Brilliantly imitating a tasty snack that inshore predators love to dine on, the Z-Man Kicker Crab Z are sure to produce bites from shallow-water gamefish along any coast. The Kicker Crab Z accurately imitates a sideways swimming crab, a favorite forage of inshore fish like redfish, speckled trout, flounder, snook, and many more. An anatomically accurate profile featuring a lifelike kicker claw, segmented legs, eyes, and antennae bring the bait life, while the streamlined shape and convenient hook slot makes for easy weedless rigging. Able to be fished in a variety of ways, anglers will find success hopping or dragging the Kicker Crab Z along the bottom or even swimming in through the middle of the water column on a straight retrieve. The supple yet extremely durable 10X Tought Ela Ztech construction allows for a lively free swimming action while greatly outlasting baits from traditional soft plastic materials. These versatile baits excel with a variety of rigging methods including on a jig head, Texas rigged, or with a variety of weighted swimbait hook systems.
