What is it?
Z-Man EZ Tube
What does it do?
Classic soft plastic tube that imitates crawfish or other bottom dwelling critters.
What sets it apart?
The company’s renowned and highly durable ElaZtech material will last for countless catches. The material is tear resistant, and the rounded tentacles prevent them from sticking together, which improves the bait’s action. The buoyant material stands up when at rest, the salt-impregnated material produces an attractive spiraling descent. The bait is 4 inches long and comes in 10 colors.
How do I use it?
This style of presentation has been Texas-rigged for many years, and that’s still a great way to rig it today. But, in recent years as the Great Lakes smallmouth fishing has exploded, savvy anglers are rigging a leadhead jig inside the tube with the hook exposed to imitate the round goby—one of the most prominent baitfish species in the area. This bait is then slowly dragged over the shoals and reefs on the smallmouth factories such as Lakes Erie and Huron.

Editor insight:
Bass anglers worth their salt keep a healthy supply of tubes in their boats. Why Z-Man? These things literally last for a long time, rather than catching a fish and re-rigging, you can keep on chucking this tube thanks to the company’s highly durable ElaZtech material. The colors are great and the bait is dependable.
