About the Soft Jerkbait (Fluke)
A soft plastic minnow rigged weightless or on a light jighead that darts and glides with every twitch — a nearly perfect imitation of a fleeing baitfish. The Zoom Fluke is the original but every brand makes one. Rig it weightless Texas-style on a 3/0 hook and twitch it across the surface or just below. When shad or minnows are getting crushed on the surface, a white fluke is the most effective thing you can throw.
