Zoom Winged Fluke 5in 6/bag Silver Shad

The Zoom Winged Fluke 5-inch soft plastic jerk bait brings a modern twist to a proven bass fishing design. Where the classic fluke excels at triggering strikes through subtle action, the winged fluke adds small wings on each side of the head—a seemingly simple feature that fundamentally changes how the lure behaves in the water. These wings stabilize the bait as it descends and keep it hovering in the strike zone, making it ideal for anglers who want the fluttering appeal of a jerk bait without the constant upward rise that limits traditional flukes in deeper water or slow presentations.

This 5-inch version comes in a 6-pack in Silver Shad, a natural color that matches the forage most bass see in clear to moderately stained water. The flat sides of the bait create that signature side-to-side rocking motion when you shake or twitch your rod—exactly what draws aggressive strikes—while the wings keep the bait level and centered in your target depth. That control is especially valuable when you're working the middle of the water column, whether you're sight-fishing structure or covering open water where bass suspend.

The winged fluke excels as a jig head trailer or fished on a drop-shot rig, giving you flexibility in how you fish it depending on depth, current, and seasonal patterns. If you run forward-facing sonar, you'll appreciate how the wings keep the bait stable enough to track on screen while still delivering the action that triggers bites. It's a refinement designed for anglers who want precision over pure flash—a bait that works because it stays where you put it and moves the way bass expect their prey to move.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you fish the Winged Fluke?

The Winged Fluke works best on a jig head for vertical presentations or on a drop-shot rig for suspended bass. You can also fish it as a hover bait by letting it settle and then working it with short twitches and shakes. The wings keep it level as it falls, and the flat sides trigger strikes when you move your rod.

What's the difference between the Winged Fluke and a regular Super Fluke?

The wings on each side of the head prevent the bait from rising as aggressively, allowing it to hold depth better and hover longer in the strike zone. This makes it more effective for mid-water presentations and when you want a slower, more controlled descent.

Is Silver Shad a good color for all water conditions?

Silver Shad is most effective in clear to moderately stained water where bass can see natural baitfish coloration. It's an excellent general-purpose color for most freshwater bass fishing scenarios.

Will this work with forward-facing sonar?

Yes. The stable profile and wings make the Winged Fluke visible and trackable on forward-facing sonar, allowing you to position it precisely relative to visible bass and structure.
