Brilliant! Almost hooked myself last trip trying to twist the spring into that soft zman minnow. Thanks Tony!
You’re welcome Jeff!
Tony great video, wish I would have seen it earlier. My question has to do with tying a loop knot on a twistlock hook. It seems like half the time the twistlock gets in the way of the loop being able to do what it’s supposed to do. Also I think the twistlock rubs up against the loop knot causing a weak spot. Curious about your thoughts. Love your tutorials. Jack N
Which z man baits do y’all recommend for inshore reds
Hey Charles!
The Zman MinnowZ in the Houdini color is a great choice if fishing water that is a little murky or dirty
The 5″ Zman Jerk ShadZ in the Redfish Toad or Houdini Color are a good choice.
If sight casting to reds, I prefer a smaller bait such as the Scented ShrimpZ in the natural or footer/gold color.
Great tip Tony. Looking forward to trying this method as I love the durability of the Z-man products but I’ve found them more difficult to rig weedless and tend to only use them on a jig head.
Thanks Nick!
THANK YOU! I have been fighting with this for a while.
No problem Gary!
Like the durability of this soft bait. Tony’s tip works great. Thanks
Thank you for the great feedback William!
Hey Tony…….I’ve tried rigging Z-Man plastics on the twist lock, the Mustad Grip Pin and other hooks, including a couple made by Z-Man specifically for their plastics and have come to favor the grip pin hooks (both weighted and unweighted). I don’t fish with Gulp products which may be better suited to the twist lock models.
Hey Gary!
Yeah if you primarily fish with Zman baits it is probably best to use a hook that is easier, such as the grip pins from Mustad. I primarily use Gulp and switch to Zman if I happen to run out of baits.
Right, Tony….that makes sense. I’m playing with the new Texas Eye Jighead that just came out right now as another way to rig Elaztech. It’s a bit long for the MinnowZ but looks good with the DieZel MinnowZ. Will see if the fish like it tomorrow.
