Zoom Flukes

Dateline: 9/20/99
Ben sent me the following story and question:
I have a good one for you. The other day I was fishing bass in the shallows. I noticed a man about 20 yards down fishing the same. Last time I was out here I was catching most of the fish and he wasn't. But that wasn't the case this time. I had only been fishing for about 10 minutes and he had pulled in three small mouths and had his line cut by a northern-pike.
I on the other hand had caught nothing. I was using the same lures as before, but couldn't really make out what he was using. After about 20 minutes he was leaving and pulled up along side of me. "If you really want to nail em, try one of these." He through over a pearl looking snake-worm. Its a Fluke he said after I had asked what it was. He showed me how to bait it and left. I started catching bass on my 3rd cast.
My question is. Do you know where I can buy this product or who makes it?
My answer to Ben:
Zoom makes Flukes - soft jerkbaits. They are sold in most stores here in Ga but Zoom is a Ga company. Walmart and Kmart both carry them. I like the pearl color, but several other colors are good, too.
You can get them on the net or mail order thru many tackle stores, including Bass Pro Shops. I have links to many online tackle stores in my list of links under tackle.
