ifin the fluke fits question

zooker · 11-19-08, 08:27 PM

i was fishing a well known ledge with a deep crankbait. i hung a wad of line -braid-on the end of the braid was a buzzbait.. nothing great yet right? but rigged on the buzzbait was a paddle tailed fluke..

the bait resembled a zoom super fluke in the front eyes on top, a beer belly holding a hook pocket, and in lenth. but the tail was a paddle..
my first thought was "whoo hoo free buzzbait"..then once i looked at the "perfectly" rigged fluke i thought "hmm thats a new one."

after i got home i took a long careful look at the buzzbait. it is tapered titanium wire with a single gold 2 blade buzzer and clacker..i like it already.

. the trailer hook was rigged with a round piece looks like it was punched from coffee can lid.. the main hook is an ultra point trailer is a mustad.i have found the buzz bait on line but....

now comes the question. has anyone heard of a injection moulded fluke with a paddle tail?? it did not have the trade mark softness custom baits would have. the softness feel matches any big batch plastic company..

oh yeah i just HAD to try it.. and caught 3 bass foolin around with it..i want to build another the fluke has torn..i pretty much searched most of my "known" tackle prodoucers and come up empty..which is why i am asking you all..

Wishing2BFishing · 11-19-08, 10:52 PM

My guess is that it is a Gambler bait.

Bryan · 11-20-08, 10:13 AM

Sounds like a bass assassin paddle tail to me

BigBassin144 · 11-20-08, 05:33 PM

Body wise, the YUM houdini shad is the closest I've seen to a Fluke, but the tail is a bit different.

But I'd guess that or the Gambler flappnshad.

Any pics Zook?

Maybe a pro lost a secret " in the works " lure...

bamabassman · 11-20-08, 08:13 PM

To be honest I've only fished it once, I just dont have much confidence in spinnerbaits for some reason. It does look good, has plenty of weight to cast a mile. If i ever catch some fish schooling on small baitfish it will be my go to bait.

lowrider · 11-21-08, 10:09 AM

hard to get away from our super secret weapon in those schooling situations, though. huh doc?

doc · 11-21-08, 10:12 AM

very, if it aint broke dont try to fix it.

MississippiBoy · 11-21-08, 10:18 AM

Ok, Laurel and Hardy, what's the super top secret killer bait?

lowrider · 11-21-08, 10:20 AM
