Z-MAN Scented Jerk Shadz New Penny – 5-Inch Salt-Impregnated Soft Bait

Overview

The Z-MAN Scented Jerk Shadz New Penny is a highly lifelike soft jerkbait that combines a salt-impregnated body with a lively split-tail action. This design mimics erratic baitfish movement in both salt and freshwater, helping you draw attention from a wide range of predators without overwhelming your setup.

Key benefits at a glance

• 10X Tough ElaZtech construction delivers impressive durability in challenging saltwater conditions.
• Salt-impregnated with 100% natural Pro-Cure Mullet Super Gel scent for a natural underwater aroma that lingers.
• Split-tail jerk shad body with a dedicated hook slot for weedless rigging and solid hooksets.
• Size options and per-pack counts to fit different tactics: 4" (5 baits), 5" (5 baits), and 7" (4 baits).
• Made in the USA with quality materials designed for long days on the water.

Rigging versatility and usage ideas

• Rig weightless for a slow flutter you can swim along the surface, or use a weighted hook or jighead for bottom-bounced presentations.
• The 5-inch model excels for inshore species such as redfish, seatrout, flounder, and snook, while freshwater bass anglers may use it as a surface twitchbait or a drop-shot bait for big smallmouth.
• The upsized 7-inch version expands the search to larger predators, including striped bass, tarpon, snook, cobia, pike, and musky.
• When pinned to a heavy jighead for vertical jigging, it is effective for species like grouper, snapper, amberjack, and yellowtail, offering robust action and resilience against tough bites.

Quality and origin

Made in the USA, Z-MAN emphasizes durable materials and scent technology that helps sustain action across multiple casts and bites. The Pro-Cure Mullet scent embedded in the bait adds a consistent underwater cue that complements the lifelike movement of the lure.
