Sensation also has a nice ones , locally .
Hot colours are the ORCA and Goldfish colours .

Just a note on the Zoom flukes , they do not have the same vibrations as a Paddletail . Zoom are mainly a Freshwater product , altought they get used and are successfull in the salt too . they also have a 'slit' in them on the bottom for your weedless rigging , I think that the Zoom products are softer that the Mc's . IMO A zoom fluke are better for fishing without a Jighead , If you rig a Fluke on a bass hook , and drop it in the water you will see , the split tail wags from side to side , almost ' breathing' you loose this action when weighting it down .

In comparison with the two product mentioned above , Zoom is a softer plastic, might nog last so long , and are expensive , the MC'c are cheaper , a more bulky profile , It also seem a tad less soft than the Zoom .

Regardless both work for KOB , but I will take the Mc's before the Zoom .
