BasskingKeith Posted December 30, 2011 Posted December 30, 2011 Zoom Super Flukes and Gambler's Flapp'n shad....that's what I like. Quote
Super User Marty Posted December 31, 2011 Super User Posted December 31, 2011 Super Fluke or Bass Assasin. ....Bill Same here. I think I used Assassins before Flukes so they're an ingrained habit. The Assassins weigh about 15% more than the Flukes, but I was never able to detect any difference in effectiveness. I never tried any other brands because of a preconceived notion that my two brands were enough. My first soft jerkbaits were Mr. Twister Slimy Slugs, very similar to Slug-Gos. They worked very well but I largely stopped using them--for reasons I'm not sure of--when I became acquainted with the Assassin-Fluke style. Quote
Crankenstein Crony Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 My favorite fluke style baits are the Strike King Caffeine Shad in ghost shad and pearl blue, and the Strike King 3X ElazTech Z Too in blue glimmer pearl belly. But I have caught a lot of fish on the Zoom Super Fluke's too, pearl, glimmer blue, and bait fish have all produced very well for me. Quote
StevO Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 try charlie chugos or lunkercity slugos- 4" with ewg mustad hook with barb insert and 12-15 lb flouro they cast 30-40yds and sink relatively well cause of the line. Want a little deeper insert 2 penny nails. These will get you quantity to fill the livewell and the occasional quality fish Quote
Super User .ghoti. Posted January 2, 2012 Super User Posted January 2, 2012 Yum Houdini Shad, unweighted, 4/0 EWG hook, #10 line. This rig can be fished through weeds or wood cover, twitched on top, walked slowly just under the surface, and, best of all, on the drop. Let it drop on the outside weededge. It has a wiggle on the fall just like a senko. None of the other "fluke" type baits has the wiggle. If you use heavier line you'll have to experiment with heavier hooks to get the horizontal fall and wiggle. Quote

Super User ww2farmer Posted January 2, 2012 Super User Posted January 2, 2012 Used to be a Zoom Super Fluke, now it's the Strike King Caffine Shad. The caffine shad has more salt, so it sinks and stays down better. On the fall it has a nice little tail wiggle too.....IDK if the fish care, but I like it. Color does not seem to matter, they bite them all, so I go with one I can see, like white. Quote
NCbassmaster4Life Posted January 2, 2012 Posted January 2, 2012 Zoom Fluke in all sizes, usually I fish it with a 3-4' leader and a 4/0 hook, the leader is so the line will not twist up. Quote
Super User Bassn Blvd Posted January 2, 2012 Super User Posted January 2, 2012 My favorite fluke style bait is the FLUKE. Quote
Super User .ghoti. Posted January 2, 2012 Super User Posted January 2, 2012 X3 They no longer make the color "bluegill" which was, by far, my favorite. Amen to that. Camo Pearl has been the next best color for me by far. Quote
zip pow Posted January 2, 2012 Posted January 2, 2012 Super fluke watermelon seed with the tail dipped in chartuse garlic dye awesome in the mid summer months Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted January 2, 2012 Super User Posted January 2, 2012 Amen to that. Camo Pearl has been the next best color for me by far. Is that the "wrong color" you were fishing down here? Quote
McAlpine Posted January 3, 2012 Posted January 3, 2012 Old school black/clear/silver flake SlugGo. Quote
Super User Hooligan Posted January 3, 2012 Super User Posted January 3, 2012 I'm pretty fond of the Boom R Ang, but it's terrible and you're all happy with what you have so don't go out and try them. Quote
Packard Posted January 3, 2012 Posted January 3, 2012 I'm pretty fond of the Boom R Ang, but it's terrible and you're all happy with what you have so don't go out and try them. I caught a few on the shad color but no one try them. Quote
Super User SirSnookalot Posted January 3, 2012 Super User Posted January 3, 2012 I use Zooms for bass and I use DOA in saltwater. There is a guy I see almost daily, uses a standard Zoom and cheapo jig heads, like 10 2 bucks from Walmart, I use DOA and spend way more money. He catches as many as I do, who is the fool?........... Right, it's me ! Wherever I'm fishing I prefer light colors. Quote
0119 Posted January 3, 2012 Posted January 3, 2012 Always a Zoom Super Fluke. In clear freshwater I use Arkansas Shiner and Clear. In tannic stained water, Golden Bream or Houdini. In stained, Houdini. In saltwater and when visiting the big lakes in Tenn., White Ice. Ive caught more and bigger fish this last year on the super fluke than anything else, but probably cause I throw it 99% of the time. In any water that isnt clear I slip in a tiny glass rattle tube.

Primus Posted January 3, 2012 Posted January 3, 2012 All time favorite is the Zoom Super Fluke . 2011 started fishing the Caffiene Shad and I'm very impressed with the action. Quote
