While shrimp typically swim forward in a slow motion, they move backwards quickly in sharp, short bursts when frightened or chased--and nothing gets inshore gamefish fired up like the sight of fleeing shrimp! When rigged on a jighead, the TroutTrick JerkShrimpZ is designed to be fished with sharp, short jerks of the rod and allowed to settle to the bottom on a semi-slack line to mimic this frantic fleeing motion. This bait is also ideally suited for rigging on the EZ KeeperZ Weighted Hooks or similar swimbait hooks for shallow flats, where the naturally buoyancy of the ElaZtech material allows it to float off the bottom at a perfectly natural angle to trigger strikes from redfish, seatrout, and flounder alike!
