Extremely durable elaztech, Can ’ t get but off by bluefish and croaker. Big plus imo and the fish love it. Pair with 2/0 weedless hook or a z man trout eye or redfish eye. Also works on a sea striker gotcha jighead

Great swim bait! Very durable and looks very much like bait fish.

Im a subscriber to Salt strong, and per their advice purchased these at dicks.. They have great action and most important they are very tough. I dont have to change them every time I catch a fish. I also catch more fish with the z- man than with other swimbaits.

I love crappie fishing, used to live minnow all the time until I switch to powerbait. Works even better. Best lure ever made, also works on trouts, bass, even caught a pike, I buy 30 to 50 packs at a time. Last me about a year. I highly recommend it!!!!!

I bought a bag of this bait at my local dicks store last week. I fish regularly on Cayuga lake which is located in the finger lakes in NY. I purchased some minnow soft baits as an alternative bait to my Berkley grub baits. I had lots of success in catching some fish including some blue gill, perch, and large mouth. I also caught tons! and tons! of gobies where I fished. These things have huge mouths and love the scented bait. I was only fishing of a dock so I did n't get the full experience of using this bait on a boat or kayak. I found that using a smaller hook worked well in catching the fish near me. I hooked the bait through the head and out the bottom similar to a carolina rig. The bait works well even after a few fish are caught and the bait is broken down. I suggest throwing the bait back in the back once finished so it can redial up the liquid in the gulp bag. All in all decent bait for a good price.

5 Fisher_of_fish
I use these on a chatter bait flashback mini, and get a crappie almost every cast when over submerged weedbeds. These are by far the most irresistible bait- both in taste/scent and texture- to most panfish. The chatter bait draws them, and these baits keep them. I use the 2. 5 '' black or emerald shiners mostly. Fire tiger works well on cloudy days.

5 JR Beardsmith
There is n't a fish, in my neck of the woods, that 'll pass this bait up! Always in my kit when and wherever I go freshwater fishing.

5 MHATW
I buy this pretty regularly because I run out pretty quick. I 've used these with great success fishing for Trout, bass, crappies, pickerel, in local rivers and on lakes, all seasons. Even ice fishing. Love this bait.

I caught 20 fish( 19 bass, 1 panfish) last night, and a lot of them were caught on this baby. The bite is causes is unreal. It's so simple to use, aswell. I just reeled in a little then let it float and the jig head gave it a nice swimming motion. These base crushed it and it was a lot of fun. Excellent lure and I beg you to buy this!

5 Krocfoot
I can speak from alot of experience with this product. I use this these for freshwater trout that are locally stocked. If you impart the correct action, you will draw strikes when nobody else is.. i 've often outfished live fatheads. Also, if your intentions are to catch and release, using a 2 in jig like this with a 1/32 th oz head assures an easy liphook for quick releases. Ill tell you the secret, pretend your teasing a cat on your retrieve and fish will jump on it!

5 Shakyjason

I bought this bait at my local dicks sporting goods store last week. I fish on Cayuga lake which is located in the finger lakes in Upstate New York. I purchased some Berkley grub minnows for fishing off of a dock near a marina and off of the shore near a small bank. I had lots of success in landing some fish including some blue gill, pumpkin seed, rock bass, and large mouth bass. Do n't let me forget to mention that I caught A LOT of gobies. These things have huge mouths and love the scented bait. You can definitely catch some 2 or 3 lb largemouth on these bait if you are fishing in the right area. I found that using a size 4 jawbone hook worked well with a Carolina rig for the fish I was after. I added a 1/8 oz weight about 5 inches from the hook. I received most bites and catches on sunny days with calm water in about 20- 40 feet of water. To retrieve the bait cast it out very far, then let it sink to the bottom. Then just slowly reel on the line every 5 seconds then let it sink then repeat. These baits tear away after you snag them or hook them multiple times. They also lose scent after a while so sometimes if it is reusable I wash it off then throw it back in the bag to soak in the juice.

5 Wyoming Rocker
I have used this product for years. It just simply out catches all other bait. I still try other baits but for consistancy I use Gulp. The availability of sizes and colors keep me ready for what ever type of fish are biting that day, especially the flounder!!!

5 El pescador de Colorado
When used in conjunction with a simple jig head, a beetle spin or an underspin jig head, this Gulp bait has really helped me catch big crappie, some nice largemouth, and a number of walleyes this spring.

I thought I ’ d give this a try and thought it might be a good fluke substitute. But I also thought it might work as a good trailer. And it did not fail… it did do both. Put it on the back of a chatter bait ‘ mini max ’ and hold on tight. It works magically. And still provides plenty of hunting action to the Chatterbait. I also pierced a few lips using it on a drop shot.

Excellent quality and value as you get a jighead and 2 tails. If you striper fish, a soft plastic sand eel is a necessity along with 2 other lures in the northeast. There's many options but what is nice about the Madeel the soft plastic is pre- formed with dedicated hook shank guide so there's no need to measure or keep retrying to center the hook or where it protrudes. Sometimes a Tsunami or Hogy eel does not work throw a Madeel and see if you get a hookup. Its' what happens to me all the time when one profile is seen too much another offering produces a strike. The plastic is also formed to the contours of its jighead so you will always get a consistent swim action.

I 've been using Zoom products for several years now and use the swimmin chunk as a trailer on a 1/4 ounce jig and also a 3/8 ounce jig. i usually dip the legs in a chartreuse garlic dye, and most of my jigs are a shade of green( usually a green crawfish) not sure if the bass see this as a bluegill or crawfish; only that it catches fish!! i fish an extremely clear, fairly deep lake so detail is very important.

Give yourself a better chance at catching that fish. Add one of these to your jig or spinning lure for some extra action. Get that fishes attention!

5 Scotty G
Texas rig these lures, cast them out, twitch a couple of times and let them sink. The bass can not resist them. Or add a small weight and jig them off the bottom.

5 RWA Fishing
The irratic darting motion on a jerk- pause retrieve looks so much like a fish in distress, it has caught big and small bass, very effective when they 're feeding near the surface, it's action does get a reaction bite that varies. Sometimes the line just stops with no initial tap or tug, other times they try to rip the rod out of my hands!

5 Landshark1804
Me and my friend use these constantly, they work so well! The first time I used them I would cast it out let it sink and then jerk every few seconds, on my first cast I was pleasantly surprised with 4 big bass following it! were talking 3 pounders!!! I use primarily the White Pearl color and my first time using them I caught 53 bass over 1lb!!!

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 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!

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

Frequently Asked Questions For Plastic Minnow Bait

Plastic minnow bait is designed to mimic the appearance and movement of live minnows, making it highly effective for attracting a variety of fish species. These baits are often durable and can withstand multiple catches, providing good value for anglers. Additionally, they come in various colors and sizes, allowing for customization based on water conditions and target species.

Plastic minnow bait is versatile and can be used in various fishing environments, including freshwater and saltwater. It is particularly effective during the spring and fall when fish are actively feeding. Anglers often use it for targeting species like bass, trout, and walleye, especially in areas where minnows are a natural food source.

Choosing the right size of plastic minnow bait depends on the species you are targeting and the size of the fish in your fishing area. Generally, smaller baits are suitable for panfish and trout, while larger baits may be more effective for bass and pike. It's also important to consider the local forage size to match the bait to what fish are naturally feeding on.

Plastic minnow baits are typically made from soft, flexible materials that allow for realistic movement in the water. Common materials include PVC and other synthetic compounds that provide durability and lifelike action. Some baits may also incorporate scents or flavorings to enhance their attractiveness to fish.

Effective techniques for using plastic minnow bait include varying your retrieval speed and incorporating pauses to mimic the natural behavior of a wounded minnow. Anglers often use jigging, drop-shotting, or Texas rigging methods to present the bait in a way that entices fish. Experimenting with different techniques can help determine what works best in your fishing conditions.

Yes, plastic minnow baits are suitable for both freshwater and saltwater fishing. Many anglers find them effective for targeting a wide range of species in various environments. However, it's essential to choose baits that are specifically designed for the type of water you are fishing in, as some may be more durable or effective in saltwater conditions.
