Q&A
The Z-Man® Hula StickZ™ is the ideal bait when finesse tactics are dictated by fishing conditions. Pair it with a light jighead—or Texas-rigged—and this buoyant bait will stand up on the bottom with tentacles dancing. The Hula StickZ is also designed for the "Ned Rig" technique, a Midwest-style of finesse fishing.
Highly effective, the Ned Rig fishing technique is centered on rigging small soft-plastic ElaZtech® baits on light jigheads. What makes this technique different from other finesse techniques is best observed under water. The ElaZtech material's buoyancy and softness cause the jighead and plastic combination to slowly flutter and dart towards the bottom, almost never failing to elicit a strike. Salt-impregnated ElaZtech construction for uncommon durability.
Ideal for finesse techniques, especially the Ned Rig technique
Buoyant, will stand up on the bottom with lifelike tentacle action

Smallmouth killerUsed this bait in Arkansas this past April and the Smallmouth love them. Material allows for catching many fish on a single bait, very tough and stands up to vicious Smallies with ease. Can't say enough about them, can't wait to try them on the Largemouth in my state. I'm sure they will work just as well.

Test Your Hula StickZ's Before Using ThemWhy did I give these baits only 2 stars ??
The advertised features of these baits is durability, and above all that they float. Not So. They are very durable and will catch fish. But the 9 packs of them I bought from Bass Pro in Nashville over a two week period Do Not Float as they are supposed to. That is 9 X 6 packs equals 54 baits . Of the 54, only 9 baits float as they are supposed to. Ninety percent of them go straight to the bottom and just lay there. Of the ones that do float, only 5 of them will support the tiny Gamakatsu Finesse Worm Hook , a tiny light wire hook. I have been using the Strike King Elaztech products and they preform flawlessly. The Z-Man
TRD Tubes preform very well and really catch the fish. Possibly in defence of Z-Man procucts, they just got in a bad batch of Hula Sticks. I suggest if you are using these baits, and expecting them to preform with a floating presentation test them first.
Z-Man Quality Control Guys, "Are you asleep at the wheel " ??

Weird?, Yes, but often effectiveBass today see so many lures and due to catch and release these fish tend to "learn" or at least become conditioned to avoid certain lures they are caught on repeatedly.
In some lakes I fish I actually see fish flee from spinnerbaits. This is just an example of the aforementioned point.
This brings us to finesse techniques, and more importantly, unique presentations. When bass won't seem to hit anything I will try a few different presentations and then if all else fails try the "Ned Rig".
This technique started with someone cutting a senko in half and rigging it on a jig head. Tah-Dah! Lame, boring, ugly, to the eye, but effective when fish are finicky.
I cut about an inch off the Hula Stik and rig it on a "mushroom" jighead and for whatever reason the subtle action produces fish when nothing else will. Go figure..
3 stars instead of 4 because I find this technique limited to certain criteria, but the product is phenomenal!

Z-Man Hula StickZI bought these last week and used them in a club tournament. The color I used was watermelon red. Put it on the Z-Man's FINESSE SHROOMZ jig head. I tossed it a played it and landed four largemouth bass and three calico bass. Great set you just have to try it.
Priced to go.
