catchnm Posted October 31, 2010 Posted October 31, 2010 He calls it a double Zulu, but it's a "donkey rig" alright. I use Super Flukes for mine. Rig 'em the same way using a 4/0 EWG hook. Doubles are not only possible but probable. http://il.youtube.com/watch?v=8F21Ss3moZU&feature=related Quote
Super User BASSclary Posted November 1, 2010 Super User Posted November 1, 2010 I use the rig for regular flukes in baby bass during the spawn, except instead of body hooking them with EWG's I nose-hook them with gammie finesse hooks. Quote
Super User NorcalBassin Posted November 1, 2010 Super User Posted November 1, 2010 Love that rig, especially when you can find some aggressive schools. Quote
Super User Sam Posted November 1, 2010 Super User Posted November 1, 2010 I have tried this setup and do not like it. It is heavy and the two flukes get twisted together. But if you use it and it works then enjoy it and send pics. Quote

Super User webertime Posted November 1, 2010 Super User Posted November 1, 2010 I use this rig with the back Fluke mounted on a lightly weighted swimbait hood. This reduces the twisting a bit and covers a bit more water. I have it ready on the deck when I'm pitching weedbeds in case the Bass start crashing the baitfish above the weeds. Or when fishing Smallies and my partner gets one on, I'll toss it near his fight because of the usual pack of chasers we have up here. Works like a charm. The only issue I have is Northerns biting one off, thus you have to re-rig. I did have an enormous Northern take both and just left me with a bit of line. Quote
Shad_Master Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 For you guys that fish this rig, does it work better in the Spring, the Fall or is it an all year technique? Quote
catchnm Posted November 2, 2010 Author Posted November 2, 2010 I've fished it with Senkos, Slug-Go's, Fin-S-Fish, Bass Assassins, Fluke Jr., and Super Fluke. Twist is an issue but with the top swivel floating up and down the line it's an easy and quick fix. The Senkos drop further quicker but the Slug-Gos drop the fastest. I let either of these hit bottom and then start a slow twitch, twitch, pause cadence. Fish hit on the pauses usually. Fluke types will settle real lightly on top of bass grass beds and not bury into them. It's a great rig and gets fished a lot on my boat. Quote
Super User .ghoti. Posted November 2, 2010 Super User Posted November 2, 2010 The same rig, with only one swivel will twist up a lot less. Tie a swivel on one end of a short piece of line and a hook on the other. You need about 10" of line between hook and swivel. Put the main line through the swivel and tie on a hook. The swivel, with attached leader and hook will slide up the line and back down to the hook. This rig will give you a fewer problems. It works all year, if you have the patience required to fish it deep. Quote
