Z-Man Palmetto BugZ

The Palmetto BugZ do float. They're made from Z-Man's proprietary material, ElaZtech. ElaZtech is a naturally buoyant material, so anything made from it will float. The exception is the ZinkerZ which are heavily salted so they'll sink. We add a little bit of salt to the Palmetto BugZ which can neutralize some of the buoyancy, but it is buoyant enough to stand up on any jig head or on any Texas rig set up when punching heavy cover. That's the advantage of Z-Man's ElaZtech baits. They're all designed to stand up so they'll get noticed quickly and soft enough to provide a lot of action without tearing apart like standard plastic baits. I hope this helps. We have a lot of information on our website including videos on most of our baits showing how to rig and fish them. The Palmetto BugZ are one of the baits featured. http://zmanfishing.com/cms/squad_zman_tv.html and look for the video of David Walker introducing the bait at the 2012 ICAST show.
