FishLab BBZ Wake Rat

The FishLab BBZ Wake Rat is built to trigger instinctive topwater bites by imitating a panicked rodent skittering across the surface. It gives you a compact silhouette that still reads as a real meal to both smallmouth and largemouth, especially when the lake’s been pounded and fish have seen every standard look.

Designed with Bill Siemantel, the FishLab BBZ Wake Rat combines surface disruption, sound, and realism so you can cover water on a steady wake, then slow down and make it hunt with a twitch-and-pause. That metal lip throws a deep gurgle, the body darts with a sharp zig-zag on cadence changes, and the internal heavy knocking rattle keeps broadcasting “easy target” to fish tracking from below.

Why Bass Anglers Love It

• Keeps fish committing in calm, pressured conditions, thanks to a realistic rodent profile with surface-fighting attitude.
• Lets you control pace from crawl to burn, thanks to a wakebait design that stays on top and keeps working on a steady retrieve.
• Adds a sharp change-up without switching baits, thanks to a twitching pause that creates a zig-zag strike window.
• Pulls bass up from below with confidence, thanks to a deep gurgle and internal heavy knocking rattle.
• Runs like a shallow crankbait on the surface, giving you noisy coverage over skinny water without digging into cover.
