Z-MAN TRD CrawZ 2.5in Green Pumpkin Orange 6pk
The Z-Man TRD CrawZ 2.5-inch soft plastic craw in Green Pumpkin Orange is a compact, buoyant baitfish imitation built for Ned-rig fishing—a proven technique that consistently triggers strikes from smallmouth and largemouth bass. This six-pack gives you enough crawfish profiles to rig up multiple jigs, experiment with different presentations, or fish a full day without reprising. The design features naturally buoyant claws that float upward at rest, mimicking the defensive posture a real crayfish adopts when threatened, which bass find irresistible.
Whether you're working shallow flats, rocky structure, or sandy bottom in a lake or river, the TRD CrawZ shines on a compact jighead. The lifelike profile and realistic claw action work especially well on pressured smallmouth that have seen countless standard worm imitations. The green pumpkin-orange color blend is a year-round choice that balances visibility in varied water conditions with a natural appearance. At 2.5 inches, this craw is sized perfectly for the Ned-rig bite—light enough to cast on ultralight tackle, but with enough substance to look legitimate to keen-eyed bass.
Z-Man's soft-plastic formulation holds up through multiple fish and casts, so you're not replacing baits after every strike. This is fishing tackle built for anglers who want realistic forage imitations that actually work instead of marketing gimmicks. Stock a pack in your Ned-rig box and in your boat—you'll reach for it again and again.

Frequently Asked Questions
What jighead should I use with the TRD CrawZ?
Z-Man specifically designed these crawfish for their ShroomZ and NedlockZ jigheads, both popular Ned-rig styles. The 2.5-inch size pairs well with light jigs in the 1/16-ounce to 1/8-ounce range typical of Ned-rig setups.
What fish does this bait catch?
The TRD CrawZ is built for smallmouth and largemouth bass. The realistic claw design and buoyant action trigger strikes especially from smallmouth in clear water and on heavily fished lakes where bass are wary of common presentations.
Why do the claws float?
The buoyant claws naturally rise into a defensive posture when the bait sits on the bottom, imitating how a real crayfish positions itself when threatened. This realistic movement is what triggers bass to commit to the bite.
How many baits come in a pack?
Each pack contains six 2.5-inch crawfish, giving you enough to rig multiple jigs or fish a full session without running out.
