Siebert Outdoors Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 I bought a fluke mold and have a few ideas on how to improve it. If you guys could improve on the fluke what would you do? Quote
Cory20 Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 Eyes, dorsal fin, anal fins perpendicular to the body to improve glide, vertical forked tail Quote
Zel Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 During the cabin fever months, I modify several baits and have about 6 of each to try out when the weather breaks. Some of my modifications have worked in the past, some have bombed. So far I've come up with two modifications I'm going to make this season. One is cutting off the bottom section (1/4 of the body and the tentacles) of some of my old ripped Fat Ika's that I throw in a bag during the season, and gluing it to the top of my *** Trick Stiks. The other is a Fluke modification. I'm going to cut up some red Tube baits and melt/glue it to a Fluke to form gills (see pic below). Will the modifications be better... who knows and I'll never tell. Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted February 1, 2008 Author Posted February 1, 2008 thats neat. I could pour a blood line in it or just a red belly. Quote
bmadd Posted February 2, 2008 Posted February 2, 2008 I would love for you to mate the old Strike King 3x Zulu and the Zoom Fluke. I love the look and feel and action of the Zoom Fluke but I wish it would float like those old Zulus. A blood line poor or even lateral line pour might be interesting as well Quote
fishingdanderson Posted February 2, 2008 Posted February 2, 2008 I would put the hook pocket on the top like the old Culprit Jerk worms. Dan Quote
Super User Gatorbassman Posted February 2, 2008 Super User Posted February 2, 2008 Clear with a small amount of tiny black and silver glitter. I've been trying to get Zoom to make special run of that color for a few years now. A vertical split tail that's a little larger. Quote

I've been trying to get Zoom to make special run of that color for a few years now. A blood line poor or even lateral line pour might be interesting as well These are two that are very possible. Making them float or sink is too. I was thinking of pouring some with no salt at all so they are very bouyant. then also Making some with real salty bellies and making them sink pretty good. Quote
bmadd Posted February 5, 2008 Posted February 5, 2008 Once you get done with experimenting with some I'd love to get my hand on some. I love to fish flukes. Quote
Low_Budget_Hooker Posted February 5, 2008 Posted February 5, 2008 Personally, I wouldn't screw with perfection Quote
Super User Munkin Posted February 9, 2008 Super User Posted February 9, 2008 I bought a fluke mold and have a few ideas on how to improve it. If you guys could improve on the fluke what would you do? Add salt so it actually sinks without adding a lead weight. Allen Quote
