My phone in my pocket was totally soaked and the battery seemed dead, though for some reason the flashlight was on and wouldn't turn off. Finally, I shimmied up the ramp with some help and assessed the damage. I banged my knee hard on the ramp when I fell in, and as I struggled to regain my footing on the slick ramp, I had to pause for a minute as I tried to put weight on the knee. Not a moment later, I took a step and my feet slid out from under me, sending me crash down hard as I slid for what felt like an eternity into the warm, grimy water. We were fishing from a boat ramp when he warned me that the ramp collected a lot of algae and was super slick. And leave it to me to embarrass myself almost immediately. The next time I tried out the BugZ was also my first time fishing at Lake Sherwood, as I got invited by a member to fish the private lake. I arrived late in the day and only had about 45 minutes of daylight left, but I quickly hooked into three small bass before catching a nice crappie that must have weighed at least a pound and a half while fishing vertical to the shoreline in shallow water. The first time I tried this combo was in a pond on the outskirts of town that I had heard was really hot. The bait keeper and sickle hook on the jighead seemed to work well with the shape of the bait, and the weed guard was a nice little feature for late-summer fishing in the thick of it. Deciding to try something different with this lure, I tied on an 1/16th-ounce Eagle Claw Pro-V Weedless Finesse Jighead in green pumpkin/red flake instead of my regular ShroomZ mushroom jighead from Z-Man. I purchased the TRD BugZ in Green Pumpkin/Orange, a new color combo from Z-Man that is both eye-catching and fish-catching. In just two trips, I’ve already determined this is likely to be my go-to Ned rig bait for the foreseeable future. And, as it just so happens, it actually catches fish, too.Īfter what seemed like an eternity, I was finally able to get my hands on the new finesse lure through Tackle Warehouse and try them out. The pint-sized beaver bait measures in at just 2.75-inches long and comes six to a pack for $4.49, making it both economical and the perfect new Ned rig trailer for finesse anglers seeking some variety. Popular creature bait profile in a downsized 2.If you’re a frequent reader, you’ve probably heard me geek out about Z-Man’s new TRD BugZ bait that was debuted at ICAST 2019 earlier this summer.The TRD BugZ is equally suited for rigging on a ShroomZ™ jighead or a Finesse BulletZ ™weedless hook for dragging through cover. The ribbed body traps fish-attracting bubbles and provides an extra-soft feel, while its oversized appendages trigger bites as the lift off the bottom at rest. Taking a time-tested softbait profile, scaling it down to Ned Rig proportions, and building it from naturally buoyant ElaZtech® material results in a finesse bait that is a necessity for serious bass anglers.
