Z-Man Palmetto Bugz Review

• Incredibly durable. Users say that thanks to Zman's ElaZtech material, you can catch 6-10 fish before you need to replace your lure. This of course saves time and money
• Stands up nicely on the bottom thanks to floating ElaZtech material. This draws attention to the bait and actually allows you to present the bait in the strike zone for longer. Many anglers have said that this had made it very effective when trying to catch pressured fish as it has provided them an efficient way to slow down their presentation
• Epic bait for a Texas rig and a Tokyo rig!
• Punches through cover very effectively thanks to streamlined appendages
• Very soft feel to this bait
• A simple but comprehensive set of color options for all water clarities
• Great value for money thanks to the incredible durability of ElaZtech

This bait has really risen to popularity in recent times and is starting to win some tournament's, even at the professional level. Palmetto Bugz offer everything you want from a pitching bait with the added benefits of a unique, floating action when sitting at the bottom and truly incredible durability. There is a lot to be said for a bait that will catch over 5 fish without any real damage, you save money and time allowing you to make more casts and ultimately catch more fish.

The fact that this bait floats at the bottom is also very powerful. Most people moving down a bank are throwing plastics that will sit down in the cover when not being moved. The Palmetto Bugz sits up above the sinker, making it stand out above the bottom cover. This allows you to fish the bait a lot slower as you do not need to make big movement to make your bait visible to fish. Many anglers credit this unique action for the bait's effectiveness in catching pressured bass that need something different to entice a strike.

Overall, if you are someone who spends a lot of time pitching/flipping, you should really give this bait a go. It is something different that has worked for many anglers so far and may just work for you.
