Gear Review: Z-Man HerculeZ Swimbait

WHAT IS IT?

Z-Man HerculeZ Swimbait

WHAT SETS IT APART?

HerculeZ swimbaits are made with Z-Man’s proprietary ElaZtech construction, which ensures extreme durability and longevity, so each bait lasts longer. The 4-, 5- and 6-inch models are built with 5/0, 7/0 and 8/0 Mustad UltraPoint hooks, respectively. Correspondingly, 3/8-, 5/8- and 1-ounce zinc weights offer optimal castability and sink rates. Each includes a stainless ventral wire hook hanger for attaching a treble or stinger hook.

HOW DO I USE IT?

Some are built for show, others are built to go, and Z-Man blends the two with an impressive-looking swimbait designed to walk the walk and talk the talk. Indeed, the three HerculeZ models are designed with sharp features and the hardware to get the job done. An exclusive curved paddle tail design creates a lifelike swimming action, while 3D eyes and hand painted colors, along with ultra-detailed fins, gills and anatomy complete the attraction.
