Z-MAN Finesse TRD2.75" PB&J
The Z-Man Finesse TRD 2.75" PB&J is a soft plastic Ned rig bait built on the proven 2.75" stickworm profile that has earned a reputation among bass anglers for consistent results. Whether you're fishing a tournament trail or your home lake on the weekend, this finesse bait delivers the subtle action and lifelike presentation that bass can't ignore. The PB&J color combines peanut butter and jelly tones—a proven pattern that works across a range of water clarity and seasonal conditions.
Z-Man engineered the Finesse TRD with their proprietary ElaZtech® material, a soft plastic compound that remains buoyant even when rigged on a jig head. That floating characteristic means the bait holds its profile and darts naturally on the fall, without sinking unnaturally fast or dragging the bottom. You get genuine action on every cast, not just a lifeless softbait hanging straight down. The material is also built for durability—10X Tough construction means the bait resists tearing and teeth marks far better than conventional plastics, so a single bait lasts through multiple fish and many casts before replacement.
Ned rig fishing has become mainstream among serious bass anglers because it works. The small profile and finesse presentation trigger bites from pressured or selective fish, and the Z-Man Finesse TRD PB&J is one of the go-to baits for this technique. It's equally at home on a 1/16 oz mushroom jig for shallow water or paired with slightly heavier heads in deeper zones. The 2.75" size offers a realistic forage profile without being oversized, making it an excellent choice for clear-water presentations and when bass are keyed on smaller meals.
