I bought this on a whim not knowing how to use it. First try was on a Ned rig and it worked really well, after the second cast I got three decent size bass. Thought how else can I use this. It was a windy day so I thought I can just throw this out on a drop shot and let the current do the work and surprisingly it did. After about five minutes with this just sitting out there, I never moved it, a three and a half pound bass decide to eat it. Great little bait.

Great looking worm. Fish killer. Bass love it

5 Wormin
The Zoom ol monsters are my soft plastic of choice. The 10 1/2 '' worm will get the bass' attention. They are very durable and come in a good assortment of colors. My most productive have been: black shad, red shad and California 420. I love texas rigging these worms and practically fishing anywhere on the lake. From fallen timber to points to deep water structure, these are a sure bet

The best all around lure i have used. It has great action with the flip tail. Purchased at Dicks because of grand opening and had a coupon. Their normal prices are about$ 1. 00 more than other retailers in the area. Will continue to purchase at other outlets until Dicks lowers their prices to meet the competition.

5 Marc
Long- lasting product, bass do LOVE EM. Zoom does make good fishing products.

5 catch12
Been using swimming flukes since they came out... have caught bass, snook, reds and speckled trout. Use them as a swimbait Texas rigged with a pegged bullet weight. Use them weightless worked real slow and easy, just twitch them or bring to the top and let them sink back down to the bottom or buzz them on top. You can go fishing with only this bait and always catch fish. Houdini is my favorite color... What a bait!!

5 BogMountain
I have switched to the Zoom Swimmin' Super Fluke as my `` go to '' bait for both small and largemouth bass fishing. They can be very effectively fished as a surface bait in very thick aquatic vegetation and are extremely effective when fished that way for largemouth bass. They can also be fished as a `` wake bait '' or fished more slowly as a subsurface bait. My favorite colors are Baby Bass, Pearl, and Houdini. You need to have several bags of these in your arsenal!

5 Anonymous
I suggest for Bass and crappie you use the smaller two sizes but if you 're looking for bigger bass or striped bass then you should go ahead to the larger sizes. I think any fisherman would be wise to have at least one of each size in the black and the blue in their tackle box at all times. I only wish I could afford to buy more than I have and I would give them to kids to help them get started. To me this is the Best bang for your buck lure on the market.

5 Rob
The 2 1/2 inch Rebel Jointed Minnow is above Excellent in the Southern Australian rivers, streams& lakes for both Brown Trout& Rainbows. It's swimming action is so much more than enticing, extremely life- like. Other styles and brands just ca n't capture the same seductive swimming action which the fish love. When the paint wore off I repainted the lures with a chartreuse back, dark green stripes& a lumo white underbelly which made it even more effective on cloudy overcast days. Great work Rebel.

5 Anonymous
Best lure I have ever used! I had one for over 15 years and could not find them again until I found them online today! I have caught 100's of fish on that one lure alone( 3. 5 inch jointed minnow). It had chipped paint and scratches from so much use over the years but still performed flawlessly. I had lost it this past weekend on a monster bass and I was devastated. Now I am buying several of them in several different sizes. No need to bring a tackle box if u have this lure. Works great working the banks from a boat or from shore casting out. Ca n't say enough good stuff about this lure! Thanks for still offering it for purchase after so many years.

5 Anonymous
This bait has a tried& true history in Manitoba Parkland trout lakes. Long lined and taken down to between 5- 8 feet we 'll catch most species of trout that we fish for. The only wish I have for this awesome lure is that they 'd bring back the `` baby bass '' pattern which in some of our lakes resembles the chubs our trout love to eat. Nonetheless, this is a great lure! My business' success is connected to this great bait.

5 Anonymous
I have used this Lure for years. If i do n't catch anything on this the Lure then the fish a n't there! try some where else.

Have been using them for years. Theyre the best. Have tried some of the other stik baits but found out very quickly they don ’ t cut it. Switched to Senko on a full time basis when I found out I didn ’ t have to keep chasing the newer jig, swim bait, spinner et- al. Senko always works.

5 Don M.
Love using the senko worms. Does not matter which size 5 or 6 attract the fish. I am consistently catching fish everytime out. They have the best action over all other worms. I have and would recommend them to everyone.

The 6 ” senko is the best in its class! The standard in which all other stick baits are judged.

I had n't been fishing in about thirty years, and upon a recommendation on the internet, I purchased a couple of Sonar 433's. One `` fluorescent green '' and the other in `` perch. '' I fished off a pier at Put- in- Bay, OH in Lake Erie. I 'd never caught anything on an artificial bait or lure in my previous fishing years. I varied my retrieves and using a steady retrieve I started getting hits. In two hours I landed 6- 8 sheepshead( not a glamor fish, I know, but fun after 30 years away!), a white bass and a couple smallmouth( one threw the hook in the water though.) I was quite pleased, and with clear water at my location I could see the action. I liked it and obviously so did the fish. I 'll have to by a new fluorescent green one, though, as my line broke at the not while bringing one fish in. The fish swam off with the lure still in its mouth. Some lucky fisherman will get a lure.

5 Jerry
Use many colors of Heddon Sonar, but when Walleye seem to be a little sluggish and picky, the Blue Flitter is the secret weapon they ca n't seem to resist. No matter what your jigging with, it's a good idea to have one or two of these in your tackle box.

5 P H.
I had n't been fishing in about thirty years- since my mid- Twenties. I had two of these on the recommendation of someone in a forum so where on the web. I had never caught anything on an artificial bait or lure, but as I was on a vacation and could n't carry much, those were what I had to work with. I found a pier at Put- I Need- Bay, Ohio( western Lake Erie) and attached one of the chartreuse Sonar 431's I bought for the trip. I thought I felt a strike, but chalked it up to wishful thinking.

5 Paul
I had n't been fishing in nearly 25 years. While searching the internet, I found a recommendation for the Sonar. I bought two 433s. I was fishing from the shore at Put- in- Bay, OH in Lake Erie. I had never caught anything on an artificial bait or lure... in my life. In about two hours I caught about 6- 8 sheepshead( exciting, but fun to be catching something), a white bass, and a very good size smallmouth. Not a bad return to the sport.

I have been using Zoom Fat Albert grubs for several years and they are the best in my opinion. I fish them on a jig head', swimming them back to the boat using a lift and drop retrieve and sometimes a straight retrieve. You need to try both methods to see which one works the best each day. I also use them as a trailer on spinner baits. And do n't forget to try them on a safety pin rig like the old beetle spin but with the Fat Albert in stead of the beetle.

T- rig with 1/4- 3/8 oz tungsten bullet weight and a 4/0- 5/0 off set worm hook. You can use a 1/16- 1/8 oz bullet weight if you are using spinning gear. Cast to some cover and let it set on the bottom for a stretch with occasional twitches. Hits most often occur as the worm is falling to the bottom... but I have also had hits shortly after the worm hits the bottom and is just setting there. Stitch it along the bottom by lifting and dropping your rod tip 6 '' or so. Slowly works best, but the bass will tell you what they want. Do n't be afraid to tie on a big worm when you are fishing for largemouth bass! I 've had bass< 1 lb hit this worm like a train. I keep my colors simple... black and green pumpkin are all you need. Those 2 work in all conditions. A great worm by Zoom!!

Best chatterbait trailer I have found thus far. Good action, easy to rig, like the tail flange produces a quick narrow tail kick that matches the speed of a Jackhammer Chatterbait blade well. Good option, outside of a chatterbait trailer, not impressed... Chatterbait trailer 10/10

5 LukStagAut
I love this bait like most of Yamamoto's soft plastics as it is real fish catcher! I use it mostly as a trailer on my bladed jigs, buzz baits, and occasionally spinner baits in order to add a strong yet somewhat compact baitfish profile. The tail on this bait works at just about any speed and the available colors all exhibit fish appeal. Amazingly though, the soft plastic on this bait holds up much better than the majority of Yamamoto's soft plastic offerings, as once properly glued, I have able to catch many fish, even the toothy varieties, without having to replace it; making them worth the price.

Attached to spinnerbaits, jigs, even drop shots. This is a great product. Little enough to attach but big enough to run straight up. First time I have used this product and caught a good size bass running this on a 1/2 '' Chartreuse willow blade spinnerbait. Will buy again

My go to bait when fishing slows. I fish almost every day, and very rarely do I get shut out using this bait. One of the best on the market. A couple of jerks, then a slight pause almost always triggers strikes. Never leave home without it.

One of my favorite lures for jigging, I usually match it with a 2oz Jig head. Great for stripers and weakfish. Bluefish usually terrorize these lures so I buy multiple packs.

5 Turtle
The Super Fluke and Super Fluke Jr is definitely one of my go to baits. I Can fish it weed less through the pads get it down a few feet on a swim jig or my favorite fish it on a dropshot rig. It does n't matter how you fish it the bait always seems to get that bite you need. I would n't buy them from a better place than Dicks Sporting Goods. They always have the color I want and many more to choose from. Get you a pack today and fish on. Turtle

When the saucy swimmers came out, I thought, why not give them a try. I 'm glad did. Nothing is the scent something the fish seem to lock on to, they are extremely durable. I used to use strike king rage swimmers and they were decent, but if I can catch on 6- 7 fish per bait on average with the googan baits, versus 2- 3 with strike king its a no brainer. I live in Florida and electric shades is the color of choice for me. Buy them 3 packs at a time and save. Want to save more?

At first I was very skeptical about the googan baits but I decided to give a few different styles a try. The bandito bug has turned into my favorite flipping creature/craw soft plastic. Whether it ’s a pegged texas rig, jig trailer or my favorite... a Picasso wobble head. It always catches fish. When I first saw the bait in person, I thought it was too little for the lakes I fish but once I saw the action under water, I was very surprised at how wide those back legs kicked.. it gave it a larger appearance which was perfect. And that scent is amazing. Stays strong until the bait is unable to use. And yes, they are a little soft and can break easy but that ’s the price you pay for a bait with good action.

5 TommyT098
I bought these and landed about 10 fish( missed about 30) in only about 2 hours. One tip, if you buy from dicks, go in store and do the price match guarantee and only pay$ 6 rather than$ 7 for them. Other wise great baits and caught tons of fish, but they rip easily.

Bait For Dam Fishing

On this page...

  • What types of bait are best for dam fishing?
  • How does the water flow at a dam affect bait selection?
  • What are the advantages of using dough bait for dam fishing?
  • Are there specific techniques for using soft baits in dam fishing?
  • What factors should I consider when choosing bait for different seasons at a dam?

Frequently Asked Questions For Bait For Dam Fishing

When fishing at dams, anglers often prefer baits that mimic the natural food sources of fish in the area. Popular options include dough baits, soft baits, and plugs that can attract various species. The choice of bait can depend on the target fish, water conditions, and time of year.

The water flow at a dam can significantly influence fish behavior and feeding patterns. In areas with strong currents, using baits that can withstand the flow and stay in the strike zone is essential. Conversely, in calmer waters, lighter baits may be more effective in enticing fish.

Dough baits are often favored for their versatility and ability to hold scent in the water, attracting fish from a distance. They can be easily molded to fit hooks and can be used in various fishing techniques. Additionally, dough baits are effective for catching species like trout and panfish, which are commonly found near dams.

Using soft baits effectively at dams often involves varying your retrieval speed and technique to mimic the movement of prey. Anglers may choose to use a slow, steady retrieve or incorporate pauses to create a more enticing presentation. Experimenting with different depths and areas around the dam can also increase your chances of success.

Seasonal changes can greatly affect fish behavior and bait preferences. In warmer months, fish may be more active and responsive to vibrant, scented baits, while in cooler months, they might prefer more subtle options. Understanding the seasonal patterns of the fish species you're targeting can help you select the most effective bait.
