Description

A multitalented live shrimp clone, the Z-Man® PrawnstarZ™is exceptionally durable and perfectly balanced to maintain an authentic horizontal posture as the bait freefalls and when it sits on bottom. Designed for an array of inshore applications, including shallow sight-casting for redfish, drifting / freelining for seatrout, dragging bottom for flounder, plying oyster bars and mangroves for snook or simply fishing under a popping cork. The PrawnstarZ leans on an optimized blend of its durable, buoyant ElaZtech® body and precision-balanced weight structure to retain a natural, horizontal, shrimp-like posture at all times—rather than sinking head-first. For enticing underwater movement, the bait’s tail fan, antennae and swimming legs pulse, quiver and “crawl.” The PrawnstarZ’ abdominal segmentation further propels tail undulation, yielding unmatched live shrimp action. An internal glass rattle adds sound attraction, while 12 true-to-life, hand-painted color patterns authenticate the illusion. Armed with heavy-duty 2X strong 2/0 (3.5”) or 5/0 (5”) Mustad® UltraPoint® hooks. Extremely lifelike profile, legs, antennae and body detail Segmented body and upturned tail for natural movement 10X Tough ElaZtech® construction for enhanced durability Heavy duty 2X strong 2/0 (3.5”) or 5/0 (5”) Mustad® UltraPoint® hooks Offered in 12 highly detailed hand painted color schemes Balanced weighting for perfect posture on the fall and at rest Internal glass rattle for sound enhancement

Field Notes

This shrimp imitation is built for inshore saltwater presentations where a realistic, horizontal fall matters. It works well for sight-casting, freelining, drifting, dragging bottom, or fishing under a popping cork around oyster bars, mangroves, and shallow flats. The balanced body and tail movement make it a good choice when fish are keyed on live shrimp.
