Flukes look so insane in the water. Like i swear if i was bass id fall for it 🤷‍♂️

Wanna blow your mind? Rig the fluke SIDEWAYS! The bait will actually glide on it's side farther than rigging the conventional way and look like a dying bait fish. Also don't throw away your torn up flukes till you try this first! Rig your torn up baits WACKY style with a small circle hook and short twitch it then let it die... You can thank me later 😅

I was about to argue with keeping the eye out of the bait...then I remembered I'm talking to the master of flukes 😅

So true! If you hook it straight, it has the best action of any lure out there but if you hook it crooked it just spins, twists up your line and looks dumb. 😄

This is great information. I always thought that the Texas rig had the hook come out then back in. Your set up looks so much better

A fluke is very versatile in different ways of fishing it.

You got me to fishing flukes with an offset round bend hook, instead of an EWG. Years ago watching your channel got me rigging them that way...

Thanks for the tips pops!! Center of the fluke!!

that’s fluking crazy 😆

I find the best way to rig a fluke or senko is to rig it straight sure, but only lightly skin hook it by... just ....burying the barb in the belly. The hook pops out on the strike and the fish basically hooks itself - the lure also lasts longer. Thanks for sharing

You can even let it sink to the bottom and pull it up a few inches and let it set. It's what I call dead sticking

Love your choice of hook! Too many lost fish on a EWG hook

I like the traditional way, but I like the banjo style with the fluke also. And sometimes I just reel it in traditional style and tap my rod with my index finger at the same time.

Make sure to really set the hook! I would use a hook, with a larger gap for more surface area, for when the fish bites. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Use the fluke upside down sometimes. Clear open water weightless on a 5/0 ewg. They smoke it.

With the stubble he looks like a happier, fatter Arthur Morgan! 😂 Lenny my boi!!

It also helps to throw a bass assassin fluke. Zoom flukes are good for trailers and c rigs. Weightless, you can't beat the bass assassin!

I always offset hook it. Same for floating worms and a lot of stuff. Catch more fish with my tips. More action more simulation of a dying fish.

Thank you! What size hook are you using?

Thank you!

Great video thanks 😊

Run the hook down the back with hook point facing down you will increase your hookups

A straight fluke is a happy fluke.

It’s amazing how hard something so simple can be 😅😂

Can't say I've ever tried keeping the hook eye out (from being burried) in the fluke - might have to give it a whirl - a time and a place for everything I typically always use a 3/0 gamagatsu if i want the zoom fluke to stall/suspend/twitch in place & for largemouth thanks to a guide in Texas, keep the staight hook (technically offset like in the video) burried (so much more versatile with any kind lf weeds/sticks/cover)

Do you ever use non-slip loop knot for flukes or crankbaits or is it too much action? Thanks and love your channel

Or use better flukes. Use the 6th sense flush---best fluke ive ever used (im not affiliated or sponsored by them) but it has a split fin on top where the hook tip rests, split down underside to go in, and side fins and a sideways fin on tail. The flush does something no other fluke does except maybe the dolive fluke style bait--- that is, as it falls, it stays perfectly horizontal, and it shimmys just like a senko does. So it can be fished where u just let it fall and shimmy, or you can fish it like a soft jerkbait, and when you pause between jerks, it shimmys.

I stuff the eye in the bait and it gives it's type of action that makes it pop out the water like a feeding bait fish.

I like going a bit deeper so i can bury my knot in the fluke head. But center is important regardless, especially runniny flouro, mono, or poly. Itll line twist if not rig centered

short, sweet, and simple

Thanks, Go Dawgs!!!!

Use ewg hooks for a wider glide and a faster sink

I litterally fish this same bait for so many years. Just caught a 25 inch brown trout in a shit creek with a identical white one. I used to rig mine the same way but eventually switched to the screw in hooks a few years back. Also recently started fishing them deep with weighted hooks and have had success.

Have you tried split rings on the eye of the hook, for even more twitching action? I’ve had great luck with it, and a limetreuse color fluke.

I love fishing a jighead fluke for stripe and hybrid

Great tips

Thank you sir!!!!

I drop the eye right bellow the bait so the hook sits further back and ive had better luck. Its also more weedless and catches less debris from the topwater.

Don’t forget to dip it in the color stuff

Been rigging these like this since 2004.

Do you throw it bare? Or a bullet or some weight? Can’t use anything to light where I’m at to much wind.

old Bass Assassin setup, awesome

It would be so much easier to take you seriously if that hat had an A on it!!! Roll Tide, great videos!!!

What type of rod would be best for fluke?

My first boat was named ‘Fluken Crazy’ the fluke was my favorite bait but I don’t fish much anymore. 😢

Been doin it wrong for years man Thank you

Hey did you guys get through those tornados and storms ok? I thought ur close to eufaula

Thanks for sharing 👍

Can someone explain why having the eye out of the bait is better?

Hey, so I was watching this on the water and was curious. Why do you use the swivel? To prevent line twists?

What sizi is that hook? Nice

Ok now what do I do about my small tag end grabbing all the grass cause I left the eye of the hook out ?

Do you like an ewg or straight shank better ?

First off, I would have went with the EWG.

What does keeping the eye of the hook out of the fluke do? Does that effect the action somehow?

I noticed the video cut. Didn’t get it on the first time, eh? That’s ok, most people don’t haha.

What size hooks would you recommend to use on a fluke

I'm just the opposite. I like nothing but line coming out of my fluke. Otherwise it'll catch vegetation

Wow a Texas rig

I'm a master of the fluke on lake of the Ozarks in July first part of August when it looks like it's raining at night on the lake but it's all small shad same color same hook Texas rigged minus any weights, but I found it better to completely cover the fluke all the way past the knot. FYI I LIVED HERE MY WHOLE LIFE AND I'VE HELPED B.A.S.S. PROS RUN THE TOURNEY HERE

Go Dawgs!!!!!

Go Dawgs!

Thank You so much. I screw that up all the time.

SPOT ON ADVICE!!! From an average fisherman & mistake maker 😆

I need an explanation on where you buy a full pack of straight flukes! I have had to buy 5-6 packs to make one full pack that weren't all kinked up 😂

Just hook and the fluke no weight??

👏👍🙂 ❤

The tip of my fluke is always bent and part of the hook is sticking out. Always caught fish with it but it isnt oretty like yours. Nor is it weedless.

go Dawgs

I thought that too but just depends on where you are fishing if you are in a lake that's getting fished a lot then yeah id rig it as perfect as you can but I've fished over 100 ponds in kansas and missouri and now I've realized it doesn't matter how ya rig something if you are fishing a pond they will take anything.

Boy look like Kevin Spacey

I've thrown pieces of tail and caught monsters on good days. Other days it didn't matter what I did.

Go DAWGS!!

Been trying to reach you. Did you sale all your spinning rods. I want a med heavy. 7foot or bigger

Where was this video at 20 years ago when I was trying to figure this out.?? I would get SO Mad 🤬🤬🤬 rigging these things getting twisted line and cussing. Of course now after rigging thousands of these I can do it perfect where you get the dart left/right with every snap of the line.

Real

Caught tones of bass and my PB speckled trout on a ZOOM Fluke in (white ice) color. I’ll continue to use em !

I'm the real fluke master.

I’ve caught multiple huge bass with the eye in the hook , sooo don’t know what this dude is talking about

I have to disagree with going in with the hook at a DOWNWARD angle. Always go straight in with no angle at all. When rigged 'Tex-posed', if you put the hook in at a DOWNWARD angle, the hook point comes out the back at an UPWARD angle, making it more prone to snagging. When you put the hook straight in, the hook point rides perfectly parallel to the fluke's back, making it not only more weedless, but also more natural in the water. I've been throwing flukes since 1988; you're wrong on this one!

Thank you….I’ll try it an let yano

A fluke is a flounder. So, what's your game?

Not named fluke master for no reason

Love this bait, same color too, slay them pigs

Crooked 😆

Weightless? Hmmm

Just wacky rig it

Absolutely, if the hook is crooked, the fish will not bite.

WAR EAGLE

Say is your name Freddy? Austin asking.

Hook it on the side. Better action.

Should i not put these on jigs? Also wish me luck cuz shits hard! 😂

and stay away from the damn EWG hooks with flukes!

Or just buy hooks with screw locks and boom problem solved

Way to go Capt. Obvious...😂

They make the hook at an angle because that’s the natural way someone would hook it

It’s not that important just go fishing 😂

Your good I’m just a lil better nice try

Thank you so much And Go Dawgs
