Z-MAN MICRO TRD 1.75" GREEN PUMPKIN 8 PACK

The Z-Man Micro TRD 1.75" Green Pumpkin 8 Pack brings proven panfish and finesse tactics down to a size that crappie and other light-bite species can't resist. The TRD's distinctive crawfish-mimicking profile has become a staple for anglers targeting crappie, and this smaller iteration delivers the same strike-inducing design in a package that matches the natural forage in shallow creeks, reservoirs, and ponds where crappie hunt. Eight soft-plastic baits per pack mean you're stocked for a day on the water or ready to experiment with different presentations.

What makes the Micro TRD effective is the combination of its proven body shape, dimpled surface texture, and the buoyancy built into Z-Man's ElaZtech material. That buoyancy keeps your lure in the strike zone longer and gives you more control over depth, whether you're working a jig head slowly through vegetation or letting it suspend near structure. The Green Pumpkin color is a reliable choice for a wide range of water clarity and light conditions, blending with natural prey and triggering bites in both clear and stained water.

These baits work equally well for panfish beyond crappie—perch, bluegill, and other sunfish species respond to the TRD's profile and action. If you're sight-fishing shallow flats or working deeper structure, the 1.75" size gives you finesse without sacrificing durability. ElaZtech construction means these baits stay rigged longer than standard soft plastics, reducing the need for constant re-rigging between fish and keeping your time on the water instead of at the tackle box.

Frequently Asked Questions

What fish will the Micro TRD catch besides crappie?

The 1.75" Micro TRD is effective on panfish species including perch, bluegill, and other sunfish, as well as trout and smaller bass in the right situations. The small profile and natural crawfish shape appeal to a range of finesse-oriented fish.

Is Green Pumpkin a good color choice for stained water?

Green Pumpkin is a versatile color that works well across different water clarity levels. The combination of green and brown tones is visible in stained water while remaining natural-looking in clearer conditions.

How long does the ElaZtech material last compared to standard soft plastics?

ElaZtech construction is more durable than conventional soft-plastic baits, meaning the TRD stays rigged longer and holds up better to repeated casting and fish contact, reducing the frequency of re-rigging.

What size jig head should I use with the 1.75" Micro TRD?

While specific jig head recommendations aren't provided here, the 1.75" size is designed as a finesse bait, so lighter jig heads typical for panfish and crappie applications would be appropriate—check the manufacturer's guidance for optimal pairing.
