Quick take
A small creature bait with buoyant material designed to stand up off the bottom on a ned rig jighead.
The Z-Man TRD BugZ is a 2.75-inch Ned rig bait built from ElaZtech, a buoyant soft plastic that lets it float off the bottom at rest. Its ribbed body and oversized appendages are made to attract bass in finesse setups around cover. It comes in a six-pack and can be rigged on a shroom-style jighead or a weedless hook.
