Didn’t want to hijack the other (good question) thread. 
 

how about it?   Too many appendages?  Not finesse enough?   I tried it once but they were biting another bait so well, I never gave it an honest try. 

Appendages? I think the Z-Drop is more of a X-tail bait. A friend swears by them, but I’ve never used them myself. I still use the Robo Sculpins or Fat 4-6” worms when drop shotting.

A z drop is a leach or half a creature style bait.  They work pretty well, and for nose hooking they arent bad cuz if you loose a bunch from catching smaller fish its no big deal.  Ive caught fish on them, but I like cross tails over z drops.  My buddy only carries a few bags of soft plastics on his boat and z drops account for 1/4 of his total baits.  He throws them on a SH the majority of the time, they pendulum back to you reel well on the drop.

Zoom z-drop used to be my goto dropshot bait especially “the green weenie”. I caught fish every time when using this bait but only last the best two fish.

I’m so sorry. I meant zman craws?  Two beers!  Lightweight.

I've never use it, let alone seen it. I'm striking out more than Jose Conseco these days. If it catches fish then, that's all that matters. Heck, I'll deep fry it, if it does the trick.
