Description
Zoom The Fluke 4″ is a proven soft jerkbait built for lead head and darter head rigging — and the key difference from the Super Fluke is the solid belly. The Super Fluke has a split belly for weedless rigging; The Fluke has no split, making it the purpose-built choice when you want a fully exposed hook on a lead head or darter head with a cleaner, more streamlined body profile. Every Zoom Fluke is realistic, super-soft to the touch, and salt-impregnated to hold even the most tentative bite. 10 per pack in 6 colors.
Key Features
- Solid Belly — Purpose-Built for Lead Head & Darter Head — Unlike the Super Fluke’s split belly design, The Fluke has a solid belly with no split; the solid belly provides a cleaner, more streamlined body profile on a lead head or darter head, and eliminates the gap that a split belly creates when threaded onto a jig head; the result is a more natural baitfish profile on the retrieve and a more secure connection to the jig head that prevents the bait from spinning or sliding during the jerk-and-pause retrieve.
- Dying Baitfish Action — Jerk-and-Pause Retrieve — On a lead head or darter head, work with sharp rod tip twitches and pauses; on the jerk, the bait darts and flashes to one side; on the pause, it glides and slowly sinks with a subtle shimmy that mimics a dying or disoriented baitfish; the pause is when the strike most often occurs as bass commit to the bait on the fall.
- Salt-Impregnated — Holds Even Tentative Bites — Salt is impregnated throughout the plastic; the salt taste triggers a natural hold response that keeps bass on the bait longer, giving you more time to detect the bite and set the hook; particularly effective for tentative bites from pressured bass that mouth the bait before committing.
- Super-Soft Realistic Profile — Made from Zoom’s super-soft plastic that compresses naturally on the hookset for better hook penetration and produces a lifelike, flexible baitfish profile on the retrieve.
- 10 Per Pack — 6 Colors — Ten baits per pack across 6 colors.

Best For
- Lead Head — Primary Application — Thread on a 1/8–3/8 oz lead head for a subsurface jerkbait presentation; the solid belly provides a clean, streamlined profile on the jig head; work with sharp twitches and pauses, keeping the bait in the strike zone at a consistent depth.
- Darter Head — Open Water Jerkbait — Thread on a darter head for a darting, erratic baitfish action on the jerk-and-pause retrieve; the darter head’s angled eye causes the bait to dart to one side on each twitch, producing a more erratic action than a standard round lead head.
- Schooling Bass — Baitfish Match — When bass are schooling and feeding on baitfish near the surface, cast the Fluke on a light lead head and retrieve at the same speed as the fleeing baitfish; the 4″ profile matches smaller shad and shiner profiles that schooling bass are keying on.
- Dock & Structure Fishing — Cast past dock pilings, bridge columns, and rocky structure and retrieve the Fluke on a lead head through the shadow line; the jerk-and-pause retrieve triggers strikes from bass holding tight to structure in the shade.
