The Z-Man Scented Jerk ShadZ 7" is the XXL version of the acclaimed Jerk ShadZ range, specially designed for fishing for predators in both fresh and salt water. When only the largest fish count, this 17.5cm soft lure becomes your best ally to provoke violent and memorable attacks.
This large-sized shad imitates the voluminous prey that trophy predators feed on: large alewives, herrings, mullets, large-sized breams or small-sized carps. Its imposing and natural profile irresistibly attracts attention in deep, tinted waters, or during predators' intense feeding phases.
The Scented Jerk ShadZ 7" benefits from the revolutionary ElaZtech® formulation, an exclusive Z-Man superplastic that surpasses all conventional soft lures:
- Extreme resistance: this almost indestructible material withstands dozens of captures of large fish without tearing. Where conventional lures would be out of use after a few pike or large zander attacks, the Jerk ShadZ 7" continues to swim perfectly.
- Incomparable elasticity: ElaZtech® stretches up to 10 times its initial length without breaking, allowing for strong strikes even at considerable distances without risk of tearing off the lure.
- Natural buoyancy: unlike traditional plastics, ElaZtech® floats, which gives the lure unique animations in suspension, weightless or with light lead weights.
- Long-lasting flexibility: the material retains its flexibility even after years of storage, without hardening or deforming. The Jerk ShadZ remains as effective at the first throw as at the hundredth.
- Resistance to UV and heat: no discoloration or melting in the lure box, even when exposed to summer sun.
Each Jerk ShadZ 7" is infused with Pro-Cure® Super Gel attractant, a proven formula that significantly increases the number of bites and their quality.
With its 17.5cm, the Jerk ShadZ 7" positions itself as a lure specifically designed for large specimens. Its imposing size specifically targets large predators in growth phase or trophy fish looking for energetic prey. The streamlined body perfectly imitates the morphology of a pelagic fish, with a slightly hunched back and a rounded belly.
The split tail generates powerful and regular undulations from the slowest recoveries. Each animation produces water displacements that predators detect from afar thanks to their lateral line. The ElaZtech® gives the tail an ideal flexibility that creates a hypnotic movement even during pauses, the tail continuing to quiver under the effect of the current. Depending on the recovery speed and the chosen assembly, the tail generates varied animations.
