Gobius in Non-Goby Waters

Living (and often, hiding) in every fresh- and saltwater fishery are little bottom dwelling baitfish-gobies, sculpin, darters, bullheads, mudminnows-that provide predatory sustenance. Sure, smallmouth bass relish gobies and eat them like candy. But so do largemouths, brown trout, walleye . . . You name the gamefish; they all snack on pudgy little minnows that live and lie camouflaged near bottom. Chuck a Z-Man Gobius structure swimbait-gumdrop soft and yet radically resilient-and you’ll soon set the hook into things that like to pull back!

I've used this in Charleston for redfish last week and caught 15-20.

I thought the same thing - when the mud minnows are running this spring here in south Texas I see no reason why this bait wouldn’t excellent for redfish.

@@mrcruz956tx exactly. Looks just like a mud minnow on the bottom. I was back in the creeks and got on them pretty thick!

[@chasebarnard5750]

Might be similar to what a baby oyster toadfish looks like too. Not sure if they're prey or not at that size.

Nice sales pitch! 😂

[@ChemitasFishing]

I need a 1/4 oz size hopefully this fall

[@live2fishofficial]

Well said!👏👏👏👏

[@TWC6724]

They definitely can mimic sculpin.

[@clarenceboone2972]

They work great

[@javierl.xaviman8086]

Seems like megabass dark sleeper

[@clarenceboone2972]

It is just more durable

I’ve been using the mulletron and the Hercules .. they don’t come in a package that is reusable.. when I’m not using these baits where am I supposed to be storing them ? I know not with other plastics but doing research I see that flambeau K series works for z man but I can’t find it anywhere! I bought the z man bait binder but it didn’t come with any plastic sleeves to store baits , just 2 rings where I could clip my other z man bags .. can I store these in a regular plastic sleeve for other baits as long as nothing else was in there ? I love these baits but this is such a hassle that z man doesn’t address storage containers or bins .

[@PaintballShyguy]

Pretty sure they'll be fine in any storage container seperate from non-TPE baits. I haven't had issues with my Plano containers yet.

I don't think predatory fish exactly care what species it is lol. This lure will catch fish anywhere in the world.
