Super User Darren. Posted March 5, 2016 Super User Posted March 5, 2016 Two very different baits, but hands down for me, the Trick worm catches more. Now the Zoom Tiny Fluke, that catches everything. 1 Quote
Super User NorcalBassin Posted March 5, 2016 Super User Posted March 5, 2016 Trick worm but the fluke is more fun to fish (IMO) 1 Quote
Wprich Posted March 5, 2016 Posted March 5, 2016 Only luck I've had with a fluke is pairing it with a fish head spin, but it's hard to keep the stripers/hybrids off it then. Quote
Super User flyfisher Posted March 5, 2016 Super User Posted March 5, 2016 For me it is the fluke. I catch more on the fluke but that is probably because i fish it more often but really they both are about the same for me in weightless applications. Weighted applications the trick worm produces more for me and that is usually how i fish them, 1 Quote
Super User Catt Posted March 5, 2016 Super User Posted March 5, 2016 I would not vote against either one! 3 Quote
Super User BassinLou Posted March 5, 2016 Super User Posted March 5, 2016 Both will catch you a mess of fish, and both can be fished in a variety of ways. You will be doing yourself a disservice if you didn't have these 2 baits in your tackle box. 4 Quote
livemusic Posted March 5, 2016 Posted March 5, 2016 A weightless fluke is an bait with a truly amazing action, just looks irresistible. I have caught more fish on it than anything else once I discovered it. But I like trick worm, too, and have had success, for sure. I will fish it more now just to give it a chance, because I naturally grab a fluke on impulse by default because it is so effective. 1 Quote
Mike2841 Posted March 5, 2016 Posted March 5, 2016 If I could only take one bait with me it would be the trick worm 1 Quote
S. Sass Posted March 5, 2016 Posted March 5, 2016 Worm by far for me. I keep trying the fluke but I must not be holding my rod right it's not catching fish like my other baits by a wide margin. Quote
Super User Chris at Tech Posted March 5, 2016 Super User Posted March 5, 2016 I think the trick worm is more versatile. 1 Quote
0119 Posted March 5, 2016 Posted March 5, 2016 I fish the fluke more often and catch more fish on it because of that but I think the trick worm will catch more fish. Its better at inactive and neutral fish and the fish are more often either one of those that active or in a state that they will react to a fluke. Quote
David Whitaker Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 Here in Florida both will catch scores of bass and it's honestly a confidence issue. I feel like I can fish a fluke more versatile and year-round than a trick worm. Quote
livemusic Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 BTW, anyone who is not catching on weightless fluke... you may be fishing too fast. You don't have to fish it uber slow but just cast it, let it sink, and watch your line. One might run off with it. Then twitch and pause, twitch and pause until you get out of the cover (I throw at cover mostly) and then reel back and repeat to another target. EDIT: And there is another technique to fish it fast with twitches, but that is not my regular method. Quote
I.rar Posted March 12, 2016 Posted March 12, 2016 Super fluke Jr hands down. It's one of my top 3 baits of all time. I've tried looking for substitutes but nothing comes close to its simplicity. Quote

I've tried looking for substitutes but nothing comes close to its simplicity. How do you fish a fluke jr? What rod/reel and line and do you fish it weightless or not? Any particular color you like for the junior? Quote
I.rar Posted March 13, 2016 Posted March 13, 2016 Ml/f st Croix avid x with a Sahara 1000 15# power pro and 6# floroclear leader. Weightless t rigged is how I usually go but you can c rig, split shot, drop shot, jig head and probably more that I'm forgetting. Baby bass is my first pick for the Jr. Quote
Super User N Florida Mike Posted March 13, 2016 Super User Posted March 13, 2016 I've caught many more fish on the fluke but I have fished it a lot more.Lately I've started fishing the worm and done well with it. Quote
