EZ Keeper Z incorporate unique, patent-pending keeper that is designed to securely hold all types of soft plastics, including Ela Ztech, Gulp!, and conventional soft plastic baits. The barbed, U-shaped stainless keeper clip allows for easy weedless rigging and ensures proper hook alignment for consistent lure action and hook sets, while minimizing tearing when used with more fragile non-Ela Ztech baits. Each EZ Keeper Z is built on a custom, super-sharp, heavy-duty black nickel hook and is finished off with a durable black paint coating on the weight to help maintain a stealthy presentation.
