Jraut98 Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 What is the best jig head for flukes and what size fluke should I buy for a 1/4 ounce jig head. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted July 8, 2014 Super User Posted July 8, 2014 Flukes are fished best weightless in shallow water; light weight C-rig deeper. http://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-videos/how-to-fish-the-double-fluke-rig.html 2 Quote
Mr. BattleArmor Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 Agreed, I never use a weight when fishing a fluke, and it's been one of my most successful baits. Quote
Jraut98 Posted July 8, 2014 Author Posted July 8, 2014 I would fish them without a jig head but I'm fishing in deeper water. So what are your favorite jig heads Quote
EvanT123 Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 I have to respectfully disagree with you guys that don't fish flukes on jig heads. I like to bite about a half inch off the head and use 1/4oz minnow head style jig heads and bounce and jig the flukes in rocks and current. This has been particularly successful when the river is high and muddy using a jet black fluke. This tactic seems to yield some larger fish. The fish below was caught in clearer water using a baitfish color fluke and jig head. Quote

Zoom flukes were designed for jigs heads (no cuts in the body). The regular zoom fluke works great on 1/8-3/8 jig heads for every species you can think of. One year when the walleye were feeding on big shad, that is all they would hit! And we caught a lot of smallies and largemouth mixed in as well. I use the tiny fluke on 1/8 heads for walleye but its a pretty small presentation unless you are finessing. Quote
Jraut98 Posted July 9, 2014 Author Posted July 9, 2014 I'm using them to catch stripers what size jig head should I get and what size fluke Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted July 9, 2014 Global Moderator Posted July 9, 2014 I pour my own heads I use for swimbaits that works very well for flukes also. It's a small casting jig head with a 3/0 hook, 1/8, 3/16, and 1/4 ounce sizes. Quote
dam0007 Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 I know someone else that does this. Remover half a inch off the head and jig it. Flukes and keitech fluke style bait as well. Works for him. I've been unsuccessful like that with the flukes. Any how I use the gamakatsu weighted 4/0 hook. So to the OP to answer your question, I have no answer lol Quote
