Overview
Taking Ned rigs to a new level, the Z-Man Mag Shroomz allows anglers the utilize the finesse presentation of a Ned rig with an upsized profile to target bigger fish. Built around a custom 6/0 wide gap hook to accommodate larger soft plastics, the Z-Man Mag Shroomz is molded with Z-Man’s classic mushroom head design, which is the preferred shape of Ned-rig enthusiasts for traversing over all types of terrain without getting snagged and keeping your bait pointed in an upward position to tempt finicky fish into biting. This design also allows anglers to use baitcasting equipment and heavier tackle without having to worry about bending the hook out or losing fish during the fight. Complete with a welded wire bait keeper that provides a firm grip on plastics, the Z-Man Mag Shroomz is the perfect way to fish bigger baits on a Ned rig.

Comments: I have one sandy-bottom pond near me that has little to no vegetation, so I have been looking forward to trying these with their exposed hook over my usual setup of a Bang StickZ on an Owner Ultrahead shaky head. Works as advertised and the hook keeper works very well with elaztec products. Strong hook too, so feel free to abandon the finesse hooksets and lean into it. My only criticism is that it is not a sealed eye, so my 20lb braid does get caught/pinched to the back of the eyelet on occasion. Not a big deal to stop and retie when that happens, but I know there will be a day when I break off on a fish and I am going to wonder if that was the cause.

Comments: Amazing. Paired with the Z-Man Giant TRD and the combo just slays. You'll definitely want a heavy power rod to really jack this hook. It's extremely sharp, and very stout. I'll definitely be buying more!
