Z-Man Mulletron™ Loose Body Swimbait
The Z-Man Mulletron™ Loose Body Swimbait is a hyper-realistic soft plastic designed to perfectly imitate finger mullet—one of the most abundant forage species found along the Atlantic Coast and throughout the Outer Banks. Constructed from legendary 10X Tough ElaZtech® material, the Mulletron™ delivers exceptional durability while maintaining its lifelike swimming action after repeated strikes from aggressive saltwater predators. Its rounded wedge-shaped tail produces a natural, strike-triggering swimming motion at any retrieve speed, while realistic gill plates, fins, and eye details fool even the wariest gamefish. Whether rigged weedless or on a jighead, the Mulletron™ is built to catch redfish, speckled trout, flounder, snook, striped bass, and more. Available at Frank & Fran's and ships nationwide.
