Quick take
A small, durable salt-impregnated soft jerkbait with a belly slot for nose-hooking on a dropshot rig.
The Strike King 3X Baby Z Too is a 3.5 inch soft jerkbait in pearl, sold in a pack of 5. It is molded from stretchy Elaztech plastic and salt-impregnated so it rides buoyant with a tight shimmy. It is built with drop shotting in mind, where a nose-hooked rig keeps it hanging above the bottom for bass, and the molded-in belly slot also suits standard rigging.
Best for
- Drop shotting for smallmouth and largemouth bass
- Anglers who want finesse baits that withstand repeated strikes
- Light-wire dropshot presentations
Skip if
- You fish heavy cover or wood
- You need a large profile bait
Strengths
- Elaztech material resists tearing and degradation from repeated bites
- Salt-impregnated for added buoyancy and natural feel
- 5-pack provides quantity for an afternoon of fishing
Trade-offs
- Small size limits appeal to larger fish
- Drop shotting requires specific technique and practice
- Belly slot design restricts use to nose-hooking

About this type
A lure is an artificial bait that draws a strike with its shape, color and movement.
Each kind is built for certain depths and ways of fishing.
Weight decides how far a lure casts and what rod and line it needs; color changes how visible it is in the water.
