Product description
The 5" ZinkerZ from Z-Man is a soft plastic worm that’s ideal for fishing for black bass, large perch, zander, and pike. Thanks to its unique ElaZtech construction, it’s not only incredibly stretchy and tear-resistant, but also buoyant. These properties, combined with the heavy salt impregnation, result in an exceptionally slow, enticing sink rate that virtually no predatory fish can resist.
Advantages
-
Extreme durability thanks to ElaZtech
The material is up to 10 times more stretchy and tear-resistant than conventional soft lures. You’ll catch more fish per bait, save money, and spend less time replacing them. -
Natural, slow sinking action
The heavy salt impregnation gives the bait extra weight for long casts and ensures a slow, horizontal sink—perfect for fishing it lightly weighted on a Wacky rig or as a soft jerkbait. -
Soft plastic compound ensures perfect action on many rigs
The soft, salted material allows for a perfect presentation on finesse rigs like the Texas or Carolina rig, where the lure comes to life with every twitch. The longer you fish the 5" ZinkerZ, the softer and “livelier” they become.
Rigging
-
Wacky Rig
Mounted unweighted on a hook in the center, the ZinkerZ sinks slowly while wiggling and, with light tugs, displays an irresistible action with twitching ends. This simple yet extremely effective technique is ideal for fishing along edges and over weed beds. -
Texas Rig
Mounted classically on a wide-gap hook, the ZinkerZ can be fished through cover without getting snagged on weeds. Thanks to its soft material, every twitch gives it a beautiful, lifelike action.
FAQ
-
Why is the ZinkerZ so stretchy?
The lure is made from Z-Man’s patented ElaZtech material, an extremely durable and flexible plastic. This not only makes it more durable but also gives it a unique, lifelike action in the water.
-
Which color should I choose?
For clear water and sunny days, natural colors like “Green Pumpkin” or “Watermelon Red” are ideal, as they realistically mimic prey fish. In murky water or under overcast skies, high-contrast colors like “Pumpkin/Chartreuse” often catch better, as they create a more distinct silhouette and are more visible to predators.
-
Can I store the ZinkerZ together with other soft lures?
No, absolutely not! The ElaZtech material reacts with conventional soft lures and can melt or deform. Therefore, always store Z-Man lures in their original packaging or separately from other softbaits.
