Z-Lures

The first three „Smiling-Bombs“ were born.

I built three poppers:
20cm/170gr
17cm/100gr
15cm/65gr

To paint my poppers, I have purchased a very basic airbrush set. I was quite happy with my first results.

These brown-perch style worked super well in Denmark!! We caught over 20 pikes with them, which made me suuuper happy!

My Z-Lures actually catch fish 😂😂

(ok...might also depend on the location 😉)

For my second trip to Denmark, I made three more lures:
- A super shallow running Jerkbair (Brown-Perch)
- A copper tail-bait
- A brown tail tail-bait for my fishing buddy

This was one of many jacks I caught in Puerto Vallarta.
This stickbait has a wide side-to-side movement right under the surface. During pauses, the head pops out of the water.
Super easy to fish!!

Z-Lure #0.4
This was my third floating stickbait prototype and the swimming action of this lure was spot on!

All of my future floating and sinking 17cm&20cm stickbaits are based on this shape.

Damn, this lure delivered in Mexico!!

Z-Lure #0.3 was in a „bloody“ redhead design. Again, I wasn‘t too happy about the swimming action.

Still, my friend caught a nice jack with it!
