I tried fishing a Fluke rig for the first time this weekend. I used a metallic purple super fluke on a weightless Texas rig. I picked up 2 decent fish pretty quickly. Then it kind of died off as the sun came up and it got brighter out. I'm thinking of trying a different color. The water is semi clear, about 4-6' of visibility.

I'm wondering what everyone's favorite color is based on water clarity

Thanks, Todd

The fish have yet to convince me that I need to carry anything other than watermelon of any variety and smokin shad.

Black, and rarely do I need to use anything else. Hard to explain why but it just does. Also excels at early morning and evening periods.

They make other colors beside albino and pearl?

I'll have to concur with all of the above.  

 

Also, maybe try Tennessee Shad (Black & Gold), good for both clear and semi-clear waters.  Nice shiner color.

also keep an eye out when purchasing if they are the super salt ones or the standard....super salt ones will sink more quickly which depending on the desired presentation could make or break the day.

I like the super salts because they get down a little faster but still have (about) the same erratic action. I don't have to add weight (which usually screws up the action).

I actually think they have better action because it seems like the plastic is softer.  I also agree that adding weight can hurt the action but using a non screw lock weighted hook seems to do ok for me when i use them on rivers where i need to get them down in some current.  I really like the 4/0 1/16th oz ones but they are tough to find in stores so i usually have to buy them online

Been having a lot of luck lately in a primarily bluegill forage tiny lake/large pond with a Arkansas Shiner Super Fluke Jr. It's not dark, it's not light, it's.... pretty perfectly in between.
