ZMan Micro Finesse BaitZ - Shad FryZ, StingerZ, Tiny TicklerZ and LarvaZ

[@bazkaknics6095]

IMO these new plastics will be really attractive to the growing BFS community in Australia 🔥🔥🔥

[@Winkiedoodles]

Enjoyed your show! The first 3 MF lures have worked great hereabouts (W central MO) and the LarvaZ are on my 2023 season's radar. Best wishes. Don

Great video Justin. Definitely will need to get some Head Hunter Jig heads for the Larvaz

[@deefer305]

The LarvaZ and StingerZ look great and should work perfectly on a drop shot set up... I'm going to try them out. Any chance they will ever bring out their range in half size packs so we can purchase the same product in multiple colours without having piles of unused SP's taking up room in the tackle box? I am sure I am not the only one who wants this...

[@jasonlopez4855]

Live Z-Men works great but keep it in is own package. Is the best way to keep them good.

[@tackletacticstv7687]

Hey @jasonlopez4855, good call. ZMan has many benefits, including 10X Tough construction for more fish per lure, super-soft and flexible realistic feel to keep the fish biting, and allowing them to be rigged over and over, and a natural buoyancy that brings them to life in the water and presents a natural 'tail up' or 'claws up' presentation. To make the most of these benefits and keep them in optimum condition it is best to store them in their own packets and away from extreme heat. All the best with the fishing. Cheers, Justin

The Shad FryZ and StingerZ sure are chubby little buggers! In a green colour they would look just like a green clicker or nipper we get here in sydney - best bream bait on the planet IMHO. In a brown or grey they would go close to a tadpole representation so they might be a gun Bass or even a trout lure- the LarvaZ has muddeye written all over it and in a clear colour a very small prawn so with a hidden weight it might be a good whiting lure as well .

[@shawneldridge4465]

Definitely going by the z-man larvaz, They seem like the coolest of all and really need too. Can't wait to go up to Cabela's and buy them. Here in Pennsylvania, Trout season open up on Saturday April 1st and I think these will be perfect for it to

[@ReelAnglerReviews]

I'm going to get a couple, I wish you sold a starter pack so you could try all four.

[@NOMADTRAV1]

Look great, I’ll have to grab a few packs.

[@Alfsp1]

Beauty!

[@sldrose]

What colour fryZ have been best for vic bream?

[@tackletacticstv7687]

Hey @sldrose, Hope all's well and you're finding a fish. Winter normally brings with it clearer water, which would make the Smelt colour and absolute go-to in the Shad FryZ. Another favourite in all water conditions has been the Bumblebee colour. I generally fish them on a TT HeadlockZ Finesse Size 2 jighead or HeadlockZ HD Size 4 jighead. All the best with the fishing. Cheers, Justin

[@dwightrice7966]

Good stuff here! Where can I get HWS (Hidden Weight System) Jighead - Size 2?

[@pedropaccollazo2039]

What hook would you recommend for fishing then free rig? Thank you for your consideration.

[@offroadfishing]

What colour of the Shad Fryz would you recommend for clear water redfin?

[@EllenBV]

I am not sure if they are good for brown trout? 😊

[@hazardk.o6292]

Would they do well for spangled perch

[@JohnnyStabile]

Where can I order these in the states?

[@buzzworth2396]

Now that I've had time to play with both on numerous jigheads. It's obvious that TT makes the best jigheads for Zman micro finesse baits. I've tried quite a few & it's a no brainer. I use both versions. The mushroomZ & the ShadheadZ. ShadheadZ in my opinion are better but only on a few products. MushroomZ work better on micro GoatZ, micro TRDs, and Micro TicklerZ. They seem to look more natural with their presentation.

[@tackletacticstv7687]

Hey @buzzworth2396, The ZMan Micro Finesse range are definitely cool little critters and fun to fish. I'm glad you've got the jigheads for them sorted and we hope you get stuck into a few soon. Cheers, Justin

@@tackletacticstv7687 Jason, I was a research angler in 86 till 93 with Mann Bait Company out of Eufalla Alabama. Back then everything was so different. I've got a few friends that design baits for Strike King even now. We all agree that the discovery of Elaztech has seriously changed the fishing industry. I have changed my whole finesse fishing techniques for the simplicity of fishing with a bait that you can catch many species, more than just one time. Zman is the one to thank for that. Tackle Tactics came into play when I began to receive jigheads from Lifted Jigs and they changed their design without any warning. I contacted there customer service department and asked why they did so. A week later I was contacted by a female who claimed to be the field operations person. She assured me that they didn't change anything. I sent her a photo of the jigheads they once made me & the ones they just sent. She sent me more of the new design. When I responded & said I didn't want those they said that's all they make now. I politely told her I'm not going to continue our relationship like this. I said I would find a company that deserves my money & input. Tackle Tactics was that company. Since then, I never looked back I'm 63 yrs old and I have fished tournaments from 84 till my first divorce in 96. TT 's construction and designs are just what I need to accomplish this task. In 2025 I'm going to enter the Arkansas Grand Slam competition. It starts in January and goes through March. This woman here has won it 2 yrs in a row. This year if I had entered, I would have won. I had some huge fish this year and all of them were caught on Zman and Tackle Tactics jigheads. I kept photos of them all. Again, thanks to everyone involved with Tackle Tactics for helping me to continue my achievements.

Zman is a bit late to the micro finesse soft plastics game. The Japanese have been producing these type of micro plastics specifically for aji ( horse mackerels ) and mebaru ( rock fish ) for years so stating that these have unique features is an overstatement.
