Z-Man Swimmin' Trout Trick®
The Z-Man Swimmin' Trout Trick® combines the legendary ribbed body of the original Trout Trick® with Z-Man's exclusive curved paddle tail to create an incredibly lifelike swimbait for inshore fishing. Measuring 3.5 inches, this versatile bait produces a natural, undulating swimming action that consistently attracts speckled trout, redfish, flounder, snook, striped bass, small tarpon, bass, and other gamefish. Constructed from legendary 10X Tough ElaZtech® material, the Swimmin' Trout Trick® withstands repeated strikes while maintaining its action far longer than traditional soft plastics.
