- Slam Shady 2.0 or Z-Man Slam Shady MinnowZ?
The Slam Shady 2.0 is a Salt Strong custom proprietary paddletail lure that is all white with grey specks and flash sprinkled throughout the body.
Z-Man also uses the Slam Shady color in their Z-Man Slam Shady MinnowZ paddletail.
The two lures are very similar in size and color but are best used in different scenarios.

Zmans are the best nuff said
The zman slam shady works amazing under moonlight. sparkles under the light. Love going out to anclote with these bad boys
Awesome! 💪
I’d fish either happily. Both good lures. If you aren’t catching, it’s probably not the lure.
Great analysis and tip Tony!!!
Thanks Pablo!
I got a sample pack of 7 slam shady paddletails. I had never used them before, we went out on the Indian River and on the First cast I had a trout, after that another trout and then a redfish. The remainder of the paddletails we're attacked and bitten in half. These things work there is no question about it. Next I'm going to order the bag of 100. With that set the z-man is also an effective product but not nearly the the bites I got with the Shady's
Here in Australia ZMan wins hands down just on availability .
So since the hook is completly through the bait when rigged How does the slotted belly help with hook ups necause of less plastic??
Exactly correct! There is less plastic between the hook shank and the lure which creates a wider gap for stronger hook sets!
Try the Core Tackle Hover Rig hooks with either of those baits. Amazing. You get great action and a soft plastic without a jig head in front. Having the weight inside makes them sink different too. I have been using Hover Rig hooks lately and I am impressed. Get the 1/4 oz if you want to use it with Z Man, I have the 1/8 oz size and I wish I had the 1/4. The 1/8 should be perfect for Slam Shady plastic unless you want to go pretty deep. You guys might want to sell Hover Rig hooks and the Tush swim bait hooks from Core Tackle. Matt Stefan invented them for bass and he has videos about them. I've caught trout, reds and stuff on them my first couple trips using them.
Thanks for the comment!
Hello, I don’t see the video with a truck on how to rig the zman on the twist lock hook
Hello. If you excuse me, I had a question. Which node do you recommend the most stable and fluid for surfcasting? thanks
Can you guys please do a 5 inch zman diezel minnow paddle tail and the 6 inch swimmerz zmans in THE SLAMSHADY COLOUR PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!!!!
Great video and explanation of the plastics and the weight needed to fish each. I wonder if it freaks the fish out with the bait swimming by with no head though? jk ; )
Thanks for watching!
Never caught anything on any salt strong lure or z man. DSL and egret wedge tails are my successful go to lures. Not sure what I’m doing wrong with the slam shady lures because they look awesome in the water
I wonder if you cut like 1/2 inch from the head and use this in lakes for rainbow trout. I wonder if it would work. What you guys think ?
Thanks for your question! Make sure to ask this over on the actual blog or in the Community

Have you found out whether or not the off white, Zman version of slamshady produces more strikes or less strikes vs the more white 2.0 version of the slamshady?
Have not! But we have several comparisons on our blog about colors. You can find them at www.saltstrong.com/fishing-tips/ then just use the search feature.
@@Saltstrong thank you
2.0 hands down. Not too keen on the white , the gold digger is where it’s at. I feel like the zman version doesn’t get as much distance on the cast
True facts! 💪
Main difference is 2.0 looks like a tampon was used as a template.
I never caught any kind of fish on any type of lures. No matter if it's a paddle tail , hard plastic, spoon, top water, or spinner bait. I've only caught fish on live shrimp that's it. Nothing ever works for me. Not even fishbites works for me.
Interesting. I used to be the same way. I live in Northern California where there aren’t that many sport fish species. I had been a religious bait fisherman for my entire life up until hi school I guess. That’s when I started using lures but I wasn’t very successful. I caught small rockfish here and there but nothing too special. Fast forward to today and now I am pretty confident that I can go out and catch a fish on a paddle tail. Last week I caught a 34 inch halibut from shore on a Strike King swim bait. You just have to put in the time. It’s all about experiments and experience!
If you cant catch fish on a gotcha plug there aint no fish there
I find the zman paddle tails to be pretty effective, but I notice that it can easily pull back on the hook, meaning that it isn't sitting up tight on the jig head, and there will be a 1/4inch gap or so. On some like the trout trick, it can slid down some off the hook on almost every cast. And yes I'm using zman jig heads, some with the chin lock, but still the same results.
