How to Rig & Fish ZMan Finesse, Hard Leg and Pop FrogZ

The range of ZMan 10X Tough ElaZtech FrogZ are deadly fished on the surface for bass, barramundi, mangrove jack, Murray cod and more, attracting explosive surface strikes. They are also an effective lure presentation fished sub-surface and as a spinnerbait trailer. In this video Justin runs us through the most popular methods for rigging and fishing the ZMan 2.75" Finesse FrogZ, 4" Hard Leg FrogZ and 4" Pop FrogZ.

Hi, great info. Just started using the Zman lures. Would be nice if the packets have some sort of info on the size of hooks to use.

[@RocketsFishingAdventures]

I agree Justin, the 2.75' Finesse FrogZ are great for creek bass. They are ideal for when there is surface debris or weed on the water that makes it difficult to fish with traditional surface lures with trebles. I rig mine on the ChinlockZ Finesse #1 as the Bass in my local systems tend to be in the smaller/mid range size, and I find the smaller hook gives them a better chance to hook-up on the hit. I don't go out on a Bass session without a couple of these in the tackle box.

Hey Rocket, thanks for sharing your small water / small - mid range bass rigging technique and good to hear the FrogZ are doing the job in your system. All the best with the fishing. Cheers, Justin

dose the 4inch frog flip itself over with the chin lockz. i’ve tried it with a standard weedless hook but i find it sits upside down

[@goodheart9209]

Thanks

[@PACK-ge5gu]

Any chance to link where you would get the hooks in the usa

[@UnstoppableAngler]

How much weighted hook can we use in 2.75 and 4 inch ???

[@tackletacticstv7687]

Hey @ananthmurphy8603, the 2.75" Finesse FrogZ will float a 2/0 TT ChinlockZ and the 4" Hard Leg FrogZ will float a 4/0 TT ChinlockZ. If you are buzzing them across the surface you can fish the weighted TT ChinlockZ SWS for a longer cast and just keep the rod and speed up to keep it on top. You will find these jigheads at tackletactics.com.au/TT-Fishing/Jigheads. Hope you get stuck into a few fish soon. Cheers, Justin

Where can i buy the chinlockz hook?

[@davidraguse2106]

What braid would you use and recommended leader for best presentation for jacks and give good odds of extraction

[@aussie_fishcatcha9583]

30 lb braid 30 lb leader

These Frogz are almost impossible to find in Canada.

[@seizedcarcass8440]

Ok so I live in the United States. Is there a way I can get these weightless chinlockz? I want some for my finesse frogz.

[@letsgonow5641]

They charge $8 for 3...Ill pass...

[@seizedcarcass8440]

@@letsgonow5641 they are a lot. I wish they were more available in the US and the price would be far cheaper

[@ThatGuy-sw2xe]

Any 3/0 EWG worm hook will work.

[@fishingsquad3673]
