Z-Man Kicker CrabZ – 3.5in – Houdini

The Z-Man Kicker CrabZ are a great choice for anglers looking to attract bites from shallow-water gamefish. These crab imitations accurately mimic the sideways swimming motion of real crabs, which is a favorite food source for inshore fish such as redfish, speckled trout, flounder, snook, and more. With an anatomically accurate profile that includes lifelike kicker claws, segmented legs, eyes, and antennae, these baits bring the crab-like appearance to life.

The streamlined shape and convenient hook slot make it easy to rig these baits weedless. They can be fished in various ways, including hopping or dragging along the bottom, or even swimming through the water column on a straight retrieve. The 10X Tough ElaZtech construction of the Z-Man Kicker CrabZ ensures durability and longevity, surpassing traditional soft plastic baits.

These versatile baits can be rigged in multiple ways, such as on a jig head, Texas rigged, or using different weighted swimbait hook systems. The Z-Man Kicker CrabZ has been recognized for its innovation, winning the ICAST 2022 Best in Category Award for Saltwater Soft lures. Its realistic crustacean profile and lifelike body details make it an irresistible choice for anglers.

The kicker claw of the Z-Man Kicker CrabZ produces movement at all retrieve speeds and even on the fall, imitating the trailing claw of a real crab as it moves through the water. Its angler-friendly design allows for easy rigging and enhances casting distance and accuracy with its streamlined shape. The keeled belly provides stability on straight retrieves, while the dorsal hook pocket enables weedless rigging.

Made from buoyant 10X Tough ElaZtech material, these baits mimic the natural defensive claw posture of a crab while outlasting other soft baits.
