Z-MAN Micro Shad HeadZ 3/16oz Glow 4pk

Z-MAN Micro Shad HeadZ | 3/16 oz | Glow | 4 Per Pack | Micro Swimbait Jighead for Small Shad Profiles | Bass, Crappie & Walleye | Low-Light & Night Fishing

The Z-MAN Micro Shad HeadZ is a swimbait-style micro jighead designed to pair with small shad-profile soft plastics — Z-MAN’s MinnowZ, Micro Finesse ShadZ, and similar compact swimbaits — for finesse swimbait presentations targeting bass, crappie, walleye, and other species that feed on small baitfish near structure and in open water. At 3/16 oz, the Micro Shad HeadZ is the heaviest in the micro range, designed for deeper water (10–20+ feet), current, and situations where the lightest micro heads lose depth control and bottom contact. The Glow color is a luminescent finish that charges under UV or white light and emits a slow green glow in low-light, night, and deep-water conditions where predatory fish use glow as a locating cue. 4 per pack.

Key Features

• Swimbait-Style Head Geometry — the shad-shaped head maintains a horizontal, nose-forward swimming orientation at all retrieve speeds; positions the soft plastic body in a natural baitfish posture that complements the action of shad-profile swimbaits; designed to load and enhance the kick of boot-tail and paddle-tail micro swimbaits
• 3/16 oz Weight — the deepest-fishing Micro Shad HeadZ option; maintains depth control in current and wind; allows efficient fishing in 10–20+ feet without losing the compact micro swimbait profile that lighter jigheads provide in shallower water; also effective for longer casts on ultra-light spinning gear where additional weight improves distance and accuracy
• Glow Finish — charges quickly under UV light, phone flashlights, or any white light source; emits a green glow in darkness that is visible to fish in low-light conditions, at night, and at depth where ambient light is insufficient for standard color-based presentations; particularly effective for walleye at night, crappie in pre-dawn and post-dusk windows, and bass under docks and in heavy shade
• 4 Per Pack — standard Micro Shad HeadZ pack count; rotate through multiple heads during a low-light session as glow intensity decreases and recharging is needed

How to Fish It

• Micro Swimbait Presentation — thread a Z-MAN MinnowZ or similar 2–3" shad-profile plastic onto the Micro Shad HeadZ; retrieve with a slow, steady swim at the target depth; effective along grass edges, points, and open-water baitfish schools for bass and crappie; the 3/16 oz weight keeps the swimbait at depth without requiring a fast retrieve to maintain depth
• Night Fishing for Walleye & Bass — charge the Glow head before each cast using a UV light or phone flashlight; fish along rocky points, channel edges, and transition areas in 8–15 feet; the glow head provides a target for predators using their lateral line and low-light vision to locate prey in darkness; retrieve slowly with occasional pauses
• Crappie & Dock Fishing — fish vertically under docks, bridge pilings, and brush piles in low-light conditions; the glow head attracts crappie and perch holding in shaded structure; pair with a 2" shad-profile plastic and jig slowly with short hops and extended pauses
