The Z-Man TRD MinnowZ, also known as Rain MinnowZ, are highly regarded among Midwest Finesse enthusiasts like Ned Kehde. These baits have a slim profile that closely resembles various baitfish species found in both fresh and saltwater. They have a small flat tail that enhances their darting motion when rigged vertically. When oriented horizontally, this tail creates a gliding action similar to reaper-style plastics.
The TRD MinnowZ are made with salt-free ElaZtech formulation, making them incredibly buoyant and durable. They are perfect for bass fishing, finesse applications in inshore saltwater, and various rigging techniques. The slender baitfish shape mimics small minnows, fry, and other forage commonly found in freshwater and saltwater environments.
These baits are designed to be matched with Finesse ShroomZ, NedlockZ, and the new Finesse BulletZ jigheads for Midwest finesse style applications. They are also ideal for drop shot and split shot rigs. If you want to imitate small saltwater baitfish like anchovies, silversides, and glass minnows, rigging them with Trout Eye Finesse jigheads is the way to go!
