Soft Swimbait Colors

Featured Replies

I'm looking to get some soft swimbaits such as zoom swimming super flukes. Anyone have color suggestions?

Hard to go wrong with white and then a bluegillish color. I LOVE Zoom's Arkansaw Shiner color, really resembles the small fish in my waters.

For zoom try the swimming super fluke Jr in white ice or disco violet, bait fish, smokin shad and baby bass colors, heck even crazy chrome too. But I confess I mostly use white ice and disco violet more probably because Walmart carries them in most stores and not so much of the other colors.

 

If you try Berkley swim baits try chartreuse! And pearl white with red eye.

 

The bass in my avatar was caught this summer on a zoom swimming super fluke Jr- the disco violet color.

It depends on what waters you fish. Just match what the bass are eating as closely as you can and you should be good. Most of the colors are good and it'd be hard to go wrong.

I have had some serious success with the Berkely Havoc Sick Fish in "Disco Shad".  I know you mentioned Swimmin' Flukes, but you should really check out the Sick Fish, on TW for their 25 days of Christmas sale they are going for $1.74. 

 

Anyway kind of went off topic.  For general swimbait colors I like blues and greens packed with glitter.

Albino and Pearl White for Zoom are good to start off with.

Don't bother trying to match as closely as you can what the bass are eating, bubblegum is a great color and there ain't no bubblegum colored fish.

Sexy shad has been my favorite go to color. Water I fish most of the time is about 3 feet visibility

I wasn't overly impressed with the swimmin' super flukes. You might want to check out the Big Bite Baits Cane Thumper instead. Some of my favorite colors in those are alewife, green pumpkin, hematoma, ss shad, and tilapia.  

Alibino, pearl, green pumpkin all do well. Arkansa shiner is probably the best for my area- clear lakes. If you use the white flukes which are also great, don't get the white flukes with the chartreuse tails. Get the albino or pearl flukes and dip the tail in JJ's magic. You get a better, more vibrant chartreuse plus the garlic scent. I saw my catch rate increase dramatically on the flukes once I started using JJ's. I don't believe in anything named "Magic" but this produce flat our works. Comes as close to magic as you can get in my book.

Albino, Arkansas Shiner, and Disco Violet are my favorites in the swimming flukes. I only use them on A rigs though. If you're looking for a stand alone paddletail, I'd highly suggest spending the extra money and going with Keitech. 

Get yourself some Gambler Big EZ and EZ swimmers. My favorite colors are Copperfield, lane toad, and Florida five 0. Work them weightless across the top of vegetation and around lay downs.

I'm big on watermelon w/red flake. I get big bites on that color. I think the flakes really flash in clearer water.

I use the zoom swimming fluke jr for swimjig trailers, I have had good luck on the white/clear color on white or shad color jigs, as well as watermelon red flake on bluegill jigs. Just made the switch to the keitech swing impacts, they have really good action, I use mainly pearl and bluegill flash in those.
