The Z-Man Scented Jerk ShadZ 6" is the perfect balance between size, realism, and versatility. With its 15 cm, this soft bait is targeted at anglers who want to target large predators without resorting to extreme sizes. Ideal in both fresh and saltwater, it proves lethal when fish are looking for substantial and energetic prey.
The 6-inch size perfectly imitates large baitfish that make up the diet of predators: bream, roach, juvenile alosas, herring, mullet or small carp. Its sleek and natural profile allows it to operate well both in open water and near the bottom, attracting the attention of both active and wary predators.
Big enough to select sizable fish, the Jerk ShadZ 6" remains easy to animate and perfectly adapted to technical fishing as well as more thorough explorations.
Like the rest of the range, the Jerk ShadZ 6" is made from the famous ElaZtech®, an exclusive superplastic developed by Z-Man, known for its outstanding performance:
- Exceptional durability: capable of withstanding numerous attacks from pike, walleye or bass without tearing
- Extreme elasticity: stretches up to 10 times its initial length, significantly limiting loss of lures during strong hook sets
- Natural buoyancy: allows for original animations in weightless, suspending or with light leads
- Durable flexibility: does not harden over time, even after long periods of storage
- Excellent resistance to UV and heat: no deformation or discoloration in the tackle box
Each Jerk ShadZ 6" is infused with Pro-Cure® Super Gel attractant, known for its effectiveness. This attractant stimulates the smell and taste of predators, encouraging them to hold the lure longer in their mouths, significantly improving the hooking rate.
The streamlined body of the Jerk ShadZ 6" faithfully reproduces the morphology of an open water fish, with a slightly rounded back and a rounded belly. Its split tail generates large, regular undulations from the slowest retrieval. These marked vibrations displace a significant volume of water, easily detectable by the predator's lateral line.
Thanks to the flexibility of the ElaZtech®, the tail remains active even during pauses, continuing to quiver under the effect of the current. Depending on the assembly and retrieval speed, the lure can adopt a tight, broad or erratic swimming motion, adapting to many fishing situations.
The Jerk ShadZ 6" excels in many approaches:
- linear retrieval in open water
- traction or zigzag fishing
- Texas rigging for cluttered areas
- sea fishing on hunts or to scrape
It is an excellent compromise for targeting large bass, pike, walleye, bass, or medium-sized catfish.
