Z-Man has been producing quality inshore terminal tackle for a while now. So they found it was time to upgrade one of their most popular offerings, the Trout Eye Jighead. The new and improved Trout Eye X Jighead comes with new X-factors such as a stronger, sharper, and more corrosion-resistant hook and color-boosted cosmetics. The Trout Eye X Jighead now comes with an exclusive 2/0 Mustad AlphaPoint 4.8 Tech hook, giving the Trout Eye X twice the strength and ten times the corrosion resistance of the original jigs. These new Mustad AlphaPoint hooks feature Titan Steel (tS) coating for a clean look as well as 500+ hours of corrosion resistance in saltwater. The AlphaPoint Tech makes for a slim but still durable 4.8mm hook point length that makes setting a hook a dream. The cosmetic changes include new upgraded 3D eyes that are prismatic to really draw in predators from a distance. The hard-wearing powder coat of all the jigs are going to come in vibrant and colorful options to make these jigs pop in the water. The eye-candy color combinations include red/gold eye, black/glow eye, pink/chartreuse eye, chartreuse/red eye, and pearl/pearl eye. Finally, there are a dual bait-keeper barbs that locks all soft plastics tightly in place for a seamless transition from soft plastic to jighead.
“We sculpted the new ‘X’ with the same super-balanced, bait-enhancing head shape as the original Trout Eye jighead,” notes David Fladd, co-owner of Eye Strike Fishing®, Z-Man collaborators on numerous elite jighead designs, including the 2023 ICAST award winning DieZel Eye™ Jighead.
