How to rig/swim/work a Fluke

[ripinlips]

Ok, So I need help. I have tried to swim and jig a fluke before with little success. It does not seem like I am rigging or doing it right. I am no pro and need some pro help from those who know. What are the ways ya'll rig it and Work it?

Texas rig weightless. I do sporadic jerks with it or walk the dog with.

My most favorite bait to fish with.........

Carolina rig= Weight 3ft flouro leader worm hook the fluke. Great around deep points or deep structure. I like to work it with big slow sweeps of the rod. You usually won't feel a tap like with a texas rig you'll feel weight or resistance then set the hook with a sweep of the rod too not like a traditional set.

You can also rig them weightless or with a swim bait hook but I find they work better carolina rigged.

I like to rig it with a tiny crimp on weight about 4-5 inches above the hook. Its almost all I fish with. I had real good luck using some of the Bass Kandi Flukes sunday on Toledo.

Not many people do it,but its deadly. Rig on a dropshot with 12lb floro,and a 1/0 worm hook weedless. Works good with a senko too.

for keiths b day we will do a toledo bend fish off... 5 bass stringer. I would agree to lacassine but its hard to sneak a 90 yamaha in there. We will talk about the details as time draws near.

I usually use fish it weightless with a spinning rod and reel, watermelon pearl zoom fluke or just white, haven't fish it in a while, but I've been buying a packs of watermelon and junebug grubs every fishing trip, there my go to bait when da bass aint biten!

try using a 4/0weighted with a colorado or willow leaf small attached to the hook and just swim it over or around existing structure. Works great in grass or hydrilla most moss or weeds
