Z-Man Graph ShadZ

A Soft Lure Built for Live Sonar

The Z-Man Graph ShadZ is an approximately 9.5 cm soft lure that comes pre-rigged on a specialist jig head. It was designed specifically for use with live sonar technology, featuring a set of built-in details that produce a stronger, clearer signal on your fish finder. The better you can see your lure on screen, the more precisely you can work it - and that translates directly into more fish.

An Extremely Tough Body with a Few Tricks Inside

The body of the Z-Man Graph ShadZ is moulded from ElaZtech, Z-Man's exceptionally durable soft plastic material. It is extraordinarily stretchy and virtually indestructible as far as fish are concerned. The shad profile is highly realistic, tapering into a V-tail pintail combination that responds to the slightest movement and gives the lure a quivering, highly attractive action. The real secret, though, lies inside the body. Small internal air chambers generate a particularly strong sonar return, so you always know exactly where your lure is. On top of that, the signal is amplified further during the fall, because air bubbles cling to the scale pattern and only release as the lure sinks - letting you track its descent with precision.

Pre-Rigged on a Specialist Head

The jig head is every bit as considered as the body. To keep the profile consistent across the range, each weight uses its own metal alloy with its own specific density - the volume and shape stay the same regardless of weight, so the head always suits the body perfectly. To make it easy to tell them apart, the weight is stamped directly into the head. One glance and you know exactly what you have. You will also notice there is no conventional line tie on the front. That is because this is a specialist line-through jig head, with a dedicated channel running from top to bottom and the attachment point positioned on the underside. This arrangement ensures the lure sits at a perfect 90-degree horizontal attitude in the water - a perfectly balanced presentation that perch and zander find hard to refuse. To convert bites into fish, the head is fitted with a medium-strength 3/0 Black Nickel Needle Point hook. Ultra-sharp and robust, it hooks reliably and holds firm during the fight with bigger fish.

Not Just a Boat Option

Not everyone fishes from a boat, and not everyone uses live sonar - and that is no problem at all. The Z-Man Graph ShadZ is a highly effective lure even from the bank. The sonar-specific features are simply a bonus for those running live technology; the lure catches fish without them just the same, making it a strong choice for both perch and zander anglers regardless of how they fish.

Important: ElaZtech is not compatible with conventional soft plastics that contain plasticisers - contact with them will dissolve the material. Always store ElaZtech lures separately.
