Quick take
A 4 inch ElaZtech swimbait with molded hook slot and integrated dorsal fin for weedless rigging.
The DieZel MinnowZ is a 4-inch paddle-tail swimbait from Z-Man, made in the USA from ElaZtech soft plastic. Its molded hook slot and split dorsal fin let it rig weedless, so it can be worked through cover on a swimbait jighead or an EWG-style hook. Bass anglers in fresh or salt water can pick it for a lifelike swimming action at any retrieve speed.
Best for

Strengths

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.
