How long do they normally last that way?

I tried this for the first time a few weeks ago and caught several bass.  The action is incredible.  Just like the banjo minnow. hehe.

 

I used a CPS ring to increase the lifespan of the fluke.

Dang, I'm going to try this now. Thanks for posting.

 

Question, using an Owner CPS and the hook through the body you go through quite a few Flukes. Hooking it this way, how many do you go through? Does the CPS not get pulled out as much?

I do weightless, but I get really great movement on a Slider Spider Slider Heads by Charlie brewer. I twitch and let fall a little twitch/jerk etc.

I made a trade today which consisted of giving up a few of my soft plastics and an old lure I never used for a small rod and reel that is going to my stepson. Along wit this I received several flukes in white. In an attempt to actually catch something today, I was at a new pond this time, I decided to Texas rigged one with a red ewg 4/0 hook with a pegged weight. Not to sure of the weight but I think it was about 1/4 or 3/8 oz. As usual I didn't catch anything, so how do you usually fish a fluke. Weighted, weightless, Texas or wacky? What works for you? Also, pond was fairly clear with A LOT of grass.

Peggged 3/8 oz?   As you learned, distance doesn't mean jack, if you can't get bit.  You killed all that is good about the fluke.  I generally throw it weightless, or on a scrounger.  On those concessional rare times that I feel the need to put a weight out front, it will only be a (unpegged) 1/16 cylinder (mojo) that will take it into and through the grass.

Is that last one a zoom fluke in California 420 color? I just picked up a bag of those at Ollies discount store for $2 a bag.

The CPS stays intact.  I only got three fish off the fluke that day and it was my first time fluke fishing but it seemed to hold up very well.

My fluke tech. is:

 

Buy  a bag, carry them around in the boat for a while. Use one bait out of the bag when nothing else I do is working, not catch much on them, give the rest of the bag away to a buddy or toss them in the trash. Yeah, not a big fluke fan or user.

I have some pearl white flukes and so far the most bites I got on them was at night.
