How to rig/swim/work a Fluke
 

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.

Only way i use it......love that bait.

Come on Micah... whens the last time you contributed to the livewell?

One of my go-to baits on river

Let's do another lacassine fish off and see!!

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.

Sounds good

Thanks for all the advice...I will post my report next fishing trip...hopefully including a picture of a bass with a fluke.:D

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

Need to use a swivel to tie your liter to so ur line doesn't twist.
