Zoom 5″ Boot Tail Fluke (5 pk)
A solid-bodied swimbait which combines the best attributes of two of Zoom’s all-time Classics – the lifelike body of the legendary Fluke with the hard shaking tail of the more recently-introduced hollow Zoom Swimmer.
Filling an important niche, it combines the durability and heft of a solid body with the nimble action of the Fluke and the body roll provided by the boot tail. It moves water at any speed, and can be fished throughout the water column. It can be applied to a wide variety of techniques, too.
While the Boot Tail Fluke is exceptional on a weighted swimbait hook or a jighead, it’s also deadly on the back of a vibrating jig or swim jig, as well as a castable umbrella rig. When fish demand more water displacement than the Fluke can provide, and have grown accustomed to less aggressive action, this lure delivers the right balance of movement and weight.

This lure works great in both shallow and deep water. I’ve used it on a jighead and a vibrating jig, and fish are consistently biting. The tail action is strong and realistic, especially when fish are used to softer lures.
Liam Vaughan –
Fished it during a cold front and saw good results. The boot tail gives it a solid kick that stands out in the water. Works well with a castable umbrella rig, and fish respond quickly.

Compared to the standard Fluke, this one moves more aggressively and creates more disturbance. I caught several largemouth bass on it during a late afternoon spin. Highly recommended for active fishing.
