Zoom Bait Company has done it again with their Swimmin' Super Fluke. They have taken the fish catching prowess of the Super Fluke and added a new boot tail design, and the results are awesome.
Fished weightless with a 4/0 offset hook, this bait has not met cover it cannot navigate. Water willow, wood, matted grass and rocks are all prime locations to toss the SSF. We have also used the
Trokar Swim Bait hook and like them for added weight and hook setting ability in the tough stuff. We teamed it with some of the new
TATSU 15-pound fluorocarbon line and have not had any break offs. We use a fast reel, 6.4 to 1, and a 7 foot medium-heavy rod for this application. The fluorocarbon line works great to allow the bait to sink down in holes in grass and allows the Swimmin' Super Fluke to mimic a dying shad on dead falls without losing hook setting power. Long casts are crucial and the aerodynamics and weight of the bait make it easy to throw even in the wind.
The Swimmin' Super Fluke, 5 inches long, has a very distinct wobble side to side and the boot tail wiggles like crazy. Its also soft for great action but tough enough for several fish. The pointed nose and slotted belly makes rigging a breeze.
We like the new Houdini color but have also thrown several other colors like White Ice and Albino as well.
When fish are in prespawn or locked on the beds, they attack this imitator with a vengeance. Fish will actually wake to the Swimmer to get a taste from adjacent areas.
