    Bass Tackle Depot or The Tackle Trap... Zoom swimming flukes work well and are very reasonably priced. They have good action and i kinda like the solid body compared to hollow body swimbaits when rigged on a jig head. I like Hammer Heads cause I had some but mose swimbait heads should work fine.

    Besides the 2 i listed Many, if not most, board sponsors have great options! I just know these 2 carry swimming flukes which I found to work well on a jig head and they're cheap

    On a 5 bait 'bama rig - use 4 mini-dippers or smaller swimming flukes on the outside drops. Grubs will work as well. On the longer center drop - use a small Yum money minnow. They'll be focused on the back bait - it's the one that needs to be the most realistic. No need to spend a lot on painted jigheads. I just run unpainted 1/8oz on the outside heads & 1/4oz on the middle - all with 5/0 hooks. Just make sure the jig heads are medium to lighter wire - you will get hung up and it's easier to re-bend a hook as lose the whole rig.
