bluebasser86 Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 The Finesse ShadZ is a really good bait on a scrounger head also. That thin little tail just snakes all over the place during the retrieve. I've had good success with the back half of a FattyZ also. I think the faster tapering end makes them fall a little faster and spiral a little more on the fall. Stinks you can really only use one half of them that is like that but they still last forever like the ZinkerZ.

Try cutting the fattyz along the hook slot, more or less up to where the hook slot begins. Can leave it as a twin tail or split it into more sections like a tube. Works well.
fishingaddiction Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 I think it would. Made some molds this winter for the doc, but have not poured many yet. There is a " finesse " zinkerz in process, for those who hurt themselves while cutting the full size I guess. Good luck on pouring your own docs. I would think an elaztech doctor would have more action and float up of the bottom, which would be good for the c rig. Born to Fish. Forced to Work.
fishingaddiction Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 bluebasser, Good info on the shadZ for use on the scrounger head. I have always used paddle tail swim baits for that set up. The shadZ would provide a completely different look. Born to Fish. Forced to Work.
Guest Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 I didn't think of the scrounger. It my favorite finesse chatterbait lure. Dave, can you show a photo of your modified Fatty Z?
dtrs5kprs Posted March 17, 2014 Author Posted March 17, 2014 Dave, can you show a photo of your modified Fatty Z? Trophy...I need to check on the other Q you sent me. Not sure if I have that combination.
