That pic is just step 2 of 7, check all the steps out for more details. Or watch the video that Skeeter944 posted. In the second half of it KVD shows how he does it. I like his idea best using shorter leaders, around 15-18".

Well the setup that you (Bender) posted appears to be a little different than KVD's setup. I will try and post a picture of what I am thinking.

Here is how I pictured both ways to setup the double zulu fluke rig.

I would imagine for the bottom setup, the swivel of the 1st leader would hit against the nose of the fluke on the second leader possibly tearing it.

I plan on using the setup in the top picture. However, I was wondering how the braid would hold up with the rubbing of the swivel from the 1st leader. I plan on putting a glass bead between the 1st swivel and the 2nd swivel to protect the knot that attaches the main line to the 2nd leader swivel.

Ideas? Thoughts?

I've had several packages of flukes in my tackle box for awhile now and haven't fished them much....probably due to my lack of confidence in them....but after reading some of the fluke treads on this site i'm starting to reconcider and will try them alot more in the future than I have been.....thanks for the inspiration.

Circle hook in the nose of the fluke add allot of action. Dont set the hook, just reel in when you feel the weight.

Another is to rig the fluke like a grub with the hook exposed out the back. Increases hookups. If you throw around wood, it also increases snags.

I fish a Super Fluke on Tex Posed 3/0 EWG hook nunweighter as i want to work it slowly over the tops of weeds. I've also tried them with a Gami 1/0 Drop Shot hook but the Fluke seemed to roll over all the time.

anyone ever try them on a light 1/16 oz jig/head/shaky head. I tested one in a bucket the other day and it seemed to have much better action than one rigged with a EWG hook.

I might get booed, but I think the Bass Assassin brand has a lot better action than the fluke. Maybe it is just a confidence thing, but I just like the action better. I have never fished them with a weight. I like to take a 3/0 straight shank hook, and I will bury the eye of the hook as deep as I can in the bait before it comes out in to the hook pocket. It brings the weight further to the back and makes the bait lift its head and skip out of the water a lot easier when retrieved. I also always run my hook all the way threw and let it lay flush on the top of the bait.

I have been laughing at this quote for an hour. Sometimes we have too much time on our hands offshore.

I also like to fish them unweighted on a 3/0 EWG hook.

i have fished them on texas and c-rig but most of the time i fish them weightless with a swivel up front.... i can kill fish with it weightless.... i know a pond in Florida where we will just troll the bank and throw the flukes at cover and let it sink and then twitch it back....... this is dynamite
