Elevate your finesse game with the Z-Man Baby GOAT, a 3-inch multi-purpose soft plastic designed for maximum versatility and impact. Featuring a unique twin-action paddle tail design, this bait delivers a hard thumping vibration and high-frequency water displacement at any retrieve speed, including on the fall. Its segmented, slightly flattened torso creates a realistic profile that mimics everything from crawfish to small baitfish.

Built with Z-Man’s legendary 10X Tough ElaZtech construction, the Baby GOAT is incredibly durable and naturally buoyant. This high buoyancy allows the bait to stand up on the bottom in a defensive “claws-up” position when rigged on a jig, or even be fished as a weightless topwater buzzing bait. Whether you’re a tournament pro or a weekend angler, the Baby GOAT provides the durability to survive dozens of catches while maintaining its lifelike action.

Key Features:

• Twin Action Paddle Tails: Incorporates the same curved paddle tail design found on other proven Z-Man plastics for maximum thumping action.

• 10X Tough ElaZtech: Offers extreme durability and buoyancy, ensuring the bait lasts longer and performs better than standard soft plastics.

• Versatile 3-Inch Profile: The compact size is ideal for a wide range of finesse applications and multi-species targeting.

• Buoyant Performance: Naturally floats, allowing for a “claws up” stance on the bottom or a surface-buzzing presentation.

• Multi-Presentation Rigging: Perfectly suited for use as a Ned Rig bait, finesse jig trailer, swimming grub, or trailer for the ChatterBait MiniMax.

• Proven Design: Part of the successful GOAT series, which also includes the 3.75″ GOAT and 4.25″ Billy GOAT for larger profiles.
