It was an incredible discovery. While scouting on the Choctawhatchee Bay in Florida, veteran tournament bass angler turned saltwater fishing guide Bob Sanders stumbled upon a massive school of spotted seatrout. Bob made cast-after-cast with virtually every type of lure in his tackle box: topwater plugs, jerbaits, crankbaits, flukes, tubes, and more. Despite the thick school of fish, he averaged 5 or so bites per 20 casts.until he tied on the TroutTrick. Time and again, Bob got bit multiple times on every cast using the TroutTrick; if a trout missed the bait or got off, another one would grab it. It didn't take a rocket scientist to realize that he had stumbled onto something very special.
An already-legendary bait for spotted seatrout gets even better. The Z-Man ElaZtech Trout Trick is now made of Z-man's proprietary 10X Tough material, making it softer, stretchier, and stronger than ever. Like the original, the ElaZtech Trout Trick has a ribbed body that creates a vibration pattern that's uniquely appealing to trout, plus a long, straight paddle tail that waves enticingly on the fall. And that's the secret: pair this bait with a well-balanced jig such as the Z-man Trout Eye Jighead, and let it fall vertically on a slack line. Pop it a time or two, and let it drop again; trout will almost always hit the bait on the fall, as the tail is waving. Try it for other inshore species, too!
