They are good for anything that eats baitfish LOL. I'm sure Rebasser or some other computer pic guru will post you a pick.

Welcome to the forum!
Great baitfish imitators! Rig them like you would a T-rigged worm only with no weight and work them with gentle twitches of the rod tip.

i rig them with weight sometimes just like a t-rig and it usually works out pretty good, but weightless is what most ppl use

Flukes rigged with one of those fancy hooks with weight molded into the bend will make it wiggle side to side as it falls. Gives it a really neat action. I too have drop shotted the small ones and carolina rigged the full size ones with some success. I know a guy that swears by texas rigging them with a bulled weight and fishing them like a worm on bottom. He cuts the "V" in the tail with scissors way back into the body. The tail (and new cut) float up and fan out while the nose is resting on bottom. He catches a ton of fish like that. Looks silly with a weight in front but it sure works for him.
God Bless.

I use them from spring to fall and the hit is normally hard.

they are especially good for me on those reallllly hot, sunny days when the bass are sluggish and near the surface, use them wieghtless with slight twitches bringing them to slightly touch the surface of the water... bass usually hit them dead if they come upon it.

Hey guys,
can someone post a link with a picture of these lures? I think I have used them before but think they were called by another name. Would Fin s be the same thing? http://www.lunkercity.com/ Thanks for your help guys http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/st...=SearchResults Is this what you all are talking about?

Go to the Lunker City site, and go to the left side, and look at the "Fin-S Fish". That is my fluke of choice, and it seems to catch fish everywhere I go. My preferred color is Alewife. Lizards

This is a little off subject but, I think that if they made a 7 inch fluke it would work really good for bigger fish.

Flukes are my absolute favorite! I use a 4/0 hook and no lead. Just twitch them along pretty slow, do not get in a hurry, and they normally do the trick. Here in Florida my favorite color is Junebud, Redshad, and albino. Sometimes, under very windy conditions, I take a bit of a nail weight and insert it, MAKE SURE THE BAIT FALLS LEVEL, my apologies for the caps, but that is KEY!! Nose diving or tail diving is unnatural, a nice slow level fall, with just enough weight to maintain "baitfeel" is perfect and yeilds these results!

Are Super Flukes supposed to cast out far? (Far being around 20-30 ft.) And another question: Would someone be successful in catching bass if they used a Carolina rigged super fluke?

Yesterday I used super flukes in a windy condition, and it didn't seem to work as well as I would have hoped for it to work. I'll save those lures till the summer, then use them and see what I get.

Excellent thread with many good points to ponder. I have a friend who fishes them weightless, casting toward cover/structure and simply lets them sink on their own......he twitches the bait twice on the fall, but gently and tries to space the twitches so the first twitch occurs about halfway down and the second, he tries to make when nearly at the bottom of the fall.
Going slow is the KEY as was pointed out. Most folks work them too much. Weighting them at the nose will produce a feeding fish, nose down as if eating off the bottom......a great attitude for the fluke to have during or near the spawn. Just reading a book by Homer Circle......he also points out that the fish feeding on bottom isn't paying attention to its surroundings, focusing on the bottom and the food there.....some bass seem to sense this and take advantage of the situation. It would be good to read this thread several times, even taking notes will help. Good thread, Guys!!!! Good fishing, Mac |

Oh so you can put a nail straight into the nose of the super fluke and then cast it out, and see what you get? Would that interfere with rigging it though?
