What is a Zucchini Broomtail?

Somebody for the love of god post a pic of a zucchini broomtail! I have a few jet heads and keep hearing the ZB is getting hit most of the time. Also, I have a cedar plug, plain wood no paint, is that something I should be tossi out this weekend on a 2.5 day trip? Any tackle tips would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

The one in the middle.

Zuker makes them. Charkbait sells them.

Most other shops do as well.

MOST PEOPLE CALL THE ZUKER GRASS SKIRTS A BROOM TAIL.

I believe the one with red is Zucker's version of a MX flag BT. A zucchini BT is green and white like a..... well like a zucchini. If your zuchinis have red on them you should get out the bug spray.

In my experience Zucchini is usually orange, green and yellow...just like a zuchini plant with a big blossom on it. Their orange does look a little red though..

I gues different manufacturers have different interpretations...

Broom Tails

Pictures on post #2 (middle one) and post #3 are good. They looks like you could sweep the floors with them. Same type of material, with light orange and a redish orange, yellow and green colors.

It is that tool every fisherman who chases Pelagics should not be without... Hands down killer along with the Natural Cedar plug standard length.

Cedar plug long.
Broom tail short.


Don't leave home without them.
