Z-Man Micro TRD 1.75" Finesse Stickbait 8-Pack

Z-Man Micro TRD 1.75-Inch Finesse Stickbait

The Z-Man Micro TRD scales the familiar TRD stickbait profile down to 1.75 inches for crappie, panfish, trout, perch, and bass. Its compact, dimpled body offers a simple finesse presentation when you want a small bait without extra appendages.

Soft, buoyant ElaZtech helps the bait lift off the bottom at rest, with the final posture depending on the jighead and rigging. The stretchy material also resists tearing through repeated bites. Pair it with a compatible Micro Finesse ShroomZ jighead for a miniature Ned rig. Each pack contains eight USA-made baits; jigheads are sold separately.

How to Fish It

Thread the Micro TRD straight onto a compatible micro jighead, centering the hook through the body so the bait sits without a bend. Choose a head weight suited to the depth and current, and keep the complete rig within your rod's casting rating.

For a miniature Ned presentation, cast out, let the jig reach bottom, and start with a slow drag followed by a pause. Add a tiny hop when you need to clear uneven bottom, then let the bait settle again. Keep the movements short rather than constantly snapping the rod.

If fish are holding above bottom, count the jig down to their depth and try a slow swim with occasional pauses. Watch the line during the fall and pay attention to an unexpected stop, sideways movement, or a change in pressure. Reel up slack and use a controlled lift when you feel the fish.

Check the bait after a bite or contact with cover. Straighten the body on the jighead before casting again so the small stickbait tracks cleanly.

ElaZtech Care and Storage

Keep the baits in their original packaging, separate from conventional soft plastics and other incompatible materials. Avoid prolonged heat and direct sunlight during storage. Let used baits dry before putting them away, and store them straight rather than compressed beneath other tackle.
