7 ElaZtech HACKS

Спорт

Stretching the boundaries of angling possibility, Z-Man’s space-alien softbait material exhibits some weird and wonderful properties. 10X Tough ElaZtech is softer and more lively, but also tougher than any other soft plastic bait. As a result, smart anglers have cultivated a collection of super cool, often surprising bait-rigging hacks.

    I lock plastics on jig heads using an L-shaped piece of floral wire attached to and under the line tie. It doesn't damage the lure like glue when you want to change designs and the lure can be used far more many times. The wire is good for any size plastic and doesn't affect the strike.

    I'm a huge Zman fan!!!!! I've got just about everything I need to go out and catch anything I want. My favorite method I use is the elaztech over the eye. Even on the new Zman Micro Shad Fryz. I don't like to use super glue. I've experienced that finicky fish seem to detect the oder of the glue and won't bite. I do use fish attractants but not to attract fish,... more like to mask my scent or anything I may have on my hands. I will use spike it to get a better presentation but not all the time. There's times you have to be careful. You can over do a situation. Stick with Zman products, you won't go wrong!

    Insert the hook point into the tip of the bait (where you'd put the screw lock) so you make a channel (think pre-drilling in woodworking). Then remove the hook tip and put the screw lock in. It'll go in much easier if you make that hole first.

    My one and only issue with elaztech is with Texas rigging. I find it difficult to texpose the hook to truly make it weedless. If i go over keeper it doesnt release properly. If i go too little it just comes out and the point catches grass/wood. Anyone else have this issue? Any thoughts on how to handle this?

  • @ZManFishingProducts

    When Texas-rigging, you can bury the point in the material. The good thing about ElaZtech is it's still soft enough that the hook will penetrate through when bit.

    Great Video. My PROPOSAL for a New Z-Man Bait to Target Pompano! DESCRIPTION: Change your "Z-Man Micro TRD Chartreuse Yellow" to be half Bright Yellow & Half Hot Pink. Add some tiny lumps in the exterior of the soft plastic to mimic a cluster of Sand Flea Eggs (Bright Orange). Z-Man may even make the overall shape the Scented Bait to look somewhat like a Sand Flea. Finally, the New Z-Man Pompano Candy comes with "Embedded", Weighted, smaller Jighead hooks to make rigging faster. This new Z-Man Bait targets Pompano & Flounder! If Z-Man "Likes" my Proposal, pls send me some samples & a Z-Man T-Shirt size "large". Best Wishes & Much Success to Z-Man in 2023-24!
