Z-Man KC35-352PK3 Kicker Crabz 3.5-Inch Bloody Mary Sunday 3-Pack

Z-Man KC35-352PK3 Kicker Crabz: A Next-Level Inshore Crustacean Imitation

The KC35-352PK3 is a 3.5 inch sideways-swimming crab imitation in the Bloody Mary Sunday color, designed to bring a lifelike presentation to inshore fishing. This lure earned the 2022 Best in Category Award for Saltwater Soft Lures, signaling its recognition among anglers and manufacturers alike.

What sets it apart is a kicker claw that thumps on even slow retrieves, providing tactile feedback and an enticing target for redfish and other gamefish near the shallows. When at rest, the lure floats up into a naturally defensive posture, a subtle cue that can prompt an aggressive strike as it crosses a bottom edge, grasses, or a sloping shell bed.

Key features that anglers notice

• First-of-its-kind crab imitation that accurately mimics a sideways-swimming crab, ideal for varied presentations from surface glides to bottom drags.
• Realistic crustacean profile with segmented legs, claws, eyes, and antennae that invites fish to investigate up close.
• Angler-friendly design with a streamlined shape that boosts cast distance and accuracy; keeled belly aids straight retrieves, and a dorsal hook pocket supports weedless rigs.
• Buoyant, 10X Tough ElaZtech material gives the lure resilience and a natural defensive posture that stands up to stubborn bites and tough structure.

Rigging, retrievals, and fishing scenarios

Pair KC35-352PK3 with Pro BulletZ, SnakelockZ, or ChinlockZ jigheads to tailor the lure to your target species and water depth. Its flexible profile supports surface sweeps, midwater swims, and bottom bouncing depending on current and cover.

• Surface or subsurface presentations with a steady cadence that allows the kicker claw to thump and grab attention.
• Bottom dragging or weedless retrieves through vegetation thanks to the dorsal hook pocket.
• Precision casting into seams, drop-offs, mangroves, and grass beds where redfish and other species hunt.

Durability, color, and in-the-field reality

The Bloody Mary Sunday color delivers a high-visibility silhouette in stained or murky water, while the ElaZtech formula provides buoyancy and durability that anglers rely on over multiple trips. This lure is designed for real-world conditions, not just shelf talk.
