ZOOM FLUKES

Post by devans850 »

Does anyone have a connection with getting the flukes in bulk. I've been paying around 3.50 and up for them. I usually fish up 4-5 packs a day. Thanks

Flukes are all I use, "Year round", for saltwater. If your going through 4 or 5 packs a trip you need to change the brand your buying. Xtrude makes a harder plastic and there are a lot of other hard rubber baits. The first thing I do when shopping for flukes is squeeze the bait and feel how dense the rubber is. I will say this if your using 5" BassAssasins you will go through a lot of baits, their rubber is very soft. I do use one BassAssasin type a 7" Fluke, its a great bait. The only color I use for all my flukes are white. :thumbup:

Have you tried Ebay, here is a item selling 6 packs, your choice of color.
No reserve and its 0.99 for all packs right now, probably will go up but it will probably be a good price.

Have you tried super glue?I super Glue mine to the hook at the head of the jerk bait. It seems to make it last longer.
You can also "repair" a Plastic bait with super glue.

I tried that years ago. However, when the bait and hook are stuck to your fingers, they no longer cast very well. :roll:
What was I supposed to do today?

I've also noticed Super Glue is being sold in single use packs now. Still doesn't help with TC's problem. :)
