How to fish the Z-Man - PaddlerZ
Big Kev's Tips
How to work it
The PaddlerZ is a 5-inch soft plastic swimbait with a slender, segmented body and thin paddle tail that produces a subtle tail kick and side-to-side wiggle.
Fish it on a steady retrieve with 4/0-5/0 jigheads or weighted swimbait hooks; the naturally buoyant design allows lifelike presentation across the water column. Vary your cadence from slow, methodical pulls to faster retrieves-the lure remains effective at both speeds.
Use it as a twitchbait with sharp rod taps to trigger strikes, or work it as a swimbait in deeper holes and channels. The Pro-Cure Super Gel scent infusion adds attraction in murky water or low-light conditions.
Target snapper, flathead, mulloway, barramundi, and mangrove jack in saltwater and freshwater inshore environments.
