The popular range of Z-Man FrogZ has received a boost with the addition of three new colours – Beer Run, Gold Rush and Calico Candy.
Not only a favourite for saltwater barramundi, the 4” Hard Leg FrogZ and 4” Pop FrogZ are also impoundment barra favourites and dynamite on Murray cod and other larger surface feeding predators.
The new colours will also be available in the smaller Z-Man 2.75” Finesse FrogZ, a favourite for barra, mangrove jack, bass and other surface feeders that might prefer a more compact presentation.
Z-Man’s proprietary ElaZtech material has many benefits when it comes to frog profiles, including natural buoyancy to assist with keeping the plastic on top when weedless rigged on a TT ChinlockZ jig head, along with 10X Tough durability for simpler and stronger rigging, and a reduced chance of tearing the plastic on aggressive strikes and stubborn fights.
The super-soft and flexible material also encourages maximum movement and action, with the bonus of feeling realistic on the strike and clearing the hook easier for a solid hookset.
When it came to selecting new FrogZ colours, we worked closely with fishing guides and keen frog anglers to tick the boxes that mattered to them.
The Beer Run colour provides a pearl top for excellent visibility, with a clear belly and gold glitter for added attraction and strike triggers.
Gold Rush on the other hand is all about a solid profile, with its black body and gold glitter belly making it ideal for fishing low light, night applications and dirty water.
Finally Calico Candy is a red orange base to fire up the strike, loaded with fleck and glitter for added realism and a more natural appearance.
The 2.75” Finesse FrogZ rigs perfectly on a 2/0 TT ChinlockZ jig head, with the 4” Pop FrogZ pairing with a 4/0 or 5/0, and the 4” Hard Leg FrogZ a 5/0 or 6/0.
If you love your topwater fishing or you’re keen to give it a go, check out these new colours in three proven profiles and get those aggressive surface strikes happening.
