Buoyant Plastics

[Puggz]

Looking for information on who makes buoyant or floating plastics.  I have found that the Havoc bottom hopper floats and I've had great success with it as a shakey hd setup.  Now I'm looking for something that either floats or suspends for C-Rigs in a larger profile like a craw, creature, etc.

Any ideas?

Any of the Kicker Fish Holeshot line and the Netbait Paca stuff all is buoyant.

X2 for anything made by Zman

My vote for Z Man also, great baits that last a long time.

Awesome!

You can always buy straight from Zman as well online if needed. But Zman for sure.

I have become a predominantly Z-Man user as of late myself for this reason. The floating action seems to work for me.

There are hollow-body minnows, buggy creatures, lizards, and tubes into which you can insert those widely available compressible foam earplugs to easily make those baits buoyant. You can cut smaller earplugs for less buoyancy. I can be more specific should you desire. But I think you'll figure it out. It's easy. Then, you can put any of the newly buoyant baits on a dropshot, Texas, Carolina, shakyhead, or ned rig or jig or use them as a floating teaser with another bait below that is "interested in" or distracted by the floating morsel. Or make a worm or lizard or some other creature buoyant so you can more easily fish it topwater.

And at the end of the day you can put 'em in your ears so's not to hear your loved one snore or complain (use fresh ones from the box fer yer own ears, please).

PS: Gene Larew Biffle Bugs and Biffle-O lizards have hollow pockets for buoyant foam earplugs. Strike King, of course has all kinds of ElazTech jig chunks and flukes. Also has the Zero worm, which gets buoyant after the salt is gone after three casts.

so do ALL zman baits float? I'm looking at their finesse wormz for shakey head. 

[jc68]

yes they all float

[The Fisher]

Hags Tornado floats and has great colors. I use them on drop shots and shaky heads.

Yup. These things float brand new. I was throwing a strike king3x worm weightless and it floated on the surface.

Berkley Havoc baits

Yep, I think all Z-man products float. If you want one of their baits to float really high, one trick is to stretch them out before you rig them up. The color might fade a little, but stretching them out allows more air to be trapped in the bait and makes them float like a bobber
