Z-Man TRD CrawZ – Watermelon Red

The Z-Man TRD CrawZ is a highly realistic lure that imitates a crayfish. It was specifically designed for Ned-rigging, but can also be used effectively as a trailer for finesse jigs or as a saltwater fiddler crab imitation. The bait's claws naturally lift it up in a defensive position when dragged along the bottom. It works wonderfully when paired with Z-Man's Finesse BulletZ Jigheads and is perfect for casting into areas with cover. The lure is compact and lifelike, measuring 2.5 inches in length and mimicking the appearance of a crawfish. Its tucked-under tail and flat belly create a gliding action that finesse enthusiasts prefer. It is also an excellent choice as a trailer for small skirted jigs like the ShroomZ Micro Finesse jig.
