Z-Man Scented PaddlerZ Baits feature a segmented body and thin paddle tail that allow them to be fished as twitch, wake, or swimbaits, on both fast and slow retrieve speeds. Perfect whether paired with a JigheadZ or a weighted swimbait hook, the PaddlerZ are ideal for inshore saltwater applications on either coast due to their subtle tail movement and wobble and scent impregnation. For freshwater anglers, the PaddlerZ are great for topwater applications like buzzing through the grass and are perfect swim jig or umbrella rig trailers.

  • 10X Tough ElaZtech construction for extreme durability, even in the harshest saltwater environments
  • Impregnated with 100% natural Pro-Cure Mullet Super Gel
  • Segmented body and thin paddle tail give PaddlerZ a subtle wobble on both fast and slow retrieves
  • 5 baits per pack
  • Made in the USA

great action

The scented paddlerZ have a lot of action, so they're perfect when the water temp is up and fish are feeding more aggressively. Added scent never hurts either!

I have these in the slam shady color. Killed it! It seems like this is the only one from the zman swimbait line that I can keep it straight on a jighead.

Don't let them sit

These are great lures with great action and an awesome scent. I use these lures for striped bass and blues in the back bay of New Jersey and they are also good for trout and reds in Charleston. The one problem with these lures is if they are left in your bag for a while they will begin to melt together, not from heat. I think it has to do with the scent because my other Zman products don't do this.
Pros
  • Action
  • Scent
  • durability
Cons
  • They will melt together if left in your bag

Hard to beat
January 20, 2020
Super soft but very durable - it’s hard to go back to other plastics when I have these as an option. Almost gel-like, much softer than most other brands but still more durable at the same time. Cold water doesn’t interfere with the action at all which is another advantage over some alternatives.
Pros
  • Soft, tough, great action

This soft bait creates the perfect action that snook, redfish, and specs cant resist.

Best soft plastics ever

I switched from Berkeley Gulp to Z-Man a few years ago. These baits swim great and are the most durable I have ever used. It is not uncommon to catch over 40 fish on one bait. In fact, on one bait I landed 132 fish before I had to replace it. Species caught on the Z-Man Scented PaddlerZ Baits by me include Speckled Trout, Red Drum, Flounder, Black Drum, Striped Bass and even some Bluefish. The price is right, they last and they catch fish. What more could one want from a bait?

Not just for fluke.

plenty of other species will hit these at different water depths like blues and stripers.
