Has anyone used the split tail shads they dont have the hook pocket will my hook ups go down if I use these instead of zoom flukes thanks

Hmm..didn't know they had a split tail shad. I have used the whip tail fluke they got and its pretty good,especially on a carolina rig. My favorite from them is the 6 inch twitch which is a version of a slug-go only better.

You MAY be able to take an x-acto knife and split the belly of the one your asking about a little? :-?

This is them  http://www.bassassassin.com/p/-Rainbow-Trout-100ct-Bulk-4%22-SW-Split-Tail-Shad/bass-fishing-lures/-bulk4inchsplittails/-4%22-Split-Tail-Assassin-100ct-Bulk-3-99/STS38332BLK/

They are 3.99 for a 100 count pack

Oh yeah forgot about those,duh. I've seen them at sports authority and discount tackle. I really don't think that hookups would be a problem on it.That bait is not very thick and has a rounder body unlike a fluke which has flat sides but very thick from top to bottom. A 3/0 or 4/0 wide gap hook should be fine. I know most anglers use the minnows of that style for saltwater with a jig head,thats kind of what it is designed for but t-rigged for bass should be fine too. 3.99 for 100 you can't go wrong as long as the color suits you,your not taking too much of a risk there.

The only difference is that you have to push a hook through more plastic to get it out the other side, otherwise there is little difference. Hookups should not be a problem, and if anything the solid types should last a little longer.

they work the same just skin hook it and you will be fine

Bass assassin brand as a whole any good?

I like their flukes a little better than the Zoom's.  Their inventory reduction sale is great - can't beat 100 pieces for the price of a 10 pack. 

The 5" assassin has a little more wiggle than the fluke but it's less durable and doesn't sink as fast. I buy both though.

Great price and yes they would be very good for saltwater on  a jig head.
