Z-MAN MicroTRD 1.75in Yoga Pants 8pk

Z-MAN MicroTRD | 1.75" ElaZtech Finesse Ned Rig Plastic | Yoga Pants | 8 Per Pack | Ned Rig, Drop Shot & Micro Finesse | Bass, Crappie & Panfish

The Z-MAN MicroTRD is the compact, finesse-sized version of Z-MAN’s TRD (The Real Deal) — a stick-style ElaZtech ned rig plastic scaled down to 1.75 inches for ultra-light presentations targeting bass in high-pressure, clear-water conditions and panfish, crappie, and perch where a standard 2.75–3" ned rig plastic is too large to consistently draw strikes. Built from Z-MAN’s proprietary ElaZtech material — 10x tougher than standard soft plastics, neutrally buoyant, and self-healing after hook penetration — the MicroTRD stands upright on a ShroomZ or Micro Finesse ShroomZ jighead in the ned rig’s signature posture and breathes and quivers in place on the pause without any retrieve input. Yoga Pants is a translucent purple/pink color with built-in flash. 8 per pack.

Key Features

• 1.75" Micro Profile — the smallest TRD in the Z-MAN lineup; sized for ultra-finesse bass presentations in heavily pressured water, drop-shot rigs targeting suspended fish, and panfish/crappie applications where a compact soft plastic profile produces more strikes than a standard-sized ned rig bait
• ElaZtech Construction — 10x more durable than standard soft plastics; self-healing after hook penetration; neutrally buoyant so the MicroTRD stands upright and quivers in place on the bottom between retrieve inputs; stays on micro jigheads and light drop-shot hooks without tearing after repeated strikes
• Yoga Pants Color — translucent purple/pink with subtle flash; a productive finesse color in clear water and high-pressure conditions where more natural colors have been thoroughly covered; also effective in early morning and evening when predatory fish key on pink and purple-tone invertebrate and baitfish forage
• 8 Per Pack — more per pack than larger TRD sizes; ElaZtech durability ensures each bait outlasts multiple fish before replacement is needed

How to Fish It

• Micro Ned Rig — the primary application; pair with a Z-MAN Micro Finesse ShroomZ (1/15–1/30 oz) or standard Finesse ShroomZ (1/10–1/6 oz) depending on depth; the MicroTRD stands upright on the mushroom head and quivers in place on subtle rod shakes; most effective in 4–15 feet on hard or mixed bottom for finesse bass in clear, pressured water
• Drop Shot — nose-hook on a drop shot rig for suspended finesse bass and crappie; the neutral buoyancy of ElaZtech allows the MicroTRD to hover at hook height without drooping; effective in open water over deep structure when fish are suspended and unwilling to move to the bottom
• Crappie & Panfish Jigging — fish on a 1/32–1/16 oz round ball jighead for crappie, bluegill, and perch around docks, brush piles, and submerged timber; the compact 1.75" profile matches the small invertebrate and baitfish forage that panfish target; ElaZtech durability means more fish per bait than standard crappie plastics
