Sluggo invented it, Zoom perfected it. Zoom made it work. (And I know the company was not named sluggo, I just don't remember what company)

I think it was lunker city who created the first slug-go. I have bought lots of these in past years  and never given them a real chance. And I have had great success with the zoom fluke. It may be due to the fact that I was rigging upside down. However, zoom flukes work well rigged either way. In any event, looking forward to giving these another try later this spring when the bass move up in the water column. 

I use the Yamamoto D-shad.

Gosh, I've been fishing the super fluke for decades, but this year I'm strictly throwing

the Zoom Magnum 7" Fluke (smoking shad). I thought it might be a tad big,

but it's surprising how many small bass seize that big chunk of plastic.

 

Since soft jerkbaits are weedless, they substitute for hard jerkbaits when I'm fishing in weeds (which is most of the time).

On the downside, soft jerks have no diving lip, so they depend on the weight of the fluke & hook

to get down into the work zone. With an Owner 6/0 Open-gap Twistlock Hook (sku 5132 - 32 grains),

the 7" magnum fluke has a nice lazy descent and is easily worked 1 to 3-ft below the surface.

I use zooms the most(prob 200 bags) but have a good supply of bass assassins and sluggos.babybass white pink and black covers all my fishing saltwater also,rock love the pink ones on a jighead

Bass Assassin's great! I knew someone(Roger)

Would tip their hand! Whoops...

 

Zoom super fluke

I don't fish a ton of fluke style lures, but I usually reach for the caffeine shad before any others. I've caught several nice fish with these

I like Houdini color these days, and I like the Houdini shad since I have a bunch of bags from a few years ago, zoom forked flukes for smaller sizes and for 5" and larger forked I love the D.O.A. Cal flukes in Gold Rush, but the Caffiene shad is my favorite...Casts a mile and that tail action is the best in my opinion, GYB has a good fluke that is similar as well....I still love Lunker City Sluggo's and the new slim sluggo's are awesome, not a lot of colors but AK shad is always a good color for most lakes.

 

And black and blue flukes are all good, and key is the right hook and lightest line possible in my opinion, and toss one on a chatterbait and game on....Not a fan of paddle tail flukes, I use swimbaits for those, grass pigs etc.

How about the Culprit Jerk Worm?  Discontinued, but still have a bunch and catch lots of fish with them.

I wish I could try those out. I trust culprit to get the job done alot. 

SK Caffeine shad and Zoom Super Fluke for me.

Flukes are my standard "only bringing a pocket's worth of tackle" lure for exploring new areas.  I think Zoom Supers have the best action and durability, and I can skip them with the greatest of ease.  I also use the D-shads, as they have that senko wiggle on the fall and are salty enough to hit deeper water a ton faster then the Zooms.  

I likely have a dozen other small fluke style baits in rotation, it is really becoming one of my favorite ways to fish.  Every time I have a senko or weightless worm tied on I, at some point, wish it was a fluke.  

M-Pack Shad - look at the first post.

Zoom magnums and standard sized ones and Stankxbaitco jerk shads are what i use.  As far as colors go, i like moccasin blue and watermelon candy or mardi gras for the zooms and the Stankx I like their blugilla.

Zoom super flukes

I use a few different versions. For a quick limit, when the bait fish are small, or in ponds I like the zoom super fluke jr. For most of my soft jerkbait fishing, I use the regular super fluke. For stripers, and for when I see large shad or I'm targeting a kicker fish, I use the magnum super fluke. I use the lunker city sluggo sometimes for stripers or when I've been catching them the fluke and they stop biting. Then I throw the sluggo to present a different look. When the fish are finicky I use the caffeine shad because it falls level. When the fish are super finicky I use the d shad, a fluke stick, or a senko type bait in shad colors. I also use all the zoom baits on scrounger heads and underspins

I love the Zoom Super Salty Fluke! Main colors, white pearl, white ice, watermelon, baby bass! They're durable and work great! I only use these. They just flat out catch fish for me!

I like the original slug go 6" and the perfect plastic magnum shad.

bass assassin 5inch,in native shiner. round body,little more weight to it ,cast's  like a bullet.

Zoom bluegill flash....My go to fluke....

I like bass assassin single tail. They seem to have amazing colors and last forever on a twistlock hook

D shad for me.  They have higher salt content allowing them to sink faster and fished deeper.

 

Anyone used the gambler stud?
