(These Plastic Swimbaits are brand new never rigged.
These ElaZtech Swimbaits have been fished many times, many fish, many nicks and cuts, hook tears rerigged & still the ElaZtech bait wont propagate a tear like plastic does..

I don't have much patience for fishing calicos in deeper water and mostly fish em in the summer when they're up on top. For top water stuff I like the jumbo slugs type plastics. When the kelp is pulled down just a foot or so below the surface a big light iron, tady 45, candy bar, salas 7x, can produce big fish. Again, its a surface summer thing but you can get a surface iron way back over the kelp and really cover the area. Also with the slugs and light iron you get to see some massive blow ups. Mike

One of the most popular Big Calico baits by far are the MC Slug or the old 7-9" Sluggos if you can find them.

Has anyone had a chance to fish the Z-man STREAKZ XL 8 inch baits?

I haven't even heard of these things until this came up in the post. Excited to give them a shot though. Went through 5 swimbaits today in SD bay due to tears.

Don't seem to be any Zmans in the local tackle shops, online only?
