I was going through my old plastics and noticed I still had 3X material
Strike King lures: Flukes, Trickworms and lizards. I used them a few
times for LM and found them a nuisance in weeds. You couldn't use them
weightless because of the super floatation (like a Zoom Fluke) and they'd melt any normal plastic it came in contact with. I still see them sold but don't think I'll buy again unless I can find a use for
them. At least I bought them cheap in a clearance bin.



Anyone use 3X baits - the ones that stretch to arms length and are super buoyant?

I use the flukes specifically because they float.  There are times that I want the bait to stay up.  Put a heavy hook on it, and twitch and walk it on the surface.

I saw a Shaw Grigsby video of him using them (fluke) on a drop-shot rig and the action was impressive. Of course I don't know how much editing was done of him catching 2-5 lb bass on the rig, but I liked fast upward floatation.

I was looking for floating worms which I could use drop shotting and on a shakey head.  Just bought a pack of the finesse worms.  Hoping to put them to the test next spring.

Not only for floating, but for how durable they are.  Multiple fish one one bait saves money.

The lizards are one of my favorite C-rig bait just because they float. I like the Zman craw baits for a jig trailer because they're durable and the claws float up at rest. The Zinker is a great finesse bait on a jighead. The Zman Finesse shad on a Scrounger head has great action and lasts a lot longer than regular flukes. 

Picked up a few packs of Zeros last time I was at BPS.

A PB&J Zero on a ballhead jig was my go to for awhile there.

What is the name of the sk lizards that float?

 

I only see sk rage tail lizards and they don't mention 3x.

Mine are old but say 6" lizard like these.

I also really like the floating fluke lures - they used to have one that floated and had a small rattle pocket in it - I use them like a suspending hardbait in winter with enough weight to have them barely suspend or sink. Deadly drifted past logs for smallmouths in our Ozark rivers. I like the chunk jig trailers but really like the new LeechZ (which isn't Strike King) as a hair jig trailer - already catching Bass and Walleye this year on upper Bull Shoals with it.

The Z-Too's and the finesse worms. The Zeros are good till they lose the salt and start floating but then just put 'em on a shakey head or C-rig.
