Z-Man TRD Bugz 2.75"-Junebug

The Ultimate Ned Rig Creature Bait

The Z-Man TRD BugZ 2.75" in Junebug is a downsized, ultra-compact creature bait specifically designed for Ned rigs, drop shots, small shakey heads, and finesse jig applications. This ribbed, beaver-style bait combines the proven fish-catching profile of a defensive crawdad with Z-Man's revolutionary 10X Tough ElaZtech material for unmatched durability and action.

ElaZtech Material Advantage:

Constructed from Z-Man's iconic ElaZtech soft plastic, the TRD BugZ is 10 times tougher than ordinary soft plastics, meaning you'll catch dozens of fish on a single bait. The buoyant ElaZtech material creates a unique gliding action on the fall and causes the bait to stand up on the bottom in a defensive crawdad posture that bass can't resist. High salt concentration ensures that once fish bite, they hold on tight!

Key Features:

• 2.75" Ultra-Compact Profile – Perfect finesse size for Ned rigs, drop shots, and small shakey heads
• 10X Tough ElaZtech Construction – Revolutionary material that won't tear apart after a single fish, saving you money and time
• Ribbed Beaver-Style Body – Displaces a huge amount of water and creates vibration that triggers strikes
• Buoyant Material – Stands up on the bottom in a defensive crawdad posture that mimics natural prey
• Gliding Fall Action – Natural descent that triggers reaction strikes from neutral or negative fish
• High Salt Concentration – Fish hold on longer for better hook sets and more fish landed
• Junebug Color – Classic purple/black color proven effective in stained water and low-light conditions
• Designed for Finesse ShroomZ – Pairs perfectly with Z-Man's Finesse ShroomZ Jig Heads for the ultimate Ned rig setup

Proven Techniques:

Rig the TRD BugZ on a Z-Man Finesse ShroomZ jig head (1/6 or 1/5 oz) for the classic Ned rig presentation. Cast to rocky structure, grass edges, docks, and drop-offs, then use a slow drag-shake-pause retrieve along the bottom. The buoyant ElaZtech material causes the bait to stand up in a defensive crawdad posture during pauses, triggering reaction strikes from bass. Also deadly on drop shot rigs for suspended fish or small shakey heads for dragging along ledges and deep structure. The Junebug color excels in stained water, low-light conditions, and when bass are feeding on crawfish.

Target Species: Largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, spotted bass
