I think that's what you're looking for.

Awesome, thank you! I thought that was right but just wanted to double-check. I was meaning to ask them at Fred Hall but completely forgot about it until I got home.

I've never actually used them, but have stretched them myself. They are made of really good material. I have heard from a lot of people that the buoyancy can be a problem. Especially if dropshotting.

I feel the opposite is the case with ElaZtech buoyancy.
Almost all other plastic baits fall dead limp right to the bottom.
Z-Man’s baits remain lifelike no matter their application. The super stretchy ElaZtech material actually also makes their baits appear super lifelike and quiver upon the slightest twitch. Their buoyancy allows theirs baits to stand up off the floor and asks to be eaten! Their CrawdadZ claws stand up on their own begging to be attacked in a natural crayfish defense position, as well as all their swimbaits,worms & much more. Your dropshot baits will stand at attention at whatever water column you want to present and suspend your baitZ at with or without a weighted EWG or any of your preferred hooks/jighead.
Z-Man also has salt impregnated versions in some their extensive bait line ups to help in sinking/casting for subsurface applications like the ZinkerZ wormZ, Finesse WormZ, Palmetto BugZ, StreakZ XL & Scented Jerk ShadZ, ect..



"A plastic fishing bait is no good if fish can’t see it! Unlike other plastic fishing baits, ElaZtech is a naturally buoyant material that floats off the bottom and creates a more visible target. A more visible target means more strikes and more fish-catching opportunities. With traditional plastic fishing baits, this means going through a lot of soft plastics. ElaZtech baits, however, maintain their fishability despite all the abuse, and also boasts one of the highest fish-per-bait ratings in the industry. To top it off, ElaZtech,Xunlike most other soft fishing baits, is non-toxic and contains no PVC, Plastisol or Phthalates."

I heard great things about Zman products.



However, having a guy on one of the videos wearing the company shirt may not be the most credible source of info.



Like having a Chevy dealer tell you that the Camaro is the best car out there.

Hey Wade. Have you used the Paddlerz on a Sled Head. I just tried the Paddlerz for the first time the other day. Really liked them on the slip jig. But, with the 5" on a Sled Head I could not get the fish to stick. I probably missed 30 fish on the hook set. Just ended up with my pants being pulled down constantly.

I need to try these more locally. The gulp plastics worked a lot better for me in Baja. I hardly got any love at all.
