Z-Man SJS5-308PK5 Scented Jerk ShadZ – Sexy Mullet (5in)

Meet a lifelike, salt-impregnated soft jerkbait designed to tempt a wide range of game fish. The Z-Man SJS5-308PK5 Scented Jerk ShadZ mimics the erratic, darting action of an injured baitfish with a lively split-tail that pulses as it moves. This combination of motion and scent helps the lure cut through current and murky water while delivering a convincing presence below the surface or just beneath. Whether you’re fishing inshore flats, estuaries, or freshwater bays, this lure offers a compelling blend of realism, durability, and versatility that can adapt to different rigs and conditions.

Realistic motion and scent you can feel

The 5-inch Jerk ShadZ and its 7-inch upsized counterpart provide two effective profiles for both inshore and offshore fishing. The split-tail design generates unpredictable darts and subtle flutter on the pause, while the 100% natural Pro-Cure Mullet scent provides an inviting signature that predators can hone in on. The salt-impregnated body ensures the lure stays dense and sturdy even when the water is tough, giving you confidence when casting into current or stained water.
