Z-MAN Graph ShadZ 3.8 in. 1/4 oz. – Tennessee Shad

The Z-MAN Graph ShadZ is a pre-rigged ElaZtech paddle tail swimbait on a lead head jig, ready to fish straight out of the package. The 3.8 in. body paired with a 1/4 oz. head is a versatile all-around swimbait for bass and walleye. Tennessee Shad is a classic natural shad color with a translucent body, subtle blue/purple back, and silver sides — one of the most trusted swimbait colors on Tennessee River impoundments and across the Southeast wherever threadfin and gizzard shad are the primary forage.

Key Features

• 3.8 in. ElaZtech paddle tail body — produces a lifelike swimming action at any retrieve speed on medium spinning or casting gear
• 1/4 oz. lead head — versatile weight for slow-rolling at depth, casting distance, and maintaining contact through the water column
• ElaZtech construction — 10x tougher than standard soft plastic; stays rigged through multiple fish
• Tennessee Shad color — a natural translucent shad pattern with a blue/purple back and silver sides that precisely imitates threadfin and gizzard shad; a proven confidence color on Tennessee River lakes, Chickamauga, Kentucky Lake, and reservoirs across the Southeast

How to Fish It

Cast and slow-roll along grass edges, channel swings, and open water on medium spinning or casting gear with 10–14 lb fluorocarbon. Tennessee Shad is the natural choice when bass are feeding on shad in clear to lightly stained water on Southern and Midwestern impoundments. Outstanding year-round on TVA lakes and major Southeastern reservoirs.
