Favorite Non - Weightless Super Fluke Application ?

[ChrisD46]

Looking for new Super Fluke applications (besides the traditional weightless EWG 4/0 method) ... What are your other methods for using a Super Fluke besides  weightless on a EWG hook ?

[Bluebasser86]

Screwlock in the nose, nail weight in the head, EWG wacky hook in the screwlock.

When my flukes get too beat up to stay on the hook, I use them as trailers.

This is one time deal for me, weighted wacky hook on the head. Fishing drop off 15-20’. It should work popping along rocky bottom. I don’t like fishing fluke any other ways but regular weightless.

Carolina Rig.  I think the gliding and darting action of a fluke works great for this.

Thanks for replies to date -if a scrounger head is mentioned then a super fluke  chatterbait trailer should work too .

On an underspin.

hopping a nose-rigged fluke on a weighted wacky hook along the bottom? is that what you're saying, James?

 

This is the sort of creativity I come here for.

Last year I switched from Zoom Super Flukes to Z-Man Scented Jerk Shadz because they are far more durable. When retrieved for clear water smallies with a "snap" and a pause, expect it to be slammed a foot under the surface although you should be alert for the occasional fish that will suck it in.

 

Since Z-Man's ElaZtech floats, glue a Zappu tungsten weight into the belly slot.

Something that we do in my area is fish them on a small ball head jig. Rather than swimming it you hop it, let it hit bottom and pop the rod and repeat. The smallmouth will kill it like that when they won't even look at it when fished traditionally.

Wacky...play with o-ring location and nail lead.

*Good Idea … The VMC "Drop Dead" EWG weighted  hook could be used as well .

I saw this pic before I read who it's originator was,

but I already knew in advance who's name I was going to see

@Will Wetline

I love this one, but unless I'm throwing this one pretty deep (which as I recall you are) unfortunately so do the pike here, especially the smaller ones.

And they bite them right off - every time.

Yes, I used wacky jig head because I don’t have any small weight with big enough hook. 
 

I tried it on chatterbait a few time and it only last a fish or two.

Tungsten nail weights (expensive) or Lunker City lead nail weights ( cheap) work good.

Chatterbait and spinnerbait trailers

Might not have enough room to insert nail weight to the weight you want on Fluke.

Want to try a super fluke on a Ned head. I was holding one by the nose with the tail straight up. The tail stands up pretty well. I am a new guy but here is what I'm thinking. If it floats or has a tail rigid enough to not flop over, I am going to try it on a Ned rig. If it's little and really "wiggley", drop shot. That fluke might be the first thing this season to find it's way onto a Ned head.

Caught my PB with a White Pearl Fluke, T-rigged with a quarter oz bullet, but fished it like a jerk bait with very quick pauses. Unpegged. A foot or two beneath the surface in maybe 6 feet of water, from shore. Caught a lot that way last year.

Three years ago those first few sentences would have been complete gibberish to me
