Description

ZooKeeper Do It Yourself Kit – Tube not included. Hardware is.

Want the patented ZooKeeper system without buying a finished unit? The DIY Kit is the self-assembly package – We supply the parts that make it a ZooKeeper minus the tube.

Same idea as a factory unit. Molded flanges, injection-molded slotted funnel, threaded caps, and the patented drain. Load lionfish straight off a pole spear, speargun, or Hawaiian sling. No hand contact with the spines. Water flows through underwater and dumps fast on the ladder. Read how the system is built in What makes a ZooKeeper the optimal device and why hunters use it in Why choose the ZooKeeper.

What’s in the box From the Self Assembly Kit photo:

Molded slotted funnel (color you select)
Two threaded caps (top and bottom)
Two flanges
Patented drain valve
Handle and mounting hardware
Paracord for a clip or Zook Strap

Tube is not in this kit. Order the matching body here: ZooKeeper – Tube (Only).

Match the tube to the finished size you want. A shorter body is easier on a recreational dive. A longer body carries more for a derby day.

Color: Black, Pink, Red, Teal, White, Olive. Caps, flanges, and drain ship in the standard finish shown on the product image.

Who it’s for

Hunters who already have a tube, or want a custom length
Shops and team leads building units for a trip
Anyone replacing a full set of ends instead of piecing parts one at a time

If you want it ready to dive, skip the build and grab a finished unit:

Clear ZooKeeper — $109.95–$234.95
Red vinyl wrapped — $134.95–$244.95
Grey vinyl wrapped — $134.95–$244.95
Need more capacity later? Add the Pro-XTend

After it’s built Use it the way the team does. Lionfish first. Lobster, catch, and marine debris on the same dive. The hard body keeps spines off your hands and off the boat. See how to multipurpose a ZooKeeper. The rubber funnel is only for lobster and debris. Do not use it for lionfish. Spines can puncture rubber.

Spare parts live in ZooKeeper Parts: replacement funnels, flanges, threaded caps, drain valves, and handles.

On the boat, pair it with ZooKeeper shears and sleeve for cleaning. If you have never been stuck, read what a lionfish sting actually does before you hunt.
