The Z-Man Kicker CrabZ are an excellent option for catching inshore predators in shallow waters. These soft baits accurately imitate the sideways swimming motion of crabs, which is a favorite snack for fish like redfish, speckled trout, flounder, snook, and more. The lifelike design of the bait with its segmented legs, eyes, and antennae brings it to life in the water. It also features a convenient hook slot for easy rigging without getting caught in weeds.
The Kicker CrabZ can be fished in various ways. You can hop or drag it along the bottom or swim it through the water column with a straight retrieve. The bait is made from supple yet durable 10X Tough ElaZtech material, allowing for a natural swimming action and long-lasting performance compared to traditional soft plastics.
The Z-Man Kicker CrabZ has won the ICAST 2022 Best in Category Award for Saltwater Soft lures. Its realistic crab profile and lifelike body details make it stand out. The kicker claw on the bait moves convincingly at all speeds, just like a real crab's trailing claw in the water. The design of the bait enhances casting distance and accuracy, thanks to its streamlined shape and keeled belly for stability.
This versatile bait can be rigged in different ways, including on a jig head, Texas rigged, or with various weighted swimbait hook systems. It works well when paired with Z-Man Pro BulletZ, SnakelockZ, and ChinlockZ jigheads, allowing you to use it in various fishing applications, from swimming on the surface to dragging it along the bottom.
