Z-MAN SJS5-230PK5 Scented Jerk Shadz Rootbeer Gold – Durable Saltwater Jerkbait

Z-MAN SJS5-230PK5 Scented Jerk Shadz Rootbeer Gold

Experience a super-lifelike, salt-impregnated soft jerkbait that delivers an erratic, baitfish-inspired action with a lively split-tail kick. The Rootbeer Gold color combines visibility with natural tone, performing across clear to murky water and contributing to a compelling presence on the water’s surface and below.

Built for durability and scent retention, the Jerk Shadz utilizes 10X Tough ElaZtech construction designed to withstand the demands of saltwater environments. Each lure is impregnated with 100% natural Pro-Cure Mullet Super Gel, creating a scent trail that can help fish locate the lure in busy or stained water and sustain interest through multiple takes.
