TECHNOLOGY

*MZ-19(PAT.)

Japan is the birthplace of technologies and materials used the production of fishing tackle. In recent years, the metal, tungsten has become very popular in the manufacture of lures and terminal tackle though many of these produce are made with an alloy of relatively low purity. ZIPBAITS is a pioneer in the use of an extremely pure tungsten material known as MZ-19. The company adopted the new material for use in the main weight of hardbaits and as weights and sinkers for soft plastics.In hardbaits, MZ-19 tungsten enables a more central placement of the weight, impossible with other materials such as lead. Also unlike lead,tungsten does not leach into the water creating a health hazard for aquatic animals! Even if leat on the bottom,MZ-19 has been shown to exhibit very minimal iimpact on the environment.

*MAG-DRIVE(PAT.)

CONSTRUCTION of MAG-DRIVE The MZ-19 is a custom designed weight made of super hight specific gravity tungsten and is employed as the lure's main weight.The MZ-19 travels front to back on a bronze-bored center shaft which absorbs friction as the weight moves.

MAGNET A specially designed magnet is the core of this new system.though quite small,the magnet fits neatly within the chamber of the lure and accomplishaes its job well.Because of differences in lure action,however,the size of the magnet varies for jerkbaits and crankbaits.Sound is limited,of couse,to internal rattles or water action.

CASTING	SWIMMING
When the lure is cast,a specially designsd weight travels through the lure on a new wire-throughsystem.This produce long casts and chamber amazingly stable balance both in the air and in the water!	In the water,a apecial weight is drawn forward in the chamber on a tailored wire-through system.Our MZ-19 weight locks magnetically with a steel plate preventing unwanted movement andunpredictable action.As a result,erratic motion is aliminated allowing for a smooth,stable retrive.
