Zman Diezel Minnowz Fishing Lure 4 Inch

Built to tempt barra, mulloway and big flathead with a thumping paddle tail, natural body roll and ultra-durable 10X Tough construction.

The Zman Diezel Minnowz 4 Inch is a versatile paddle tail soft plastic for anglers chasing larger estuary and inshore predators. Upsized from the proven 3" profile, it carries a longer, slimmer, deeper body that shifts more water, casts further and holds a true swim at slow or fast speeds—perfect for flats, channels, drains and rock bars.

A lively paddle tail and narrow tail wrist create constant vibration and body roll that fish can feel in dirty water and low light. Made from buoyant 10X Tough ElaZtech, the Diezel Minnowz is soft yet incredibly resilient, delivering more fish per lure. Its natural buoyancy gives a fluttering fall and stand-up pose on the bottom, keeping the tail working on the pause to convert followers. A moulded belly slot enables clean weedless rigging and doubles as a scent cavity when you want extra appeal.

Rig it on a heavy-duty jighead for open water or go weedless through timber and weed. If you’re stepping up to trophy fish, this is the confidence paddletail you want tied on. Perfect your presentation and stick your next metre-class fish with certainty.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the best retrieve for barra and mulloway?
A slow-roll close to the bottom with pauses. Let the buoyant body stand up and the tail keep working—most strikes hit on the pause.

Can I fish it weedless around timber and weed?
Yes. The belly slot makes weedless rigging simple. Use a ChinlockZ or SnakelockZ #4/0 to slip through cover while maintaining tail action.

What rod, reel and line should I use?
A 10–20lb estuary/barra setup with a 3000–4000 spin or 150–200 size baitcaster, PE 1.2–2.0 braid and 20–40lb fluoro leader covers most scenarios.

How does ElaZtech help compared to regular plastics?
It’s softer and tougher, giving superior tail action, far greater durability and a buoyant, natural fall that keeps the lure in the strike zone longer.
