The Z-Man Scented Jerk ShadZ are premium soft plastic jerkbaits designed to perfectly imitate the look and action of a real baitfish. Measuring 5 inches, these ultra-realistic jerk shads feature a salt-impregnated body that adds casting weight when rigged weightless and delivers a slow, natural sink that triggers aggressive strikes from both freshwater and saltwater predators.
Built with a split-tail design, the Jerk ShadZ produce an erratic, wounded-baitfish action that comes alive with every twitch of the rod. A molded hook slot allows for easy weedless rigging, ensuring clean hooksets while fishing grass, docks, mangroves, and other heavy cover. Whether fished weightless, on a jighead, or as a trailer, these soft jerkbaits excel in a wide range of fishing conditions.
Available in 35 proven fish-catching colors—from natural shad patterns to bold, high-visibility options like Bad Shad and Sexy Penny—the Z-Man Scented Jerk ShadZ come 5 baits per pack and are also offered in 3.5", 4", and 7" sizes. Durable, lifelike, and deadly effective, these scented soft plastics are a must-have addition to any serious angler’s tackle box.
