Joedodge Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 So I got my first fluke fish yesterday. Pretty neat bait the way it works. Worked awesome in the scummy pond I was fishing I could drag it over the scum moss and drop it into the holes. I was using a zoom super fluke. I was curious on the colors and brands of flukes y'all prefer? Quote

PourMyOwn Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 Arkansas shiner is my favorite color for Zooms. I prefer the Bass Assassins, I like the plastic better-it's heavier and softer. I started making my own about 10 years ago trying to get some that floated, some that would sink. Overall, I think all the brands do a nice job on these, the hook is the most important factor to me. 1 Quote
Super User buzzed bait Posted September 28, 2015 Super User Posted September 28, 2015 i like the zoom flukes. colors are white, albino and disco violet. Quote
Joedodge Posted September 28, 2015 Author Posted September 28, 2015 What kind of hooks are y'all using? Quote
Super User BassinLou Posted September 28, 2015 Super User Posted September 28, 2015 When I throw the fluke, I throw Zoom's: WM seed WM red, Albino, Arkansas shiner, and an Albino color with a light green tint. 3/0 EWG Gami on 12lb Yozuri Hybrid. Quote
Super User MCS Posted September 28, 2015 Super User Posted September 28, 2015 Smokin Silver and baby bass. 4/0 wide gap. Quote
Joedodge Posted September 28, 2015 Author Posted September 28, 2015 Why the wide gap hook? Just curious I was using a round bend worm hook thought it would be ok because of the slit in the bait Quote
Super User MIbassyaker Posted September 28, 2015 Super User Posted September 28, 2015 I use 3/0 EWGs or 3/0 owner twist-locks. A Zoom super fluke jerked and twitched over submerged weeds is one of my very favorite early summer baits. Lots of good colors and they all work, but I'm partial to green pumpkin magic. Quote
Super User MIbassyaker Posted September 28, 2015 Super User Posted September 28, 2015 Why the wide gap hook? Just curious I was using a round bend worm hook thought it would be ok because of the slit in the bait Habit and compatibility with a wide variety of other plastics if I swap it out for something else. I'm sure a round bend would do just fine. Quote
nicksmurf111 Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 I lost one the other day on an albino Super Fluke. I was using, I believe an 4/0 weighted EWG superline hook. But, I'm not sure if I like the thickness of the superline hook. I'm new to this and didn't set the hook well. Quote

Super User buzzed bait Posted September 28, 2015 Super User Posted September 28, 2015 What kind of hooks are y'all using? skip gap hook. keeps the bait on there much easier. Quote

Super User Bankbeater Posted September 28, 2015 Super User Posted September 28, 2015 Watermelon seed, white pearl, baby bass, and houdini are the colors I use most often. I use a 3/0 hook, and most of the time weightless. Quote
Joedodge Posted September 28, 2015 Author Posted September 28, 2015 Awesome guys thank you so much for the advice. I messed with hooking them normal and upside down today to change the action. I've got some watermelon red, white, and baby bass right now Quote
Super User Catt Posted September 28, 2015 Super User Posted September 28, 2015 Look at the watermelon slice, watermelon belly with watermelon neon on top! Quote
Joedodge Posted September 28, 2015 Author Posted September 28, 2015 I'll deffinatly check those out! Quote
Big C Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 Hmmm. If there were only a master of Flukes that could help. 1 Quote
Drew03cmc Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 How far above the bait do you place the swivel? Quote
nicksmurf111 Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 How far above the bait do you place the swivel? What swivel? Quote
Super User MIbassyaker Posted September 29, 2015 Super User Posted September 29, 2015 How far above the bait do you place the swivel? 2-3 feet maybe? I don't use a swivel (I hate hate hate extra hardware) but flukes twirl around a lot, so a swivel can cut down on line twist. Quote
Super User Big Bait Fishing Posted September 29, 2015 Super User Posted September 29, 2015 skip gap hook. keeps the bait on there much easier. i would suggest looking at another hook , those skip gap hooks are garbage , they will flex so bad your fish will slide off the hook !! in my opinion , worst hook ever made ... sorry want a killer hook , take a gander at Owner's Rig - n Hook in 3/0 , super sharp and perfect gap for Zoom 4'' flukes ....

JStevens Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 Watermelon seed worked very well for me in clear water. Quote
