Zman Diezel Minnowz Fishing Lure 7 Inch

Built to tempt metre-class barra, Murray cod and mulloway with a huge paddle tail, thunderous vibration and 10X Tough durability.

The Zman Diezel Minnowz 7 Inch is the extra-large paddletail for anglers targeting true trophies in rivers, impoundments and inshore reefs. It scales up the proven Diezel profile to move serious water, hold a stable swim at any speed and call predators from distance when big bait is on the menu.

A broad paddle and slim tail wrist create heavy thump, body roll and a visible wake that turns heads in dirty water and low light. Made from buoyant 10X Tough ElaZtech, it stays soft, lively and near-indestructible, delivering more fish per lure. The natural buoyancy adds a fluttering drop and stand-up pose on the bottom so the tail keeps working on the pause. A large belly slot streamlines weedless rigging and doubles as a scent cavity when you want extra draw.

Rig it on a SwimlockZ for long bombs and secure plastics or go weedless to probe timber, rock bars and heavy weed with confidence. If you’re hunting giants, this is the paddletail you tie on first. Perfect your presentation and stick your next trophy with certainty.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I choose the 7 Inch over the 5 Inch?
Use the 7 Inch when baitfish are large, water is dirty or you need maximum vibration and presence to wake up big predators.

What’s the best retrieve for barra and cod?
A slow-roll close to structure with pauses. Most hits come as the buoyant body rises and the tail keeps thumping on the pause.

Can I fish it weedless through heavy cover?
Yes. Rig on a ChinlockZ #10/0–#12/0 to slide through timber and weed with strong hook exposure and reliable kick.

What tackle suits this lure?
A 20–40lb outfit with a 4000–6000 spin or 200–300 size baitcaster, PE 2–4 braid and 40–80lb leader handles big fish and heavy terrain.
