Quick take
Bladed swim jig with flat-bottom head and stainless blade for erratic side-to-side action.
This Z-Man bladed jig in 1/2 oz chartreuse white was developed with pro angler Brett Hite and Evergreen International. A flat-bottom, low-slung head and a thin stainless blade get it vibrating quickly with an erratic side-to-side wobble. The head is shaped to deflect off cover and skip under docks and overhanging trees, which suits anglers working shallow bass structure.
Best for
- Casting around docks and overhanging trees
- Deflecting off cover and shallow cover fishing
- Anglers who like blade action with jig profiles
Skip if
- You need finesse presentations; bladed jigs demand heavier cover
Strengths
- Low center of gravity head skips and deflects under cover easily
- Stainless hex-shaped blade provides vibration and flash
- Quality Gamakatsu hook and Decoy snap included
Trade-offs
- Larger profile not suited to finesse situations
- Blade action requires specific retrieve techniques to maximize
