boneman Posted August 9, 2005 Posted August 9, 2005 Hmm - I was using spinning gear with 8 lb. mono with the fluke rigged that way and seemed to be getting a fair amount of twist. I haven't tried it since but maybe I will to see if I fare better this time. I like the idea someone posted earlier about putting cut up pieces of clothes hanger in the bait to get it down - I gotta try that as well. Thanks much, Boneman P.s. LBH is right - the action (or lack thereof depending on how you fish it) of these things is nothing short of mezmerizing. Definitely one of the more fun baits to watch - even if you're not catching fisf heh. Quote
Super User Gatorbassman Posted August 9, 2005 Super User Posted August 9, 2005 Here's one more rig to try. I know some of you already do this but it is call the Double Fluke Rig. 1. Cut two leaders one about 24-26 inches long and the other 12-13 inches long. 2. Tie a swivel onto one end of each leader. 3. Put the main line coming from your rod through the swivel of the short leader. (Do not tie to the short leader.) 4. Tie the main line to the swivel from the long leader. 5. Tie a 5/0 EWG hook onto each leader and put on your favorite Fluke. I will also put a small fluke on the short leader and a Super Fluke on the long leader to make it look like a larger fish chasing a smaller fish. Quote
okieinoz Posted August 9, 2005 Posted August 9, 2005 I've just finished reading this entire post and the replies. Great information. This is a great forum. I'm off to buy myself some flukes!!!!! ;D Quote
Reggie Reed Posted July 31, 2018 Posted July 31, 2018 I fish Carter's lake in Georgia. Only been here a year. It's a deep one alright. Yet I've had pretty good success on flukes topwater around shoreline cover since prespawn through July. Early morning till the sun is out,later if overcast. Quote

Super User tcbass Posted July 31, 2018 Super User Posted July 31, 2018 I like mine nose-hooked. More weedless and they definitely last a lot longer. I like to jerk and twitch mine but my friends just feels it in and catches a ton of them. Quote
