Z-Man TRD CrawZ – Motor Oil

The Z-Man TRD CrawZ is a high-performing finesse bait that expertly resembles a crayfish, making it a top-tier choice for those looking to increase their catch rate with a realistic imitation. It is not only designed for Ned-rigging – a highly effective and now-popular finesse technique, but it also excels when used as a finesse jig trailer or even in saltwater environments to mimic fiddler crabs.

With its unique design, when the TRD CrawZ is crawled or dragged along the substrate, the bait's claws rise in a natural, defensive posture, effectively imitating the intimidation display common to real crayfish. It is highly recommended to pair this bait with Z-Man's Finesse BulletZ Jigheads for an ideal setup when pitching into heavy cover or fishing in complex structures.

At a compact and realistic 2.5 inches, the TRD CrawZ is perfectly suited to finesse applications. Its thoughtful design features include a tucked-under tail and a flat belly, both contributing to a appealing gliding action favored by finesse anglers. The size and motion of the lure make it a superb complement as a trailer for small, skirted jigs, like the Z-Man's ShroomZ Micro Finesse Jig, which further enhances its appeal to your target fish.
