Z-Man Scented ShrimpZ™
The Z-Man Scented ShrimpZ™ combines a lifelike shrimp profile, natural Pro-Cure® Super Gel scent, and legendary 10X Tough ElaZtech® construction to create one of the most effective shrimp imitations available for inshore saltwater fishing. Available in 3-inch and 4-inch sizes, this realistic shrimp stands upright thanks to its naturally buoyant ElaZtech® material, perfectly mimicking the posture and movement of a live shrimp. Whether dragged slowly across the bottom, suspended beneath a popping cork, or deadsticked in current, the Scented ShrimpZ™ consistently fools redfish, speckled trout, flounder, snook, tarpon, and other saltwater predators. Available at Frank & Fran's and ships nationwide.
