Zoom Lures 2024
Looking for the big one reply :
Well, decided to visit the Zoom factory today and it was a treat! They are very close to my Grandmother's house and we decided to stop by and check it out. We called ahead and when we walked in it was amazing to see the process of how the lures were made. It was very cool seeing the effort that goes into producing a bag of soft plastics and the people who were responsible for my success with their lures. They gave my brother and I each a hat, shirt, and a pack of unreleased frogs! The lady who showed us around was very kind and knowledgeable about the company. Just a sort of shout out to a great company.
Also, the new frogs are a great addition to the zoom lineup, louder than a horny toad. Can't wait to fish them!

That's my personal favorite lure.
MIbassyaker reply :
I think of Zoom as the standard for how to balance good design, good composition, sheer variety, and number of bodies for the price. Lots of other companies do better on 1 or more of these by sacrificing the others, but I don't think anybody else gets closer to the sweet spot in the middle.

My favorite plastics, great colors and styles.Real close to the house makes it nice too.

Sorry but I don't know if they would want me to do that. I don't know what their intentions are for it or when it will be released, but I will tell you it is a great new addition to the Zoom lineup. If I had to guess it will be ready for retail pretty soon, they were already packaged and ready to go.

LAME SAUCE ! They wouldn't be giving it away if they didnt want people seeing it.

Did a little searching and saw that another site <---(which keeps getting changed to "another site") got them in a couple days ago, you can see them there. A bit pricey for me, although they are airbrushed and made from what feel like a durable soft plastic.
Bankbeater reply :
That sounds like a great trip.

I hate to tell you this but they aren't going to give out some secret prototype baits to 2 random schmoes if they didn't want them out.

I just wanted to tread lightly after they were so generous, if you understand what I'm trying to say. I completely hear what you're saying though. I couldn't find it anywhere online until about an hour ago so wasn't sure if/when they were releasing them.
And the site that has the frogs is L and B ig F ish

I got an email when they went up for sale on their site. Being a big fan & user of Zoom baits, I was intrigued. But $10 for a pack of 3 is a bit too pricey for me. They'd have to be super durable for me to give em a try. Especially since Horny Toads & Ribbit frogs are both so productive for me & much cheaper.
I'm kinda surprised Zoom came out with a bait at this price point. One of their biggest selling points is productive soft plastics at a great price. I'd venture a guess that this is their most expensive soft plastic.

It has legs very similar to the tail on the new "sprinker" . Knowing what some folks are paying for those (or even asking ) ... 10 bucks doesn't seem so bad.
But when you think about 20 trick worms for 5 bucks it makes you wonder....
It's because people are vigorously buying the "high end " stuff.. truck-loads of GY senkos and megabass lures being sold gives the other companies chances to up their prices..
I don't much care for it.
If the trend keeps up, ill just be seining the creek for some fathead minnows and throwing cast-nets at sunfish for my lures 
soflabasser reply :
I do extremely well with the Zoom horny toad so I am looking towards to this new Zoom frog.

Thing is, this new frog looks a lot like the feet on a Stanley Ribbit frog. Pack of 5 of those for $4-$5. And Ribbits work great too.
So unless these Zoom frogs can last 10+ fish, I'm sticking with Ribbit frogs when I want that deeper gurgling noise. When the higher pitched gurgle is needed, Horny Toad gets the nod.
whitwolf reply :
Zoom plastics are a staple in my box. I really like the magnum finesse worm. The one bait I can almost always catch fish with Is a Zoom 4" dead ringer. These days I throw It on a Siebert Outdoors Zenith shakeyhead. I also like to throw the 8" big dead ringer at night or when I know their are above average fish in a particular lake or pond.
Overall, I have more Zoom plastics than anyother brand.
Burntorangefan reply :
Had company over the weekend and my friend's 8-year old wanted to catch a shark. We headed out on Puget Sound with nothing but jigs and Trick Worms because I had nothing set up for saltwater fishing. Within 10 minutes we hooked a 3 foot dogfish on a California Trick Worm. Bonus points because it was Shark Week! I never thought in a million years we'd get lucky like that, but Zoom came thru in the clutch again like they seem to always do. Great products, great people!
