Personally if I want to weight a fluke, I either use a belly weighted hook or I Carolina rig it. Quote

I like belly weighted hooks but this guy is like The Godfather of this dam he knows it like the back of his hand 1 Quote
Super User TOXIC Posted March 27, 2018 Super User Posted March 27, 2018 I have some of exactly what you are looking for but can't for the life of me remember where I got them. I pulled them out in desperation while in Wisconsin last year when I couldn't get bit on a dropshot or Ned rig. I put a 5" Yamamoto Pro Senko on it and drug it down dropoffs. Got all my fish on it. Here is SpotSticker Jig Head Magnum 4/0 1/8oz 5 pack but it is 1/8. I'm pretty sure that will work as well. 1 Quote
Super User OkobojiEagle Posted March 27, 2018 Super User Posted March 27, 2018 nail weights offer a great deal of control over how the fluke glides and falls... shank weighted wide-gap swim bait hooks also work well. oe Quote
SDoolittle Posted March 27, 2018 Posted March 27, 2018 Why don't you ask "the Godfather" what jig heads he recommends? Quote

SDoolittle Posted March 27, 2018 Posted March 27, 2018 Let me rephrase that... If he told you what to use, why don't you ask him where to get them? 2 Quote
Super User Choporoz Posted March 27, 2018 Super User Posted March 27, 2018 I thought I got some from Dave's Tournament Tackle, but I only see 1/8 on their web site right now. You may want to give them a call. While you're at it, try his other finesse heads....DTT heads, mojo weights, Owner Ultrahead, and Charlie Brewer heads are pretty much all the finesse terminal stuff I need. You might try an ultrahead, but I doubt the gap will be enough for a fluke...maybe a jr fluke Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted March 28, 2018 Global Moderator Posted March 28, 2018 Just peg a 1/16oz bullet weight to the top of a 4/0 hook. Quote
Brad in Texas Posted March 28, 2018 Posted March 28, 2018 A weighty issue! Ha! Damiki Pandla Jig Heads come in a 1/16th oz. and 4/0 hook, among other sizes. Brad Quote
