jjcanoe Posted June 18, 2017 Report Posted June 18, 2017 (edited) Anyone know where I can find these? I don't think they make them anymore but if you've seen some in a bargain bin at a tackle store in either pink or grey lately please let me know. Strike king 5" Zulu jerk bait. Thanks in advance!! http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o111/jjcanoe/Mobile%20Uploads/20170618_103658.jpg Edited June 18, 2017 by jjcanoe

misfish Posted June 18, 2017 Report Posted June 18, 2017 The last of what I have left. I have a lake to try this year. Something tells me, I cant save them from being eat,n up.
buick14 Posted June 18, 2017 Report Posted June 18, 2017 Finding good discontinued baits usually ends up being pricy ..I .always hold out for hopes of finding a tackle shop with a bargain bin of discontinued gems ..
manitoubass2 Posted June 18, 2017 Report Posted June 18, 2017 A local shop here Has tonnes, shoot me a pm if ya want me to grab some. There not too pricey either, I think around $6 a bag
GBW Posted June 18, 2017 Report Posted June 18, 2017 I have access to molds and can pick colours but when that's the case BULK orders are my only choice sadly.
AKRISONER Posted June 19, 2017 Report Posted June 19, 2017 yamamoto also makes something very very similar as well. In all sizes right down to a 1.5 incher...killed crappies on em with the drop shot
manitoubass2 Posted June 19, 2017 Report Posted June 19, 2017 Will those baits sink? On a jig yeah, but the bait itself floats
misfish Posted June 19, 2017 Report Posted June 19, 2017 Will those baits sink? The ones I posted I will use those large single hooks. Thats it. They will sink slightly, but thats the idea. I jerk and pause them. Cant wait to hit a new water hole. From all my reports received, it could be a real fish work out.

I fish em on a widegap hook Texas rigged and it's a wicked mid summer bait
misfish Posted June 19, 2017 Report Posted June 19, 2017 The hooks in the picture I posted. They are 4" long. The baits are 8 " long.

jimmer Posted June 20, 2017 Report Posted June 20, 2017 I use the zoom brand because they sink with only a single wide gap hook. I find the yamamoto are way to soft and get torn apart in heavy cover. The 3 X stand up great, but not good for me if they don't sink. Adding a weigh is not an option in heavy cover. So many different baits to choose from. LOL
huzzsaba Posted June 20, 2017 Report Posted June 20, 2017 A local shop here Has tonnes, shoot me a pm if ya want me to grab some. There not too pricey either, I think around $6 a bag is this shop anywhere near hwy 17? Thought I could pick some up when I am headed to the west in a few weeks.
manitoubass2 Posted June 20, 2017 Report Posted June 20, 2017 (edited) is this shop anywhere near hwy 17? Thought I could pick some up when I am headed to the west in a few weeks. I forget what it's called, I'll look into it. It's kinda a ATV store/bassproshops retailer. It's in fort frances Where you heading? Edited June 21, 2017 by manitoubass2
206 Posted June 21, 2017 Report Posted June 21, 2017 I had some of these, most "melted" when they came into contact with other plastics

It's in fort frances Where you heading? tor-edm. but I see fort france is too far south. May have to buy them online. I like the fact that they float. Thanks though Edited June 21, 2017 by huzzsaba

jjcanoe Posted June 22, 2017 Author Report Posted June 22, 2017 Been on the road without WiFi for a bit lol, thanks for all the replies. Not looking for something similar, I've got tackle bags full of similar, I was looking for exactly the same. Wide gap hooks with a bit of lead on the shank will run these a bit under the surface, rigged seedless, you can put them through thick pads or weeds or a no weight hook you can fish it as a top water.
Chrispy Posted June 22, 2017 Report Posted June 22, 2017 Give Bill a call at Wally's Bait in Windsor....I thought I seen packages of them when I was there last month.....he lives around Strathroy area so if he has them maybe you can meet up with him around London.... Chrispy!
