Z-Man has introduced an innovative addition to the fishing community: the FattyZ™. Crafted by notable angler Luke Clausen, a Bassmaster Classic and Forrest Wood Cup Champion, this 5-inch lure has been thoughtfully designed to cater to various fishing styles and techniques.
"When Bassmaster Classic and Forrest Wood Cup Champion Luke Clausen approached us with a new bait design, we listened," said a representative from Z-Man. Clausen's proposal aimed at addressing a gap in the market for a truly versatile shaky head worm, and thus the FattyZ™ was born.

The lure boasts a bulky body and a bulbous tail that floats off the bottom when at rest—thanks to its buoyant ElaZtech® construction. This unique feature makes it an ideal choice for power-finesse situations, where subtlety can often lead to success. "It's thick body and bulbous tail provides a prominent profile, while its deep belly hook slot expands rigging options and enhances hook penetration," the Z-Man representative added.

Available in several colors, including Black Blue Flake and Green Pumpkin/Orange, the FattyZ™ comes in packs of six, retailing at $6.79 each. Its buoyancy and ergonomic design make it a perfect companion for the SMH Jigheads™ in shaky head rigs. The adaptability of the FattyZ™ extends further, as it can also be Texas rigged, Carolina rigged, drop shotted, or even fished without weights.
Clausen’s innovative lure is recognized for its lifelike appeal and effective action in the water, making it a favorite among seasoned anglers. Additionally, its salt-impregnated construction contributes to its durability and longevity, ensuring that it can withstand the rigorous demands of fishing.
In summary, the FattyZ™ by Z-Man is not just another lure; it’s a versatile tool designed to meet the needs of modern anglers. Its durable construction and user-friendly design continue to prove effective in various fishing scenarios, solidifying its place in the tackle boxes of many fishing enthusiasts.
