I am going to use the swimmerz for calicos. They are 6 inches long and look good.

They also have grubz that are 9 inches long.

The new Z-Man swimjigs in 1/2-3/4oz “Football JigZ” are awesome!
TT HeadlockZ jigs.
Reebs Quick Limits swimjigs.
Lead Masters swimjigs.
Warbaits swimjigs.
& ANY weedless swim jig with barb keeper.

FYI- Don’t use “screw-springs” to lock in your ElaZtech baitZ.
Those are only for inferior plastics and will NOT work with Z-Man ElaZtech.
The reason why is because the screw will tear into regular plastic baits, Z-Man’s ElaZtech super stretchy formula doesn’t propagate a tear, and wont allow the spring to cut or drill in. Use a barbed bait keeper for ElaZtech.

Thanks for the info Wade. I passed along the rigging for the pop shadz to my little bro back in Ohio. He just got some recently for LMB.

Because they want you to buy the inferior bulk plastics at a higher rate $, that also need to be replaced & break quite often, as compared to Z-Man..
I have tried to acquire Southern California Z-Man accounts at a few retailers, and they have told me this personally!?!…

Z-Man’s ElaZtech formula literally is “10X Tough” & lives up to its motto.
Thus the reason they will last you longer, costing you less money..
You will not need as many, & you will catch more fish!
I hate to sound like a broken record or some constant lame advertisement but this is NOT & others are a askin'...

Sure, I’ve been using almost the entire Z-Man line up by personal choice for many years.. Thankfully I have had the privilege of several tackle manufacturers sponsoring me to product test their offerings & Z-Man has reigned KING time & time again. Made in the USA!
4” & 5” PaddlerZ.
5” & 7” Scented Jerk ShadZ.
8” StreakZ XL.
Don’t be afraid to use the 5” PaddlerZ for MONSTER Calicos. You don’t always need a bait the size of your arm to get the job done right, and a smaller profile can be finessed in the thicker kelp. The skirts on my swimjigs beefs up the overall profile. I don’t mind throwing the BIG baits either..+ there are a lot of really cool colors for the StreakZ XL & Jerk ShadZ that don’t come available on the PaddlerZ fyi. (Same goes for the 4” PaddlerZ Vs. the 5”.)

The Jerk ShadZ split tails are great and produce too, but the kick and wobble enticing action the PaddlerZ & SwimmerZ produce is unmatched. I have been mentioning to Z-Man for a couple years to put out an PaddlerZ in XL or Boot version on the StreakZ XL & it maybe it will happen?..
To each their own application, although I personally like pitching boot/paddle tail style swimbaitZ..

There are many more colorZ, and they look even better in person due to camera flash, reflection, glare,in packaging, with or without procure, ect in the online/catalog chip charts. (Many tackle manufacturers plastic colors & skirts usually look way off hue or appear really darker then they actually are fwiw.
The new 6” Houdini SwimmerZ are absolutely AMAZING!! You want a brown/red bait for CALICOS, HERE IT IS!
Comes with the signature Z-Man belly slot for full weedless rigging!
I will be testing them out for the first time this week & can’t wait…


Caught on 5" Z-Man Pinfish PaddlerZ, rigged weedless on a 3/4 Oz Warbaits white swim jig.
Look for this in the next KAYAK ANGLER MAGAZINE to hit the newsstands!

Where do you buy those TT Headlock jigs I did a search and they are from Australia?

Stay tuned, working hard on & off the water...
Or come fish with me!..



Gut-Bombs yesterday on Z-Man's new Football SwimJigZ!

On the last Gonzaga trip I caught over 40 spotties on the same z man tail rigged on a a chatterbait. Trigger fish bite them too but they seem to resist better and last much longer. Tight lines
