Built to move water and keep thumping at any speed without blowing out, the Octane MinnowZ™ combines a ribbed swimbait body with Z-Man’s exclusive SWAG™ tail for a hard-kicking presentation across a wide range of applications. In this video, Bassmaster angler Josh Douglas and Z-Man Director of Product Development Jose Chavez break down the design behind the Octane MinnowZ, how its hybrid wedge-and-paddle tail creates its distinctive swimming action, and some of the many ways to rig and fish it.

Made in the USA from 10X Tough ElaZtech®, the Octane MinnowZ features a solid ribbed body for added water displacement, lifelike detailing, and dorsal and belly hook slots for weedless rigging. Fish it on a jighead, swim jig, ChatterBait® bladed jig, umbrella rig, or weighted swimbait hook for bass, walleye, and inshore species. Available in 2.8-, 3.3-, and 3.8-inch sizes and 12 color patterns.
