A Crab Bait That Actually Moves Like a Crab
Crabs swim sideways. Until the Kicker CrabZ, no soft plastic replicated that movement. The unique body design and ElaZtech buoyancy combine to produce a sideways swimming action that looks like an actual crab fleeing across the bottom.
Redfish eat crabs constantly. When they see something that moves like a crab and looks like a crab, they commit. The Kicker CrabZ triggers that feeding response better than other crab imitations because the action is right, not just the shape.

Sideways Swimming Action
The first crab bait built to move sideways through the water like a real crab. The body shape and ElaZtech buoyancy create this unique action.
Natural Buoyancy
ElaZtech floats slightly, so the crab bait does not drag on the bottom between hops. It rests with claws elevated, mimicking a defensive crab posture.
Hook Slot Rigging
The molded hook slot makes rigging fast and keeps the hook point tucked for weedless presentations over oyster beds and grass flats.
How to Fish the ZMan Kicker CrabZ
1. Rig through the hook slot on a 2/0-3/0 weedless hook
2. Add a small split shot or use an unweighted setup for shallow flats
3. Cast near oyster bars, grass edges, or dock pilings
4. Let the crab settle to the bottom
5. Drag and hop slowly, mimicking a fleeing crab
6. Set the hook on any resistance or line movement
