Super Fluke Presentation

[Jake P]

Plan on throwing these in shallow water during the spawn. What is yalls preffered presentation for this?Weightless is what im hearing the most but will i have a problem keeping the bait down while im working it? What about a light keel weighted hook? I just dont want to add weight and kill the presentation. How do yall throw these and what are your ideal conditions and water depth?

Weightless but make sure your fluke is straight before you put it on the hook and then hook it perfectly straight. Then use a 18 to 24 inch leader with a large barrel swivel. The swivel is your weight and will keep you lure down just enough. I never hurts to use fluorocarbon for you leader either.

If your fluke is bent up right out of the package then heat up some water on the stove to almost a boil and then dip it in for a two or three second and let it cool straight.

That's a great tip about how to straighten out your bent up Super Flukes.

They work world's better when they are straight.

I have done that for years, and it is the real deal.

I usually use a 4/0 EWG in a Heavy-Wire hook weightless, or sometimes, if I want the bait to work deeper in the water column, I will use a light belly-weighted EWG instead.

Another rigging option is to nose-hook them on a 1/0 or 2/0 octopus hook.

Great hookup ratios this way, but you need less weeds to rig it that way. [awesome for Smalies when rigged this way]

Shhhhhhhhhhhh

Haha no that was my go to last season tons of action also try one of the weighted wacky hooks nose hooked and twitch twitch kill twitch kill twitch twitch twitch kill. usually I got bit either on that kill pause I'd fork twitch and feel that weight and hammer it home that or I'd get hit alot as it surfaced if was exiting seeing them come up and hammer it inches under the surface. I used it for both still water lakes and swift currents smallies would just destroy it with occasional bonus pike and walleye an 1 bullhead.

I didn't know you could put them in hot water and fix bent up ones, I might have to try that some time. I usually look through the packs to find the one I think has the least amount of messed up tails. I usually fish them double rigged and nose hook the jr's and texas hook the regular ones. I also have good success with them fishing over mats. I use a thin wire hook so it stays on the furface easier and twitch it super fast and kill it in open pockets for a few seconds.

I used to cut a slit on top the head and drop a 1/16 lead weight inside, then glue it back closed. Really helped casting distance and get the bait down. The fish seemed to like it as well.

Try useing a nail weight also.You can buy them in different weights or use a small finishing nail.

Great tips, I usually just fish them on a jig head

I fish em on a jig as well but I tie a 10-16" leader to a swimjig hook then rig the fluke it's worked very well on bass and northern pike almost a few doubles as well but the fluke wAs always the initial or only hook up over the jig.
