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! 😂

[@TWC6724]

They definitely can mimic sculpin.

[@clarenceboone2972]

They work great

[@javierl.xaviman8086]

Seems like megabass dark sleeper

[@clarenceboone2972]

It is just more durable

I watched a stocker trout in a clear stream eye one for a few seconds, then slammed it. It was the trd version in yoga pants. Does not matter he’d never eaten a black goby before. Same for stocked trout in dirty ponds. It works.

Well said!👏👏👏👏

I need a 1/4 oz size hopefully this fall

We have similar Gudgeon

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

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.
