      Z-man makes slam shady paddletails and they work great. Also their power prawn is the best shrimp lure I've used. C.A.'s beer run color is one of my favorites though.

      I'm not a huge Salt strong fan but that Slam Shady kills the reds down here in Texas, the elazatech, not the regular plastic! I should use zmanns other products, because they are a better material for all of the reasons you mentioned.

    Zman plastics will “melt” when you mix them with regular soft baits in a box. Just keep them in the bags you will have no problems and they are a must have for sure

      After opening a bag of soft bait I end up putting the soft bait and it’s bag into a zip lock of its own. Sometimes the oils leak out of the bait bags. Keeps your tackle box cleaner.

  • @vxmine

    I completely agree. As a kayak fisherman, I'm done taking loads of tackle just to only fish 2-3 lures. One box, 3 rods, and a few other small things. Keep it simple!

    Every time I hear someone talk about how they tried Zman lures and didn't like them, I compare it to using braided fishing line. When I first started with braid I had to learn some new knots, I had to manage my line differently. At first I hated it, but once I learned how to make it work, I realized how many benefits an advantages it has over mono. Zman is the same way,. You have to use some different hooks and rigging methods, but once you learn what to do it's amazing how much better zman lures work and produce over traditional plastisol baits.

    • @SaltySeaCaptain
      @SaltySeaCaptain ปีที่แล้ว

    I’m certainly a believer. It’s with your expertise that I used the power fishing method with the 4” diesel minnowz and a 3/16oz trout eyez and I’ve never had inshore success like this. Trout, and flounder have been my best but I’ve snagged a few puppy drum too. Just the other day I spent 8 hours on the water with one plastic and one jig head and caught 26 keeper trout. Many thanks for your helpful tutorials.

    I use to be a big doa , slayer fan for years. Started going to my local shop ( Betts fishing center ) and got to know one of the guys ( Jesse wright ) and he would joke around with me and say stuff like you need to try Zman you'll save so much money in the long run.
    Well , I decided to grab a pack of 3" MinnowZ in Badshad and pack of trout eye jigheads. Got a few solid snook on one bait , they didn't rip or get destroyed which was amazing and shocking. Fast forward a few years later I'm strictly Zman user now. 3" minnow is by far my favorite profile to throw. Because everything eats it small fish and the big fish. ( Like they say " elephants eat peanuts too " ) normally pair them with either a Swimbait eye or a weedless eye
    2nd profile would be the 4" JerkShadZ on a chin lockz or trout eye depending on the depth I'm fishing. The JerkShadZ has been a favorite bait of mine to toss in late fall and winter.
    I honestly believe the haters of Zman are truly talking out their rear ends. Best baits on the market imo

    • @flatsclasscharters
      @flatsclasscharters ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Ronnie- that depends on depth as well! But a scenario where you might have some decent current and 6’ of water 3/8oz works well. Whereas 12’ of water with current 1/2-3/4oz would be necessary

    I fish as much as I can, but honestly don’t ever wash my boat. I guess I do flush the motor and wash the junk off the inside floor a little bit but not too much on the outside since it gets just as nasty the next time I put it in in the water kind of like what’s the point
