Z Man Plastics Where To Buy? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

buddha · 10-20-2014, 10:29 AM

I missed the sale at overstockbait.com because of a computer glitch. It wouldn't process my order and the selection was limited.

Where is the best place to buy them now online or in a store?

Amazon, bass pro, tackle warehouse, seaforth, angler's choice, etc.?

It appeared to me that bass pro may have the cheapest prices but adding on the shipping makes it more expensive.

Amazon prime seems to cost a few dollars more per package but you get free shipping.

If the local spots would be about the same price as the online stores I would rather go there if they had a good selection.

Where to go?

I buy from Tackle Warehouse

WildernessWanker · 10-20-2014, 06:46 PM

X2 Tacklewarehouse, although they don't carry all styles in all colors.

Basspro has free shipping promotions pretty often. Sign up for their email if you haven't already.

Thanks for that. To me it looks like basspro has the best prices and with free shipping it would be a no brainer.

Which Z man's do you like? I have been using the Paddlerz and the jerk shadz mostly. I am going to try those 6 inch Swimmerz down in baja.

What jig heads do you like to use?

Thanks in advance.

Buy dierectly from z man ! Great web site and they ship quick

FISH11 · 10-20-2014, 09:02 PM

I have ordered direct from Z Man when I wanted to be able to get the models and colors that often aren't available at the stores. I did pick up some more from that overstocked site before the sale ended, to get more of the jig heads with skirts that I didn't already have. I also saw some at the Seaforth store in Quivira Basin.

tsugg · 10-20-2014, 09:08 PM

Yes! I couldn't resist overstocks sale. Those were great prices. I'm all stocked up for. While

What skirted jig heads have you tried before? I bought some warbaits and I know they will be good in the kelp but in the eel grass they are terrible. I will use the warbaits down in baja in the kelp.

I just got those and haven't had the chance to try them yet. I have been using weedless jig head of different brands but I see the ones Wade uses all the time and it seems like they just add a lot to the presentation. They are first quality construction.

why dont more stores carry them? i use an owner ultra head 3/8 oz with the paddlerz

Silbaugh4liberty · 10-23-2014, 12:36 PM

I sent a few of my pics using the zman paddlerz to their email yesterday and they responded a few hours later saying they're developing baits specifically for our fishery. They also said to let them know what our favorite colors are of other manufacturers baits.

I got mine at Fisherman's access in Brea, but they only have a couple different ones. Same at The Longfin. Seems like online is the best way to buy them.

I'd like to get some zman streaks xl for some larger calicos, or maybe yt too! Probably going to get rootbeer and pearl.

The colors that do great for me are the new penny and the houdini. Maybe a nuclear chicken would be good too and an anchovy color too.

I told them that popular colors for calico bass is usually calico hunter, red calico hunter, toast, holloween, Christmas tree, and sometimes purple or pearl, as well as natural colors for sardine and anchovy.

Only used the Paddlez so far

Dennis Burlason and Ed Howerton who have won the SD Bay Anglers tournament 4 times like to use brown, green, and orange colors. They should know it aint luck when you win it 4 times.
