I’ve used the Scully Zonker on several stillwater lakes and it’s been effective. The slow retrieve works well and trout respond quickly. It’s a subtle pattern that stands out without being flashy.

Great for targeting trout in quiet waters. The movement mimics a real sculpin and I’ve seen several strikes during a slow drag. Works better than some of the more aggressive lures I’ve tried.

Felt natural in the water. The way it moves on a slow retrieve draws trout in without spooking them. I recommend it for stillwater fishing, especially in early spring.
