Species Model Selection Guide

Need a hand selecting a soft plastic to suit a particular target species?

Here's a quick start guide to help get you started.

ZMan have developed and manufactured a comprehensive range of US Made, 10X Tough ElaZtech soft plastics to cover virtually every species, technique, environment, fishing system that revolves around soft plastics fishing in Australia... and probably some others ;)

The aim of this guide is to give you a basic starting point for selecting some popular models for a selection of popular target species, compiled with the assistance of our Pro Team around the country. You will find that each species may have a variety of model profiles and sizes to suit that species, so you may need to think about the environment where you are fishing and the bait that is available in the area.

In larger systems you may opt for the larger profiles in the selection guide, while in smallwater systems you may run with the smaller models. If there is a prawn profile in the list and also prawns in the system, and don't forget those FrogZ for some crazy surface action.

Remember this is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of models and as you wish to explore models or utilise these models to their fullest, utilise each model section on the website for catches and videos of rigging and fishing some models, along with the Rigging Guides and Tips and Techniques section of our website.

Fish on!
