Product description
The 6.5" SMH WormZ from Z-Man is a finesse worm developed in collaboration with U.S. pro Brian ‘B.Lat’ Latimer. Its unique shape—featuring a slender, tapered body and a thickened tail—delivers an extremely lifelike action underwater. Made from buoyant and durable ElaZtech material, it’s the perfect choice for anyone looking for a proven and effective solution for challenging fishing conditions!
Advantages
-
Unique Action
The specially shaped body with the thickened tail end creates an extremely lively action even with the slightest twitches, triggering aggressive strikes from predatory fish.
-
Extremely durable and buoyant
Thanks to the 10X Tough ElaZtech material, the lure lasts significantly longer than conventional soft plastic lures and floats up from the bottom, making it more visible to fish and reducing missed strikes.
-
Perfect for modern finesse techniques
The worm was specifically designed for fishing with the Shaky Head Rig and, when paired with the SMH Jighead, forms a highly effective combination for success even in heavily fished waters.
Lure Techniques
-
Shaky Head Rig
Mount the worm on a suitable SMH Jighead. After casting, let the bait sink to the bottom and work it along the bottom with light shakes and short tugs. The buoyant tail floats seductively above the bottom.
-
Texas Rig
Thanks to its slender shape, the SMH WormZ is ideal for fishing in weed beds or around obstacles. When rigged with an offset hook, you can work it through dense vegetation with almost no snags.
-
Trailer
A real insider tip! The WormZ also works great as a trailer. It creates action even at the slowest retrieve and entices predatory fish with its extra movement.
FAQ
-
What makes the SMH WormZ so special compared to other worms?
The combination of its design by pro angler Brian Latimer, the buoyant and extremely durable ElaZtech material, and its perfect adaptation to the shaky-head technique makes it unique. It offers enticing action and durability.
-
Which color should I choose for clear water and which for murky water?
For clear water and when there’s a lot of fishing pressure, natural colors like Green Pumpkin or Watermelon Red are a safe bet. In murky water or under overcast skies, darker shades like Black/Blue or high-contrast colors like Junebug often catch the most fish.
-
Can I use jig heads other than the Z-Man SMH Jighead?
Yes, you can also use other jig heads with a matching hook shape and size. However, the combination with the original SMH Jighead is ideal, as both products are perfectly matched to guarantee the best possible lure action and a high catch rate.
- Super-strong ElaZtech baits are 10x more durable than ordinary soft plastics.
- ElaZtech baits are naturally buoyant and will float when rigged unweighted.
- The flexibility of ElaZtech assures life-like action that mimics natural bait.
- ElaZtech is non-toxic and contains no PVC, Plastisol or Phtalates.
- CAUTION: ElaZtech cannot be stored with any other kind of plastic baits. Please store them in the original bag or in a separate tackle box.
