Beautiful Smallmouth Bass Snatches Z-Man TRD MinnowZ (Awesome Wisconsin Fishing!)
Z-Man TRD MinnowZ can be very effective on a wide variety of gamefish. I've used them to catch panfish like crappie and aggressive bluegill, green sunfish and pumpkinseed - even largemouth bass - but nobody seems to love 'em as much as Mr. Smalljaw!
Smallmouth bass are suckers for jigworms. Especially jig worms with scent and salt... which was what made this catch a little surprising. Z-Man TRD MinnowZ are just plain ElaZtech. They do not contain salt like the traditional TRDs or Hula Sticks - but they can still work well in different situations.
On this warm afternoon I was fishing the tail end of the Manitowish Chain o Lakes up near Minocqua, Wisconsin. We had fished for about 90 minutes with just a few tiny bites, and my son had broken his pole.
Well... I broke his pole when I was trying to snap his jig out of a tree he caught... but let's not point fingers...
We continued to finesse fish along a beautiful woody shoreline - and as you can see, while finesse fishing can be slow, it can also be very productive!
