Z-Man soft-plastic baits and jigheads are quickly becoming the top soft-plastic baits for striped bass fishermen. They not only offer the incredible fish-catching action you expect from a soft bait, they are saltwater-tough and can take a beating from big bass and–it’s true–even stand up to bluefish teeth.
Check out this video of the 10-inch Z-Man HeroZ soft-plastic bait put to use on big stripers that were too fussy to eat live bunker (pogies). The injured baitfish action of the Z-Man HeroZ was more than the bass could resist.
Z-Man makes a range of soft-plastic baits suitable for saltwater species. Paddletail baits are one of the hottest striped bass baits around, and the Z-Man Mag SwimZ, a full-bodied, 8-inch paddletail swimbait, has a thin body that provides a lifelike wiggle while the super-tough ElaZtech material resists tearing. (If you’re looking for a mackerel imitation, look no further than “green lantern”) Combine it with a Z-Man 8/0 HeadlockZ HD jighead, and you have a striped bass bait that can withstand multiple big fish without having to be re-rigged.

I have been using the z man products for years. They are tough and have great action. I have used the z man for fluke and have outfished bait and gulp.I have caught strippers and heaven been able to reuse the same bait over again. The thing that really surprised me is how well they they holdup to bluefish.’.

Have used z man products for years while boat fishing for striped bass and always have them in my surf bag with jig heads while fishing from the surf
Would love these baits for all types of fishing.
I’m very interested to see how these stand up to the big bluefish. Cautiously optimistic.
I have now reached 71 years of age. I absolutely love fishing and (not for the lack of great effort) have only caught a Striper a few times in my life. Anything you can do to increase my chances will be greatly appreciated … Thanks so much for the opportunity to possibly increase my luck. – LOVE BRENT
I can see strippers caught on Z man
Your lures could be
Z-Answer to my striper
slump.
We are always looking to add to our arsenal of exceptional lures aboard Westport Point Fishing Charters’ Graceful Drifter.
Love ZMan stuff! Their original Ned rig (using their TRD plastics) are able to catch just about anything. Everything from Smallies and Largemouths, to Brook Trout, to even White cats and Chubsuckers.
Great video…very exciting footage to see “the eat”! Beautiful release.
Hoping my bass will do the same with your product.
Z-man looks real enough to eat
I need a good lure…one that catches big stripers in the evening surf…help!
Looks nice!
one of my friends gave me your product, works very well on stripers
willing to give it a shot in MV Mass!!
This would be a great addition to my tackle box. Pick me.
Always looking into new products. Thx for the chance
First time plug fishing this season and would love some new toys to try out and enjoy the catches

Send it my way fish on
So l’m standing on the shore of Buzzards Bay with my new surf rod and reel and l’m thinking what else

Stripers love em, I cant wait to see how these tough plastics hold up to some gorilla blues this summer !!!
Can’t wait to try them… Heard good things about them!

I love soft plastics but the big blues always destroy them. Would love to see how these hold up.
