Used one for a spinner bait trailer yesterday from my kayak, got a nice 19 inch large mouth. Thank you for your videos, they're a BIGGGGGG help and I've caught more since I've started watching. 🙏🤠
I'll be the first to admit it, I thought the fluke was a trash bait but let me tell you, since I watched this video I have been CRUSHING it with the fluke! Now it's my go to bait all year round. Just caught a big largie today on it! Thanks for the knowledge and shifting my perspective! Tight lines!
Hard to beat a fluke anytime. Recently on Russell & Clarks hill I've been doing well on double tiny fluke rig because how small bait is. Also really like using weighted swimbait hooks get deeper & work quickly plus baits last way longer on the screwlocks!
The camera I use is the Sony ZV1. It has a focus setting that is made for should things close. The only time it has issues is if the lighting is way off.
Fantastic advice. Seems the only limit to fishing flukes is your imagination. Here in Southern California flukes produce in fresh and salt water. And top to bottom.
Yeah 8 lb fluro on a medium fast spinning outfit is money. I’ve caught hundreds and hundreds of fish on a $75 pflueger combo. When I pause, if I can’t see it I jerk the piss out of my first jerk after my pause. A lot of time you will not feel the bite because I like to jerk with a little slack in my line.
When I find a spot I take a moment, sit there quiet, watching the little fish, see what they’re doing, then try to copy their mannerisms. Then again I’m not interested in catching a lot of fish. I’m just thinking about lunch.
Im newish to bass fishing but not new to fishing. I order the Fluke Jr i believe in the exact color you have White Ice. Ive fished it about a dozen times and havent had a bite. I was thinking about trying it again so your video came in at a good moment.
@@scottvaughn9565 Thanks Scott I plan on trying it again very soon. Right now we had a tremendous downpour and its going to take a bit for the river to clear. Any other tips appreciated..
Question. Since you fish both kayak and bass boats in the past, would you use the same equipment in the different type of boats or adjust for the different boats. Thanks
Man I love a fluke .. actually just went and picked up a couple of packs of Zoom Flukes yesterday .. just the regular white pearl ones , and also the albino ones as well .. I've used the pink ones and the green ones , dark green ones , brown , etc .. but I've learned that not any of them work as good as just the regular old white ones and white with the kinda blue back that's called albino .. what are y'all's favorite Flukes and colors to use ?? I'm up for trying different brands and colors. Help me out. Thanks in advance !!!!!
Funny you started with this bait. So did I after seeing your video(s). Bought a lakeside home last fall. Fishing experience to that point had always been with live bait. Watched your videos, bought a couple colors of Flukes and had great success this year. Well, until mid-August when it was hot up here in Illinois. Thanks so much for all your content. I'm learning a lot and always pass your name on to friends that fish! Thanks Gene!
I tried fishing a fluke once and I really hated how it swam but I’ve been fishing Square bills and that movement really draws bass. I’ve heard every RU-vidr suggestion a fluke for the fall transitions and after the 3rd time, I went out and bought some Flukes to try again. If it works then I need to learn.
I tried it its a trial And error once you get the feel for it and keep the line tight youll be good i caught my first one on a fluke last week was a bigg boi for that pond
Hey. Flute Master is your title and you've earned it. LOL. Anyway I just want to say man thank you for the videos and for taken the time out to do what you do. I really appreciate it bro I really hope I get to meet you one day
Great video! That said, I never hear of guy’s throwing a fluke in the winter months ( Dec, Jan, Feb )… it would seem like a fluke would be deadly! Long cast, let it sink 10-12’+, and slow twitch it back to the boat. Fluke’s have an uncanny ability to look like a dying baitfish. You’d think ( seeing that they can be worked slowly but with a ton of action ) they’d be a great backup to a jerkbait!
For me spinning reels have their place. Covering water and hitting small targets is not one of them. They are inaccurate and inefficient. I can make a lot more casts in a shorter amount of time with a baitcaster.
Love your videos they're straightforward and to the point, and I watch quite a number of them. Might I make a suggestion? Could you raise the camera on your chest a little bit, or lower your hands a little bit, I know that's a lot to ask it will make it easer to see where the bait hits the water. Sometimes you'll describe an area, but I see other areas that look similar. I'm not sure of what you're talking about. if I can see the bait hit the water, it makes it clearer where I should be casting to. Thank you in advance. Keep the videos rolling, they're very informative
I got a shimano curado mgl 150 and I could probably cast an empty hook on my mh not really but it'll cast a fluke no weight and no swivel no problem it's my favorite reel I'm getting another one in the next few months
Nice!!! Liking the history stories!! Wait folks, there's a bass under my ask me a question cause this ain't no fluke; wait yes it is, no it isn't, but it is lol. Enjoy your channel soo much!!
Biggest bite I ever got was on a pearl shad super fluke. I was twitching it until it would stop and float on the surface, and then flutter back down a couple feet. When the fish hit, I felt like I instantly had a 20# dumbbell tied to the tip of my rod. And then I missed the hookset. Still haunts me. I was using a 3/0, should have been using a 5/0
I occasionally rig the fluke upside down. That way you are not skin hooking the hook and the hook will expose itself freely when a fish hits it because it is in the hook slot. I can get 5-10 bass per fluke doing this.
I fish a caffeine shad around deep submerged grass on a 3/32oz twistlock 4/0 weighted hook. The bass are chasing schools of shinners this time of year and this bait is magic.
I caught three and lost two yesterday on one fluke. After the third one, I bit about a 1/2” off and rebooked it. The last bass I missed was also the biggest and it was on the shortened fluke.
