[@NStone90]

The good ol Texas rigged worn has been killing it for me lately, I haven't really thrown it much since I their a wacky rig but it's been effective.

[@subieracer005]

Your "sponsor me" dink tape is FIRE ! Karl and the Googs will be busting down your door soon! This is about as realistic as my fishing goes as well!

[@seizedcarcass8440]

If you can’t stand the Ned rig hanging up you can try out the Zman Nedlockz EWG or the Finesse Bulletz. Works great for snaggy areas!

[@FirstCatch]

Nice fishing Bass collection. 🙌

[@RealisticFishing]

collecting and releasing

[@josephhrnciar9376]

Great night Alex and great idea with the Texas rig. After watching this video I’m heading out to McDonald’s for quarter pounder with cheese!! 🍔🍔🍔

[@PastorPeewee20]

Great video thanks man hi Tammy from Texas im also in texas

[@ronaldyeater3322]

Sup. Love the set up. Fish on, play it might free itself? Nice bass! Nice #2. That sounded bad lol. #3 camera shy lol. Darn. Might have to look for that bait while rebuilding tackle. Nice #4. #5. Same worm? Wow. #6. #7 nice bass. #8 same worm. #9 lol. That bait is realistic! Omg #10. Tyvm tc

[@RealisticFishing]

all the way up to 10!

[@ifishcatfish]

good outing man. I have to try some kind of texas rig for crappie, so i can fish trees better..

[@RealisticFishing]

I have caught crappie on texas rigged swimbaits 👍

[@luinthorn9592]

Wow! I’ve heard of bigger fish going after hooked fish, but you gotta watch for those tree bass! They are vicious!😂

[@tnfishing9089]

Great video Alex!!

[@RealisticFishing]

Thanks 👍

[@arturomoreno4911]

That’s just crazy… I do the Ned rig and lose a ton of setups… Nvr though it would work on tax rig…. I’m an idiot…. Great job bro…

[@RealisticFishing]

Give it a try and keep your rigs!

[@helotaxi]

The action is totally different but it certainly works.

[@dustinthomas3836]

The new EWG style Ned heads from several companies including Z-Man help a bunch. I’ve been throwing the Ned rig in a lot of places I couldn’t before.

[@ridley975]

Man you slayed them tonight! Making me get the itch to go!

[@randyhowe4053]

Didn't know you could use it this way. Thanks! Love your Videos!

[@anacordero3150]

Nice....you had a good day!!!

[@RealisticFishing]

I always have a good day 😅

[@alexcarvalho6243]

Another great video, Alex! 🤘🏻A hug! 🇧🇷

[@RealisticFishing]

Hey Alex!

[@robertminnis417]

Hey Alex, is your boat tore up. I noticed that you haven't taken it out in a while. I was just wondering. God bless buddy and I love your videos.

[@rykdean2752]

The zman trd is my go-to bait. I have caught more fish on it than anything else. Thanks for another good video.

[@eikofisser8171]

First cast, sometimes you are lucky! Nice vid Alex! 🍀👍

[@RealisticFishing]

👍👍

[@dullahan1315]

Another gear episode! Thanks for keeping it realistic!!

[@sammyvh11]

I like the ZMan NED with TRD in rivers. It does snag a lot but it catches. I caught a 35 in Muskie on one in the Susquehanna River in PA along with like 10 Smallies.

[@mountaindave01]

That was definitely realistic fishing!

[@fishlovme]

Fishing a ned worm on a Texas rig...now that's realistic!

[@davetheheretic295]

I was going to do a smart-alecky "You should ned rig it," but you beat me to it.

[@RealisticFishing]

Ha! Knocked that smarty pants sh*t right out your m.... 😂

[@dramad2974]

Nice bag tonight👏👏

[@daddyosink4413]

I need to pick up some of these.... I've always been a Zoom guy because that's what I grew up with. I do love a Senko though...

[@travisbruno1988]

Cant ever go wrong with a texas rig. 👍

[@VinnyBagODoughnuts]

First cast! Nice!

[@fishingwithcoachbrown7054]

Great video as always. Not gonna lie, I wanted the “Keep it realistic” at the end. It was pretty dark though!

[@mikeshuck2760]

I am not an accomplished Bass guy! But I fish my local lakes here in the SF Bay Area for bass. Zman TRD texas, on a 2/0 offset worm hook. This is my go to bait for our over pressured waters here.The floating TRD gets bit when senko doesn’t. Both the larger bait and the small finesse bait.

[@brandonfox909]

Well done. Watching you use texas rig made my confidence go way up with mine and the way I use it. Thanks!

[@RealisticFishing]

Sometimes confidence makes all the difference! 👍

[@jefferystovall9617]

Another good day of fishing

[@thespanishangler4534]

Now that was a great video Alex. I just caught 4 myself on a kytech swimbait. Nice work #thespanishangler

[@douglasetter5006]

My motto when bank fishing is no exposed hooks unless under a float-tried the tiny child rig on TRD and is like Texas rig with mushroom weight on opposite end-pretty weedless.

[@FISHANE84]

Those are some durable lures!

[@kevintebo3736]

Got to love those trd.

[@alciao3441]

Zman is all I buy now. They last forever. I really like the finesse worm. They are reasonably priced. The bulletz hooks are a bit pricey though, but darn good hooks. I use the 1/15 oz ones.

[@davidb2920]

Now does the trd float Texas rig styel I wonder . dam Alex you can't miss today he's on fire

[@danielbender6473]

Love the videos man. I've seen you go after panfish with those little one inch gulp minnows, I saw some bags of the two to three inch ones in the store the other day. Was wondering if you'd ever fished with the bigger ones and if so, what have you caught on them. Considering buying a bag just to see what I can get.

[@ModestReviews]

Wish they were biting that good here.. great video as always!

[@sjones7400]

Finesse rigs doing the job for ya lately👍👍👍. Peace bro…..

[@joebuck66]

Great video.

[@justincostner5641]

Wow!! Amazing job 🤗

[@darrellschulte3868]

Fricken awesome day of Bass fishing. Maybe not any monsters, but that's what being realistic is. Every other video isn't about 7lb bass, or 1lb crappie

[@Hawkeye9107]

Great video and thanks for replying to those who comment!

[@peacehunt4466]

Just tried them out and I love this lure but I do use it as a ned rig

[@barrygladfelter59]

I have been using them Zoom Baby brush hog in the creek and I'm pulling large mouths all day and not to mention one of my local Walmart's are selling Pautzke Fire worms in pink the bass at the lake love em

[@joycedimaggio3816]

Bass seem to be near the shore line today. Awesome

[@clmwrx]

Do love big trd. Might should try t rigging one myself

[@andrewholub2055]

Don't you get tired of catching all little fish? Because I don't ! Nice work 💪

[@RealisticFishing]

I usually dont know how big they are until they are caught

[@alciao3441]

Good video. I love zman products. Only wish their bulletz hooks were cheaper.

[@franklinhill3903]

Bruh you're on 🔥 today I'm digging this video i got to get me some of those worms that's Real

[@davidkaufman7979]

Good job with the zman 👍 need to try the big trd 🎣

[@ChaosDivers]

I know I didn’t get first 😂 my phone was being crazy

[@RealisticFishing]

yes you did!

[@lesforet4495]

Well yeah thats what I've been catching em on all year. That elaztech is tough and they float.

[@Heliosphan33]

Love hearing those owls

[@RealisticFishing]

who? 😂

[@chris1406]

Try the 3 inch trd with a garmikatsu size 2 hook and 1/32 bull shot weight about 6 inches from the hook

[@rossbowman202]

Heck yeah Alex. You're going to make Bro Manson jealous. 🤣😂🤣

[@donnieb903]

Texas rigging TRD is the way to go. Too many snags when I use the regular Ned rig.

[@SydewayzSS]

I like to use the big TRD with a Ned jig, it has the Ned head and ewg hook so I can Texas rig it it works great

[@Ridg76]

Bro Manson loves to fish a TRD!

[@joshuaquick9503]

I have fished with the zman trick shot z and caught a bass on it
