buttonreel Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 What size and what kind of hook should I use for my super flukes? Will regular "worm" hooks work? Quote
Super User MarkH024 Posted April 25, 2014 Super User Posted April 25, 2014 I like to use a 5/0 EWG on Super. Regular fluke 4/0 EWG. Weightless for me. Quote

Global Moderator Mike L Posted April 25, 2014 Global Moderator Posted April 25, 2014 3/0 or 4/0 off set straight shank hook or 1/0 2/0 circle hook if nose hooking. All depending on size Mike 1 Quote
mod479 Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 For a full size super fluke try a 3/0 gamakatsu skip gap to texas rig it (weightless). 1/0 gammie dropshot hook for nose hooking. When I want to fish a fluke deep I use a belly weighted EWG, had good luck with the davis baits X swims. 1 Quote
Lazz Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 4/0 Owner Twistlock Do you find a changes the action? Quote
Stingray23 Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 I use a 3/0 EWG Gamakatsu. Anything bigger and I find it restricts the action and sinks too fast. 1 Quote
The Guy Posted April 26, 2014 Posted April 26, 2014 3/0 EWG gamakatsu I've tried the offset shank worm hooks but my hook ups weren't very good 1 Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted April 26, 2014 Super User Posted April 26, 2014 3/0 extra wide gap. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted April 26, 2014 Super User Posted April 26, 2014 I generally nose hook them with a 1/0 Gam. wide gap finesse hook. If I rig them weed less, I'll use a 5/0 wide gap plus from Owner. Quote
curtis9 Posted April 26, 2014 Posted April 26, 2014 i use Trokar worm hooks. It's a standard offset shank round bend hook. I prefer these over the EWG hooks for flukes. Quote

Super User J Francho Posted April 26, 2014 Super User Posted April 26, 2014 I do think it inhibits the action, which is why I usually nose hook them on a smaller hook. Everything's a trade off. Action becomes secondary to getting caught in the weeds anyway. Quote
Super User iceintheveins Posted April 26, 2014 Super User Posted April 26, 2014 3/0 or 4/0 EWG Gammy for full size, 1/0 EWG gammy for the junior, and a 7/0 EWG for the mag fluke. Quote
Zebco202 Posted April 26, 2014 Posted April 26, 2014 4/0 EWG off set hooks. I'm not brand particular, I use Eagle Claw and Bass Pro brands the most. Never had a hook up problem. Quote
Drewski73 Posted April 26, 2014 Posted April 26, 2014 2/0 Gammy ewg for a fluke. I like the almost suspending glide I get with this hook, and I dont miss many so Ive never changed. Quote
EvanT123 Posted April 26, 2014 Posted April 26, 2014 Put me down for 3/0 for the super fluke and a 1/0 worm hook or 1 split shot for the tiny flukes. Quote
Super User SirSnookalot Posted April 27, 2014 Super User Posted April 27, 2014 What size and what kind of hook should I use for my super flukes? Will regular "worm" hooks work? I use regular 4/0 worm hooks, I prefer the thinner wire ones. I don't nose hook them, I'll use a jig head. Quote
Big Swimbait Posted April 27, 2014 Posted April 27, 2014 When not fishing weightless, I love the Dangleberry Rig if you can still find it. The sliding weight gives the Fluke something the fish may not have seen, when you twitch/jerk it. Can't post the pic for some reason, but Google Image to see it. Quote
stk Posted April 27, 2014 Posted April 27, 2014 I have used bass pro xps brand 4/0 off set round bend worm hook and 3/0 ewg. I also thread all the way through to the split on super flukes. Might have to try the nose hook and jig head techniques. Quote
Super User lmbfisherman Posted April 27, 2014 Super User Posted April 27, 2014 2/0 or 3/0 Owner Offset hooks and will use a 1/0 Gamakatsu for nose hooking. Quote
