Super User N Florida Mike Posted May 25, 2020 Super User Posted May 25, 2020 I had never caught a fish on one until yesterday. I hadnt used them much before though., although Ive caught thousands of fish on the super fluke. My goal was/is bigger fish, since Ive been in a big fish ( over 6 pounds ) slump for almost a year now. I was pleasantly suprised at the action I got- less than with smaller baits but the fish were somewhat better quality. I T-rigged mine with a 5/0 hook and no weight. Watermelon red color. How do y’all do with them? 1 Quote
Super User Catt Posted May 25, 2020 Super User Posted May 25, 2020 Pretty much what you said ? I don't know why be the Super Fluke out performs the Magnum. I get the same results with Baby Brushhogs over Brushhogs. 1 Quote
NavyVet1204 Posted May 25, 2020 Posted May 25, 2020 I myself have been wanting to try some flukes out because I have never tried them before. I may pick up some of those super flukes. Quote

I get the same results with Baby Brushhogs over Brushhogs. The magnums arent as soft as the super flukes, and they are bigger , which I’m sure is why . But I still caught a 1 pounder on one, and lost a smaller one. Baby brush hogs out fish brush hogs every time- not even close. 18 minutes ago, NavyVet1204 said: I myself have been wanting to try some flukes out because I have never tried them before.

I catch most of my fish on them by just throwing it out and letting it sink to the bottom ( if it makes it that far) . 2 Quote
Hower08 Posted May 25, 2020 Posted May 25, 2020 The biggest difference is the super fluke is made to imitate a smaller size bait with some good life in it. The mag fluke is made to imitate a large almost dead shad which equals an easy large meal to fill a fishes belly with ease. A fluke is one bait I have mastered. I fish super flukes and magnums almost equally. Put your time in with them to learn them and you will put more and bigger fish in the boat on a more consistent basis than you have before 2 Quote
Super User GreenPig Posted May 25, 2020 Super User Posted May 25, 2020 T - rig the magnum with a 7/0 EWG. I'll fish it when bigger baitfish are present or small lake/pond fishing to imitate Bluegill. Quote
Grim_Reaver Posted May 25, 2020 Posted May 25, 2020 I've been eyeing those magnum flukes but haven't pulled the trigger. I just discovered the green albino color in flukes and they look like the perfect baitfish color (greenish back/pearl belly). Quote
Big Swimbait Posted May 26, 2020 Posted May 26, 2020 Whatever you do, don't rig that Mag Fluke on a big shakey head...? 1 Quote
Primus Posted May 28, 2020 Posted May 28, 2020 I personally like the Magnum Caffeine Shad over the Magnum Super Fluke based on my experience with these baits.

Regarding the Mag Fluke are you dead sticking more than the regular size Super Fluke ? Curious about your approach if you don't mind sharing . Quote

You need a rod with some tip. Typically use a 5/0 EWG. I will work it similar to a super fluke. Fish it over mats and let it sink slowly into pockets and cross their eyes when they bite. If it's super thick I will use 50 pound braid if it's more open /clear water I will typically use a 20lb flouro or co polymer leader of even sometimes just fish it on straight 20 pound flouro if it's in a clean open water environment 1 Quote
