Z-Man has brought out another new high-quality soft plastic with their new 2-inch Micro WormZ. This is the latest addition to Z-Man’s Micro Finesse system is a lively little trout and panfish soft plastic, potentially even a Bait Finesse (BFS) bass bait. Made of Z-Man’s famous and super durable ElaZtech material, the plastic has a slender, segmented, tapered body with an egg sack molded in. The design and ElaZtech gives the Micro WormZ tons of life-like action, with a perpetually rippling tail even when at a standstill.
“It’s nearly impossible to stop the Micro WormZ from shaking its tail,” suggests Z-Man Brand Manager Ryan Harder, a confirmed crappie and trout sneak. “Grab the bait by its head and hold still. No matter how hard you try, the little bait’s wispy tail simply never stops quivering, vibrating, and breathing. Even when you try to deadstick it underwater, where micro currents continuously play across the bait’s body, the little WormZ keeps kicking, fishing almost exactly like livebait.”

The head of the Micro WormZ is a bit thicker making it easy to rig onto the Micro Finesse ShroomZ jigheads. The resilient ElaZtech body makes it perfect for single-hook wacky rigging or dropshotting. All the while anglers can fish without worry of the Micro WormZ getting torn up by fish. Even while being durable the worm gives unmatched action, soft texture, and lifelike buoyancy. While on a jighead the Micro WormZ the buoyancy of the bait lets the tail rise off the bottom and ripple in the current when the jig is at rest. Every bit of movement from the rod or line is imparted to the Micro WormZ’s thin long tail.
Harder discusses the bait’s on-the-water success: “In testing, we put the Micro WormZ in the toughest conditions we could think of—big selective stream trout—and it just kept getting bit, exceeding even our own expectations,” he explains. “Even when rainbow, brook and brown trout are focus-feeding on specific insect hatches, the Micro WormZ continues provoking strikes, because is simply looks and behaves like a living bite of food.”
The Z-Man Micro WormZ is available now in 10 staple color patterns, varying from bright colors or natural patterns. MSRP is $4.99 for a pack of 8 worms and these are available for purchase now.
