Default New Zoom Product

Anybody see these Swimming Flukes yet? Tried to work a deal to get some for the upcoming show but didn't work out. Probably will sell very well too !

Yes, that's where I first saw them but was wondering if anyone has actually seen them in the stores or shows yet??? I saw that they made some stores in December.

The drag and weight from that big tail is going to have an effect of that nice glide you get from flukes. But I'm sure these will have their place as well.

These could be the answer to the Chatterbait trailer question from that other thread.

I don't think they're meant to be fished as a normal fluke. I think it's more of Zoom's response to the paddle tail swimbait craze. I've used the swim senkos (senko w/ a paddle tail) on DS's and wacky rigged with decent result.

I'm definately going to get a few packs of these when I find them.

Yep have seen it but never try it. Looks like upcoming hot bait though.

Wow, they do you look pretty cool! A bigger tail than I thought they could have. They also have more bulk than the regular flukes.

They might be but don't have the thickness top to bottom I'm looking for although I won't count them out.

I think they might be a good bait for using in wide spread pads. Fish over the pads and drop down and swim to the next section of pads.

I bet they would be great for slow bounce trolling for stripers and walleye.

I like them,looks like they will work well when you want to displace more water than the reg fluke.

Looks like an H&H cocahoe that we use in the gulf for specs.
