The Z-Man TRD MinnowZ, also known as Rain MinnowZ, are a favorite among Midwest Finesse enthusiasts like Ned Kehde. These baits have a slim profile that closely resembles various types of baitfish found in both freshwater and saltwater. When rigged vertically, the small flat tail on these baits creates a darting action that attracts fish. When oriented horizontally, the tail provides a gliding action similar to reaper-style plastics. The TRD MinnowZ are made with a salt-free ElaZtech formulation, which makes them buoyant and durable. They are versatile and can be used for bass fishing, finesse applications in inshore saltwater fishing, and various rigging techniques. Their slim baitfish shape mimics small minnows, fry, and other forage commonly found in freshwater and saltwater. These baits work great when paired 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 mimic small saltwater baitfish like anchovies, silversides, and glass minnows, you can rig the TRD MinnowZ with Trout Eye Finesse jigheads.
