Z-Man Rattle-Snaker

Fans of Z-Man ElaZtech® baits can now add another valuable trick to their angling arsenals.

The new Z-Man Rattle-Snaker is a tool that effortlessly inserts glass rattles or tungsten weights into the body of any ElaZtech or other soft plastic bait.

Adding the benefits of sound attraction to your favorite softbait, the Z-Man Rattle-Snaker implants tiny rattles in a quick, safe two-step process. Its patented tool design employs a precision stainless hollow needle for quick, easy insertion. Implant the needle into the chosen bait location—tail, head or torso. Next, “load the chamber,” sliding a rattle or weight into the hollow needle. Finally, engage the integrated pushrod, plunging the rattle or weight through the needle and into the bait.

In seconds, you’re locked and loaded with fish-attracting sound or added weight and it’s in there to stay. The added benefits of Z-Man super plastics include an ability to “self-heal”—even after numerous lacerations and hook stabs—and grip the rattle or weight for keeps.

Equipped with a surgical steel grade needle protected by a silicone needle guard, the Z-Man Rattle-Snaker works with all soft plastic baits. Packaged with 10 glass rattles, the Rattle-Snaker features a built-in storage for rattles or tungsten weights (coming soon.) Replacement rattle 10-packs are also available at www.zmanfishing.com.

Suggested retail is $12.99.
