Z-MAN Finesse TRD2.75" Green Pumpkin Goby

The Z-Man Finesse TRD 2.75" Green Pumpkin Goby is a soft-plastic Ned rig bait built for finesse fishing situations where bass need a compact, natural profile. This 2.75-inch stickworm combines Z-Man's proprietary ElaZtech® material with a subtle goby coloration—a proven choice for pressured fish and clear-water conditions. Whether you're targeting smallmouth on rocky structure, working shallow flats, or fishing tournaments where presentation matters more than flash, this bait delivers the kind of subtle triggering action that converts shorts into solid hook-ups.

What sets the Finesse TRD apart is its material composition. ElaZtech® isn't standard rubber—it's engineered to float on a Ned head, giving you a different fall rate and bottom presentation than conventional plastics. That buoyancy means your bait stays in the strike zone longer on the pause, a critical advantage when bass are following but not committing. The Green Pumpkin Goby color works across water clarity ranges, from stained reservoirs to clear lakes, and blends seamlessly with natural forage.

Durability is baked in. Z-Man rates ElaZtech® material at 10X Tough, meaning you'll get multiple fish per bait instead of shredding through plastics on every cast. That translates to real savings when you're burning baits during tournaments or long practice sessions. The Finesse TRD is a workhorse for anglers who understand that smaller, tougher baits often outfish flashier alternatives when fish are selective.
