Great vid. Zman when rigged and used properly are killers. The gap in the top fin is a great place for procure or other scents!

Not gonna lie, rigging these zman on a normal jighead is a pain. I simply use a texas jig or weedless weighted hook.

A cool tip for you .. with the weedless .. instead of putting with paddle tail over the lead on the hook ..start like normal putting the hook point through the shad ... Bring it back out then insert the eye and then carry on hooking up as normal

why do i feel like on that weedless weighted hook setup there is not enough gap for the fish to actually push the bait down and get hooked, doesnt there have to be a pretty large gap so the plastic can be bent down far enough to actually penetrate the fishs' mouth? i dont really know but that seems quite shallow for a gap

I saw you wrote that the grip pin is a 3/0. What weight do you use? I'd like a slow sink, but with the buoyant elaztech, I'm concerned the 1/16 or 1/8 would float. If you throw the 5" diezel minnowz, I'm looking for hook size and weight recommendations for that as well. Thanks.
@Saltstrong
4 жыл бұрын
All depends on the depth that you'll be targeting... get multiple weight options so that you can cover various depths. Given how much the 5" diezel minnow floats, I'd go with a minimum of 1/8th oz for the shallows (under 2ft), and then go with a jig head for deeper than that.

What size grip pin Hook is that, I have trouble finding the mustad grip pins locally but have plenty of gamakatsu weighted hooks. What's a good size to weight ratio for a 3- 3.5 " swimbait fished from 3' or less of water
@Saltstrong

That is a 3/0 sized grip pin. I like that size for pretty much all zman baits I've tested so far. But I don't like it for non-zman baits as described in this review: www.saltstrong.com/articles/mustad-grip-pin-hook-review/

@@Saltstrong yeah the 1/8 ounce is to light imo for those buoyant zman minnowZ/diezel minnowZ baits. The 3/16 is equivalent to an 1/8 ounce DOA jig head on a DOA shad tail.

I use the Gammakatsu Weighted EWG Superline Swimbait hook for Z-Man Swimmerz and they don't have the keeper that the grip pin does but they're very similar. When I pin the hook tip to rig it weedless like you did in this video by my 5-6th cast, the bait slides up off the hook. It's like the hook point gets pushed out by the elaztech due to the force of hitting the water every cast. Would you say that the bait needs to be taught or have a bit of play for it to sit in place? After a fish or two, I find the hole in the top of the bait gets bigger and more likely to foul mid retrieve. Any tips would be greatly appreciated, can't get the Mustad grip pin hooks in my areas.

Those typical worm style hooks do not work very well with zman baits. If rigging them on a weighted hook, my favorite is the owner twistlock once I learned this trick to make the rigging pretty easy on a spiral keeper: www.saltstrong.com/fishing-tip/rig-z-man-jerkbait-lure/
