The Versatile Zman Bug Bait When the fishing gets tough, I turn to my trusty Zman Bug bait. In cold months, I use it in clear water and during a slow bite. In warmer months, I use it as a follow-up after casting other moving baits in the area. This bait is durable and can be rigged in multiple ways. My preferred method is using a weedless Ned rig jig, which you can find at the SOTY shop. If you're in search of an excellent finesse bait, give the Zman Bug a try.
