Thank you so much CA. I really appreciate your helpful review videos. Can’t wait to see the next one!

As capt I'd love to set on a boat and listen to him talk fishing can't imagine the knowledge he possess. Thanks capt CA

Thanks Capt CA. Great video.

Finally, z man does it again 🙌🏼

Although I'm a walleye guy, really love your shows especially the old Florida one...

Great hooks for sure. Its been a solid hook for me the last few months for the paddlerz and jerkshadz.

I like them wide gap hooks. That little plastic keeper is a great idea. Definitely gonna be getting a couple packs of those. Zman is big in Australia

Take my money! I'll be trying those as soon as we have seaweed floating around the Chesapeake Bay again. I just sent this video to my fishin' buddies and told them to watch you daily. I appreciate the information and lessons. Hopefully they will too.

Thanks for the share and loyal support of the channel

Gonna try this hook. Looks like a perfect marriage for the zman!

ID LOVE FOR YOU TO DO A VIDEO ON YOUR GPS/FISHFINDER AND EXPLAIN THE PROS AND CONS OF YOUR UNITS

Ordered some of these the other week from salt strong. Didn't even realize what the plastic piece was for. As much as I love the Salt Strong guys, you have pretty much gotten me to switch over to Z-Man exclusively. Checked out Sodium USA and their prices are the same as the insider discount from SS, ended up ordering a few more of the ZWGs. Thanks for that! As nice as these ZWGs are though, I really wish they had the plastic keeper in the Texas-eyed jig heads. That weight forward jig head does cast better than the ZWGs, Owner Twist locks, etc. Those Texas-eyed jig heads are my favorite for the Kicker Crab Z too, since the weight forward jig has them sit at a downward angle with that claw angled up. Thanks Captain CA!

@@flatsclasscharters I moved to Florida and am learning a lot of really good info from you. Thanks.

Love all of the videos!!! Can't wait for the in-line hook video (unless I missed it). I can't stand treble hooks!!! Have you ever done a walk through of your Buzbee gear??? I bought a colony starter pack. Love it. Just overwhelmed by all of my options. Need a little help from a pro!!!

Z man for the win 🎣

Been using the hoss helix weighted hook on a Zman jerk shad to catch flounders. Seems like every time I catch a fish I have to rig the lure again. I will definitely give this a try.

I promise you the terminal tackle designed by Zman works best for Elaztech baits hands down

Really excited about these new hooks! Zman is definitely setting the standard and paving the way for anglers. Thanks again Captain for a great informative video! If you’re reading this in the comments, Subscribe!!!!

Pretty cool CA ! But i gotta say BKK hooks have had this out for a few years and they work great! The BKK Titan Diver series which you can actually change out the weights on them in the larger size and they have the bead keepers. The other style is the Titan Rider ! Anyway just thought i would share but i know you are sponsored by Z-Man. I am sure the Z-man are cheaper as BKK’s are pricy but most of their hooks are hand ground !

From what I can tell the TitianDiver+ only have twist locks, I find those are a major pain to deal with when trying to get any Zman bait on those style hooks but I like the concept of being able to dial in the weight you want, that's pretty sweet!

Removable weight system is nothing new as Lunker City has done it for three decades. BKK hooks are unimpressive performance wise and frankly I'd rather not give my money to a Chinese government owned company.

I just got these hooks and I've been a Mustad grip-pin guy for a while. What I like about the ZWG's is they offer a 3/16oz weight, most brands jump from 1/8oz to 1/4oz and I find that in certain conditions that the 1/8 is to light and the 1/4 is to heavy...IMHO.

Great observation my friend

I fish the Z-Man DieZel MinnowZ baits every time I fish here in the Lower Keys. I lose the paddle part of the bait from short strikes after several casts usually. Gets expensive. Marking the weight on the weight is a no brainer even if it costs a little more.

@paulmoss7940

They catch fish without the paddle almost as good as with. At least off NC. That elaztech is tough stuff.

Will the 3/0 fit the MinnowZ without any trouble? Looks like a winner👍🏻

2/0 Chinlockz is better suited with 3” Minnowz

Would you give us a few examples of which size ZWG hook YOU like with various Z Man baits?

@flatsclasscharters

Bob- 5/0 for 5” Jerk Shad, 4/0 for 4” Diezel Minnowz 3/0 for EZ Shrimpz… hope this helps

Need a link taken out that watch

I like that bead to keep the bottom up

Yeah those Zman that are as jelly as jelly are difficult, for sure!

Are they in Australia

Ca Richards what size ZWG and weights do you reccomend for the Chatter Spikes?

@flatsclasscharters

7 ай бұрын

4/0 1/8oz

I use the Pro Bulletz, why should I change?

@flatsclasscharters

7 ай бұрын

Mike the Pro Bulletz is solid but gives you more of a weight forward presentation. The ZWG gives you a more level or horizontal fall to your presentation which in many cases is preferred

I'm excited about these, but BKK has used the silicone sleeve on the hook for a very long time. The angle of the BKK doesn't make it go "around" the hook but straight up... something ZMan needs to look at.

What do you use for fishing around oysters?

2/0 in the Chinlockz or 3/0 in the ZWG for 3” Minnow. The 4” Diezel I prefer the 4/0 ZWG in 3/16oz

I've used glow beads for that application for years!! Find the one that will fit the hook and let her eat!!

I’ve done that!

could that be an inline hook?

I like your videos but maybe if your can, when you are filming up close like your intro please try looking into the camera and not at the yourself at the screen in the camera. Eye contact in the camera make your videos more personal. It will take practice but it will make your videos better, trust me. Keep up the great info!

Bkk had that bead first

So this only applies to zman baits then? 100% disagree for anything else...Owner beast with the centering pin is the only way to go.
