WHAT IS IT?
Z-Man 3.25 TRD FattyZ
WHAT SETS IT APART?
Designed for simplicity, but abounding with versatility, the Z-Man TRD FattyZ works well in Ned, Neko, drop-shot, wacky or finesse Carolina rig presentations. The meatier head and torso section accommodates a traditional Z-Man Finesse ShroomZ head, a slightly larger NedlockZ EWG or a 2/0 Pro ShroomZ jighead. For amplified appeal, the Z-Man Rattle-Snaker easily injects rattle chambers into the TRD FattyZ’s plump tail section. Available in 10 finesse patterns, including laminate colors like PB&J and Goby Bryant.
HOW DO I USE IT?
Created from Z-Man’s resilient and naturally buoyant material, the new 3.25-inch TRD FattyZ presents a truly lifelike appearance by rising from the bottom to mimic the forage bass seek. When current washes the bait, its tail rises and ripples to present an active profile that entices those tougher bites. Meanwhile, a smooth, flat underside makes the bait spiral and glide on the fall, while a slender midsection creates a hinge that allows the bulbous tail to maintain constant motion.

ANGLER’S INSIGHT:
Z-Man put a lot of thought into the TRD FattyZ, so no surprise this bait offers a multifaceted potential. Along with the shape and dimensions, the bait’s material composition also factors into the game plan. Each bait includes a 25% salt solution that enhances taste and scent, optimizes casting weight and offsets buoyancy. Here’s the trick: Stretch the back half of the bait until salt grains emerge and you’ll increases tail buoyancy. The same process of salt removal can change front-end action. Essentially, with a few tugs, you can create a tail up or tail down appearance.
