Z-Man Elaztech 3" Minnowz - Hot Chartreuse

The Good: - Solid colors - More stretchy than other swimbaits - Tough - Realistic action The Bad: - Feels very sturdy like the paddle could be a little bigger to promote wider swimming action/vibration Note(s): The z-man minnowz is my favorite soft swimbait. It is very tough and can take a lot of abuse. It has a very nice stretch which reduces the chances of losing a tail on a short bite. Ran into a boil once and one of these lures landed me over 30 stripers and it was only a little tore up. This is worth the money, it will last 2-3 times as long as the cheapie soft swimbaits.

This is my secondary speckled trout lure, when the clear silvery versions don't produce. Occasionally, this is the only color and pattern that will produce. Very tough - will survive multiple fish. Highly recommend.

I have seen guides that swear by these in NC. I fished a river from sun up to sundown. Tried almost everything I had and got nothing. It was a bad day for all but one guy and he had one of these. Went to a George Pavaromo fishing similar. One of the speakers swore by them as well in the Roanoke river system for stripe bass.

Absolutely perfect on a chatterbait

Best soft plastic ever made. When fish will hit nothing else, they will hit this.
