Here in South Texas we like to use these with other plastics like down south etc. Get ur fishing pliers and remove the lead chin lock. Super easy and doesn’t ruin ur soft plastic

[@BIGROB123]

I was about to say the same thing. Good thinking on your toes.

[@ryanbrown4158]

Yes sir! I love using these with down south lures. The finesse 1/8th oz texas eyes are my favorite with the southern shad models. For trout

[@KayakFishingAddict]

Best jig ever. I started using them recently and love them. And they’re relatively cheap too.

[@austincanning7013]

These are my favorite weedles jig heads hands down🔥

[@livenhfree]

Love your idea about sorting hook weight by eye color! I'm-a take that to the bank. Thanks!

[@lainshore-brandonmaskew]

Can’t go wrong with Z-man products 👍

[@jheckler3691]

Hi Luke, saw you yesterday near Goodland . Great looking boat. Hope you did well up in that creek. We did. John

[@comfortablynumb9342]

I wish they made the Texas Eye jigs with 3/8 heads but smaller hooks, I've only seen 3/8 oz with bigger hooks. 3/8 with a 3/0 or 4/0 hook would be cool for bumping around rocks for flounder and in channels near flats. I use the 1/8, 3/16 and 1/4 oz sizes and so far I like them. The action with a Diezel MinnowZ is pretty awesome.

[@Saltstrong]

Thanks for the comment!

[@teegeehancock577]

i remove the keeper when using Other soft plastics

[@Saltstrong]

Thanks for sharing the tip!

[@NickFrankF]

Can this set up be used for salt water fishing or fresh water

[@jimmybrown2731]

We need the diezel minnow 5 inch and 7 inch slam shady along with the razor shadz and a ez shrimp couldn’t hurt lol

[@Saltstrong]

We'll do our best to make that happen

[@jimmybrown2731]

@@Saltstrong you guys are the best truly that would be fantastic can’t go wrong with slam shady no matter the conditions

[@carson1060]

Spot on review! I used the Texas eye with the strikeking rage menace. Plastic took a beating but I was pulling them in so can't be mad 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@Saltstrong]

Thanks!

[@seanwoods4070]

If you’re having trouble finding them try your local West Marine.

[@Saltstrong]

Thanks for the comment!

[@JonathanAKuhn]

I’ve had very bad luck with getting the hook to come out. Material is too hard and the hook does not come out. Any advice on that?

[@ArsenalFan1714]

I just started using z man caught some flounder on the paddle z haven’t fished these minow z yet

[@livenhfree]

Huh. Looks like you crimped down the barb here? Would be interested in knowing a little more about that. Thanks for the vid. Very helpful!

[@LmartRanch]

Snug or loop Knot for this specific jig?

[@brandonedwards3044]

I have no issue fishing docks with these jig heads or skipping them.

[@scottf.5472]

Great idea about eye color = weight

[@Saltstrong]

Glad to see that you enjoyed that tip!

[@noahjohns7954]

I’m definitely picking up a couple packs of these and some trout eyes when I’m in South Carolina! Love my z mans, maybe I’ll buy them at the actual z man factory/ headquarters.

[@Saltstrong]

Cool!

[@VizagFish]

Nice information

[@G.I.BRO69]

Zman also makes a similar product called Finesse Bulletz. Same idea except the head doesn’t move.

[@KansaSCaymanS]

Snug or loop knot to leader?

[@RyanSmith-fb8rf]

Try these with a small creature bait for flipping beds for bass 🔥 Thank me later

[@Saltstrong]

Good Info! 💪🔥💪

[@charlesgurnea2004]

Do you tie a loop knot or polymer knot

[@ryanvlasic1849]

If I were going to use this, I'd use a regular weighted twist lock hook so I could skip it under the mangroves or dock

[@cyclonedronz7861]

does not work as well as the texas eye IMHO

[@psimmy73]

Do you rig these with a loop knot?

[@joestrummer9507]

Hmm, pretty small gap on that hook for that bait as well as short length from hook point to bend (where shank is in the bait). Sure it won't snag but it looks like the hook point won't expose much on bites and hook-sets thus decreasing your hook-up ratio/landing percentage.

[@cuko3232]

What’s an all around good size to get ? I’m leaning towards 3/16?

[@tjsouthard870]

I hate that "keeper" i dont use these specially becuase of that dumb ittle point.

[@Saltstrong]

It has its benefits

[@nicstr28]

I dont care for them. Too difficult to rig properly with that chin lock. Gave 3 packs away. That was $20 down the drain

[@Justin-vg7ij]

You should try them again - they are actually super easy to rig with z-man baits. Not so great with traditional plastics. But one diezel minnow on a Texas eye can easily last 20+ fish if not more.

[@barryhowell9]

Dumb move z

[@ryanbrown4158]

Remove the little Chin lock with pair of pliers and they work great with other spft plastics as well 🤷‍♂️

[@Saltstrong]

How cool that you saw us out there! The bite was tough, but we at least got into some fun snook. How did you do out there?

[@jheckler3691]

@@Saltstrong Enough Mangrove for lunch, wish we had hit those snook. Little spooked by the storms but they passed.
