Zoom verses Fishstalker, I am sponserd by fishstalker and I fished zoom for years. I have had show’s where I had both on the table and ask people to tell me if they could tell the difference, and they could not. We do not use scent’s or salts in our plastic, which makes it more durable and allows you the flexibilty to scent them. Fishstalker is a small company out of Laurens SC. you can see our products on fishstalkertackle.com.

Zoom all the way and i have some yum also and some Sizmic toads, they are ok but i like the zoom horny toad better. never heard of fishstalker.

fishstalker is just a small company, looks like they buy their lures from a bulk supplier (DJ) then re-sell for profit… kinda like alluring baits does

Zoom is almost all i use but i do have some Yum

Net Biat and Strike King plastics about 75% of the time. Zoom the other 25%

Maybe one of these years I’ll make a good enough bait to make twitch’s list

I doubt it

Zoom all the way!!! They don’t cost you an arm & leg & I’ve had really good luck with them. I use some YUM products…mainly their Wolly Bug soft plastics…well, that’s the only YUM soft plastic I use. Now, if Wally world has some Culprit or any other quality soft plastics on clearance…I don’t hesitate to pick some up at the discounted price! I like being loyal to a brand…but let’s face it…the United States Marine Corps doesn’t pay that good!

i used some seizmic toads a little, late last year and they did fairly well. For toads i use the zoom horny toads the most. in order here is what i use for toads:

zoom horny toads
Mad Tommy
Lake Fork toad
Legrande
Seizmic

I have confidence in all of them. Caught the most on the Horny toad. Caught the fish in my signature on the Legrande i think or the horny.

Zoom, Yum, & Powerbait are the brands I use & have the most of. I do love me some BBK sticks though & I’m gonna have to fish that small finesse worm he sent me, that got pushed to the back of my plastics bag & I didn’t get to use last year.

zoom or fish stalker???? i am a big fan of zoom myself. i think fish stalker has to tough or rubber which makes it harder for me 2 set hook on a fish. Whats yalls input?

Never had a problem with zoom plastics or any other brand being hard.  Try weedless rig where the hook point in on the side of the plastic rather than through it’s center line.  Think of it as an offset weedless rig.  The less material the hook point has to go through better.

oops forget this
