Zman Finesse TRD PB&J 2.75" stickbait

The Z-Man Finesse TRD 2.75" (8-PK) is a highly popular soft plastic bait designed for finesse fishing, particularly for use with the Ned Rig technique. Z-Man's Finesse TRD (The Real Deal) series is one of the most effective and trusted baits for catching bass and other predatory fish in clear and shallow waters.

Key Features of the Z-Man Finesse TRD 2.75" (8-PK) Bait:

1. Size and Profile:

   • The Finesse TRD measures 2.75 inches in length, making it an ideal size for smaller fish like smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, and even species like trout or pike.
   • Its small, compact size mimics the profile of a variety of forage species, such as small worms, insects, or juvenile baitfish, making it highly attractive to fish that prefer more subtle presentations.

2. ElazTech® Material:

   • The Finesse TRD is made with Z-Man's ElazTech® material, a proprietary, super-durable plastic that offers outstanding tear resistance and longevity. Unlike typical soft plastics, ElazTech is much more stretchable and durable, allowing the bait to withstand multiple fish strikes without losing its shape or effectiveness.
   • The ElazTech material also makes the bait buoyant, which allows it to maintain a horizontal presentation when rigged on a Ned Rig jighead. This is key for the finesse action that drives fish wild.

3. Ned Rig Application:

   • The 2.75" Finesse TRD is specifically designed for the Ned Rig technique, which involves a small, finesse-style bait on a lightweight jighead. This setup excels at enticing bites from cautious or finicky fish.
   • When used with a Ned Rig, the Finesse TRD offers a subtle, natural presentation with its floating action that mimics an injured or feeding baitfish or worm. This is ideal for sensitive fish that may shy away from larger, more aggressive lures.

4. Versatile Colors:

   • The Finesse TRD is available in a range of effective color patterns to match local forage or attract fish in different water conditions. Whether you’re fishing in clear, stained, or murky water, you can choose from colors like green pumpkin, black & blue, baby bass, and crawfish patterns.
   • The color options are designed to offer maximum visibility to fish while still looking natural and subtle in different environments.

5. Lifelike Action:

   • The Finesse TRD has been engineered to offer exceptional action in the water. The bait's slender body and slightly curled tail provide a realistic wiggle when retrieved, even with the smallest of movements. This is perfect for fishing in clear waters or when fish are hesitant and require a more delicate presentation.
   • It also works well on a slow drag along the bottom, mimicking the movements of an injured or slow-moving baitfish, which bass find irresistible.

6. Pack Size:

   • The Finesse TRD comes in a pack of 8 baits, giving you a good number of lures for your fishing trips. Due to the durability of the ElazTech material, these baits can last much longer than typical soft plastics, even after several fish bites and strikes.

7. Ideal for Finesse Fishing:

   • The Finesse TRD is perfect for finesse fishing, especially in tough conditions where fish are not actively chasing larger baits. The smaller size and subtle action allow anglers to fish more effectively during times when fish are more cautious or feeding on smaller prey.
   • It is commonly used in clear to stained water where a natural and quiet presentation is needed, especially when bass are targeting smaller baitfish or worms.

Ideal Use:

• Ned Rig Technique: This bait is designed specifically for use with the Ned Rig, one of the most effective ways to fish for bass, particularly in clear water or when fish are in a more passive feeding mode.
• Clear Water Fishing: The small size and lifelike action of the Finesse TRD make it perfect for fishing in clear water where fish are more likely to scrutinize lures.
• Targeting Bass: Whether you're fishing for smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, or even other species like trout, the Finesse TRD is an excellent choice.
• Subtle Presentations: If fish are not actively chasing larger baits or when they're more reluctant to bite, the Finesse TRD allows for a more subtle presentation, perfect for finicky fish.
