Super User scaleface Posted April 4, 2021 Super User Posted April 4, 2021 ... with the hook hidden inside the slot instead of out of the back ? Quote
Bubba 460 Posted April 4, 2021 Posted April 4, 2021 NO~ but it would be about the same as putting a TRD on a Ned rig backwards or sideways it wouldn't make any difference to a bass, he'd still eat it. I mean look at wacky rig, who did that! I hooked a 6" lizard wacky style and caught a bass on the first cast just to prove something to a guy. I called it a "lacky". I've caught bass on just a hook. 1 Quote
Super User Deleted account Posted April 5, 2021 Super User Posted April 5, 2021 No, but I'm sure it would work. I'm thinking it may make it top heavy and better for a drop rather than a faster swimming action, but probably not enough difference to matter. One way to find out. Some MD striped bass guys fish them upside down on jig heads, but they tend to do a bunch of superfluous stuff. 1 Quote
huZZah Posted April 5, 2021 Posted April 5, 2021 I do it all the time. Catches fish. Just like right side up. Usually I do it when I’m not paying attention, then I notice it when I caught something and am re-rigging. 2 Quote
Big Swimbait Posted April 5, 2021 Posted April 5, 2021 Great technique if you want to rip it across the surface like a fleeing baitfish! 2 Quote
Super User jimmyjoe Posted April 5, 2021 Super User Posted April 5, 2021 1 hour ago, huZZah said: I do it all the time. Ditto. I started rigging it that way because I thought the hookset might be easier. It's not. But it can, if you're careful, make the rig more weedless. That's important to me. jj 1 Quote
GetFishorDieTryin Posted April 5, 2021 Posted April 5, 2021 Everyone throws super flukes here. Sometimes I rig them sideways to get a different look. 1 Quote
fishingtx Posted April 5, 2021 Posted April 5, 2021 never tried it doesn't sound like it would work but I do fish flukes all the time Quote
jgordon Posted April 6, 2021 Posted April 6, 2021 I have done it a handful of times to try new I think might have caught one fish so far. I need to try it again. Fluke one of my favorite baits in the soft plastic category. Quote
Super User soflabasser Posted April 7, 2021 Super User Posted April 7, 2021 Zoom Super Flukes are one of my favorite soft plastics to fish with. Quote
