A Soft Plastic That Acts Like a Hard Bait
The Razor ShadZ floats unweighted, which opens up presentation options that sinking soft plastics cannot match. Twitch it and the broad head dives down. Stop and it floats back up. This up-and-down action mimics a struggling baitfish and triggers reaction strikes from trout, redfish, and stripers.
Rig it weedless and work it through grass beds where hard baits would hang up. The ElaZtech buoyancy makes it a topwater option when fished slowly, or a subsurface darting bait when twitched aggressively. One bait, multiple techniques.

Float and Dive Action
Floats at rest and dives when twitched. This creates an irresistible up-and-down action that mimics a dying baitfish struggling at the surface.
Segmented Body
The body segments flex independently, creating lifelike undulation on the twitch. The forked tail adds subtle vibration.
Weedless Capability
The belly hook slot keeps the hook point tucked for weedless presentations over grass, oysters, and shallow structure.
How to Fish the ZMan Razor ShadZ
1. Rig weedless through the belly hook slot
2. Cast over grass beds, shallow flats, or near structure
3. Let the bait float on the surface briefly
4. Twitch the rod tip to make the bait dive
5. Pause and let it float back up
6. Strikes often come on the float-up phase
