Zman Finesse TRD Black/Blue 2.75" Stickbait

The Z-Man Finesse TRD 2.75" Black/Blue (8-PK) is a soft plastic bait specifically designed for finesse fishing, particularly with the Ned Rig technique. The Black/Blue color combination is ideal for attracting bass and other predatory fish, especially in low-light or stained water conditions, where a more visible and contrasting color can trigger bites.

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

1. Size and Profile:

   • The Finesse TRD measures 2.75 inches, making it an excellent choice for targeting smaller fish like smallmouth and largemouth bass, or even other species like trout and pike. Its compact size mimics the profile of small baitfish, worms, or invertebrates, which are common forage for many predatory fish.

2. Black/Blue Color:

   • The Black/Blue color combination is highly effective in low-visibility water conditions such as stained or murky waters. The black provides a dark silhouette, while the blue adds a striking contrast that mimics natural prey and makes the bait highly visible to fish.
   • This color is particularly effective in dawn, dusk, or overcast conditions when fish are actively hunting and rely more on contrast rather than natural color schemes.

3. ElazTech® Material:

   • The Finesse TRD is made with Z-Man’s ElazTech® material, which is a super-durable plastic known for its incredible stretchability and tear resistance. This ensures the bait can withstand numerous strikes without breaking or losing its shape.
   • ElazTech also gives the Finesse TRD buoyancy, allowing it to maintain a horizontal presentation when rigged on a Ned Rig jighead, which is crucial for its finesse action that triggers bites.

4. Ned Rig Compatibility:

   • The Finesse TRD is specifically designed for use with the Ned Rig, which is a finesse fishing technique involving a lightweight, small soft plastic bait on a Ned Rig jighead. The design of the 2.75" Finesse TRD helps it stay close to the bottom and offers a slow, natural presentation that works especially well in tough fishing conditions.
   • The Ned Rig allows the Finesse TRD to present a subtle action that mimics an injured or feeding prey, making it perfect for targeting finicky or inactive fish that are less inclined to chase larger baits.

5. Durability:

   • Due to the ElazTech® material, the Finesse TRD is extremely durable. It can last much longer than typical soft plastics, even after several bites and hooksets, which gives anglers more value for their investment.
   • This durability is ideal for anglers who need to maximize the number of fish they catch without constantly re-rigging.

6. Versatile Action:

   • The Finesse TRD is designed to provide lifelike action in the water. Its slender profile and slightly curled tail offer a subtle yet effective wiggle even with minimal movement, making it ideal for slow drag or hopping along the bottom.
   • The bait’s buoyancy and unique design also help it stay upright on the bottom, creating a natural look and attracting fish from a distance.

7. Pack Size:

   • The Finesse TRD comes in a pack of 8 baits, giving anglers multiple opportunities to fish with one package. Since the ElazTech material is highly durable, these baits can last longer than typical soft plastics, providing even greater value.

Ideal Use:

• Ned Rig Technique: This bait is made specifically for the Ned Rig, a finesse fishing technique that uses small soft plastic baits to entice bites from bass and other species. The 2.75" size is perfect for bass fishing in both clear and stained water.
• Low-Visibility or Stained Water: The Black/Blue color pattern works best in low-visibility conditions, such as stained or murky water, where a contrasting color helps attract fish.
• Fishing for Bass: The Finesse TRD is ideal for smallmouth and largemouth bass, but can also work for other species that are attracted to subtle, slow presentations.
• Clear or Shallow Water: This bait excels in clear waters or when targeting fish that are feeding slowly or in shallow areas. Its small profile and subtle action work well when fish are less aggressive.
