Z-MAN BIG TRD 4" 6ct Blue Claw

The Z-Man BIG TRD 4" Ned Rig soft plastic is built for anglers who want to scale up their Ned presentations without abandoning the finesse that makes this rig so deadly. Where standard TRD baits excel at trigger bites from keeper-class bass, the 4-inch profile of the Big TRD opens doors to larger fish—the kind that patrol deeper structure and aren't fazed by undersized offerings. You get the proven TRD body design that's earned a reputation among serious Ned Rig enthusiasts, now stretched to work harder for trophy hunters and tournament anglers pushing the limits of light-line tactics.

Z-Man engineered the Big TRD to deliver the same softness and buoyancy that make traditional TRDs so effective on a small jighead. That means natural fall rates, subtle action on the pause, and the kind of durability you need when you're working a rig hard all day. The Blue Claw color sits in a sweet spot—visible enough in stained water to attract fish, natural enough to match prevalent forage. Whether you're fishing murky reservoirs, creek channels, or anywhere bass hold in transition zones, this bait punches above its weight class without requiring you to upsize your equipment.

The 6-count package gives you enough to experiment with rigging options and have spares when aggressive fish bite through. This isn't a gimmick—it's a legitimate option for anyone who's mastered the Ned Rig and wants better odds against larger bass.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size jighead should I rig this with?

The Big TRD is designed to pair with light Ned Rig jigheads. For the most versatile presentation, start with the weight appropriate to your water depth and cover, typically in the 1/8 to 3/8-ounce range, though we recommend checking Z-Man's pairing guidelines for your specific conditions.

Will this work for smaller bass too?

Yes. While the 4-inch profile is built to attract larger bass and skip smaller fish, keeper-class and above will absolutely bite it. If you're targeting panfish or smaller streams, the standard TRD would be a better fit.

How many baits come in a package?

Each box contains 6 individually rigged-ready baits.

Is this good for tournament fishing?

Many tournament anglers use oversized Ned Rig offerings when they need to target quality over quantity. The Big TRD's proven TRD durability makes it a solid choice for all-day tournament application, particularly if your venue has larger bass and you want to minimize short strikes.
