Lil Bat Ned Rig TRD Z-Man Style Floating Bass Fishing Lure

Here's the revised content with enhanced readability while maintaining the original meaning:

Our 2.8-inch Lil' Bat is similar to a Z-Man TRD "Ned" style bait. It features a floating plastisol that keeps the tail sticking straight up when dragged along the bottom on our Toadstool Ned Heads. The tickle tail will slowly twitch as the bait is dragged along the bottom or erratically popped and paused. Another popular technique, due to its "minnow" profile, is retrieving it like our phat swimmer swimbaits. All of these techniques provide the ultimate finesse application for aggressive or wary, uncommitted bass.

Our color selection allows the Lil' Bat to mimic a wide range of small, bite-sized forage species such as minnows, crawfish, helgramites, or gobies. We use the same soft, floating plastisol in our worms, which gives the bait a tail-up, nose-down feeding position as the jig head is slowly dragged along the bottom or popped erratically, making it irresistible to bass of any size. This technique works great when you need to fill a limit, get a bite, or when the fish are finicky and a downsized offering is required.

For optimal rigging, pair the Lil' Bat with a 6-foot-6-inch medium to medium-light spinning rod, a 2500 series spinning reel, and 12-pound braid to a 6-pound fluorocarbon leader. The ideal rig is on one of our 1/16-ounce Toadstool Ned Heads, with the tickle tail facing away from the jig head.

The ideal retrieve is either dragging the bait along the bottom, allowing the tickle tail to undulate vertically, swimming and mimicking a small minnow on a steady retrieve, or a pop, pop, pause, which will cause the bait to erratically dart up off the bottom and then lay still on the bottom again. The fish usually bite on the pause.

The Lil' Bat is a medium-durability bait that can last 3-5 fish per piece. Its body shape features a circular, rounded head that tapers into a pointed "tickle" tail. Like all our baits, the Lil' Bat is heavily scented with our Phat Juice, a craw/leech/shad combination, and it is made with American-sourced plastic, glitter, and dye, ensuring optimal quality, durability, and performance.
