Product description
The 5" FattyZ from Z-Man is a soft plastic lure designed specifically for finesse fishing for predatory fish such as perch, zander, and black bass. The secret to its success lies in the buoyant ElaZtech material combined with a voluminous body and a specially shaped tail. This combination ensures that the lure rises seductively off the bottom and plays lively at the slightest movementāan irresistible presentation for wary predators that can make all the difference on tough days.

Advantages
-
Buoyant ElaZtech material
The lure stands upright on the bottom, mimicking a bottom-feeding prey fish. This presentation entices even passive predators, as the lure can be sucked in effortlessly.
-
Extreme durability
The robust ElaZtech material withstands numerous fish strikes without tearing. Youāll catch more fish per lure, saving you money and reducing the need to replace it!
-
Unique Action
The bulbous yet flexible tail creates an interesting action even at the slowest retrieve. As it sinks, the lure spins, and when jigged, the tail wiggles conspicuouslyāperfect for attracting attention.

Lure Techniques
-
Carolina Rig
With this rig, the buoyant FattyZ is dragged weightlessly along the bottom. Itās the perfect method for covering large areas of water and presenting the lure inconspicuously.
-
Shaky Head
Mounted on a jig head, the FattyZ stands vertically on the bottom. With a light twitch or shake of the rod tip, the tail starts to danceāa surefire way to catch perch and walleye.
-
Ned Rig
Mounted on a light Ned Rig jig head, the FattyZ stands vertically off the bottom. With subtle twitches or simply dragged along the bottom, this subtle presentation is a real weapon when the fish are particularly wary.

FAQ
-
Which target fish is the 5ā FattyZ particularly suitable for?
The 5ā FattyZ is a true all-rounder. Itās especially successful when specifically targeting perch, zander, and black bass, which respond extremely well to the rising lure presentation.
Ā -
Which color should I choose in murky water?
When underwater visibility is poor, contrast is key. Choose eye-catching colors like āGreen Pumpkin / Orangeā or other high-contrast colors so the lure is more visible to predatory fish. In clear water, however, natural patterns like āCanada Crawā are often more effective.
Ā -
Can I fish the FattyZ without additional weight?
Yes, absolutely! Thanks to its heavy weight and the salt incorporated into it, the FattyZ can also be fished weightless (without a sinker) on an offset hook. It then sinks slowly in a spiralāan extremely effective method in shallow areas or over weed beds.
