Zman Diezel Minnowz Fishing Lure 6 Inch

Built to hunt Aussie barra, mulloway and big flathead with a thumping paddle tail, natural body roll and ultra-tough ElaZtech construction.

The Zman Diezel Minnowz 6 Inch is a larger paddle tail soft plastic for anglers chasing serious fish in estuaries, impoundments and inshore reefs. It maintains the proven Diezel profile—minnow body, thin tail wrist and oversized paddle—scaled up to move more water, cast further and call in trophies.

This model’s lively tail engages at the slowest crawl and holds true at speed, delivering constant vibration and body roll that predators feel and track in dirty water or low light. Zman’s 10X Tough ElaZtech is soft yet incredibly durable, shrugging off toothy hits and lasting multiple fish per bait. Its natural buoyancy creates a fluttering fall and a stand-up pose on the bottom, keeping the tail working on the pause and triggering reaction bites.

Rig it on a heavy-duty jighead or go weedless to slide through timber, rock and weed without fouling. If you’re stepping up to bigger prey, this is the confidence paddletail that sticks fish and stands up to punishment. Perfect your presentation and hook your next trophy with certainty.

Frequently Asked Questions

What retrieve works best for barra and mulloway?
A slow-roll near the bottom with occasional pauses is deadly. Let the buoyant body stand up and the tail keep working to trigger bites.

Can I fish it weedless around timber and rock?
Yes. Rig on a ChinlockZ or SnakelockZ #8/0 for snag resistance. The slim body and tail wrist let it kick freely even when weedless.

What rod and line should I use?
A 10–20lb estuary rod or barra stick 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 benefit me over regular plastics?
It’s softer and tougher, giving better tail action, far greater durability and a buoyant, natural fall that keeps the lure in the bite zone longer.
