I was talking to a few guys that jig with some thing that looks like a zoom salty super fluke..now question is there any other brands out there that make some thing similar to the zoom plastic's? Or do I have to make my own?
-
I use Gulp, and Powerbait ribbon or twister tails, on a 1/4 ounce Jig head.
-
From what the guys jigging are saying there using 1 ounce to 5/8 ounce jig heads with a 5 inch long super fluke with stinger hooks... I guess I am trying to find a few brands that maybe comparable to the super flukes cause I am not finding the right colors in the super flukes...heavy current and deep depth is why there using the heavier jigs...

I am no walleye expert, but I have done well with Tsunami Split-tail Minnows, casting and vertical jigging. Many people don't do well with it, but that is because you need to give it some action (like a super fluke) and many just cast it out and retrieve it straight in... Give it some twitches and jumps and it becomes alive!

I really like the Gulp baits both in the jar and in the bag. There are larger baits and one very simaler to the Super Fluke in their lineup. I also like their paddletails version.
-
Thanks guys I will have to try some of those tsunami st5 split tails the one I am looking for is clear belly blue back wit lots of silver flake size large. Threw out the hole body.. just having trouble finding it...
-
i do very well with 3" berkley ripple shads on 1/4oz and 3/8oz jigs.
also, anything gulp can be very good for walleyes, especially in cold water. Only problem is that big catfish like gulp too, and that gets old after a while.
-
I like the Gulp 4 in swimming mullet....saltwater version

I would put money on the fact that a good old fashion 3" twister tail has taken more eyes than any other soft plastic. I have caught more than a few on them.

Yea, we used them back in the 70's when they first appeared on the market to jig for eyes at Kinzua here in NY and PA.

any one here ever hear of "fin-s" band soft plastic's? I think that's the brand I am looking for..

yes, those in 4" are our go-to in saltwater for stripers. i like tails with action for walleyes.

I use the smaller ones for perch....in the spring I hardly need live bait...1/16 oz jig head...I would think 5" with 3/8-5/8 jig head would b killer for walleye

1/4 ,3/8, and half ounce jig heads are what we use for chugging for 4 to 5 inch tails for eyes we also use 5/8 to one ounce for vertical jigging on the Detroit river and st clair rivers... now swimming or chugging it, or "getting it to dart or flash" is what were doing with them... but in the spring we use the vertical jigging out of boats at the mouths of rivers. the mouths are dark or stained with the cross flow of two rivers were one body of water is clear water it tend to cloud up at the mouths...

I haven't found a freshwater fish that won't demolish a 3" gulp minnow on a jig head. I go through dozens of bags a year.

For a fairly new bait try ether the Kalins Grub or Jerk Minnow.
