Nice tip. Never seen before this line sinker. I will look for it. I need to do more Fluke which was not really in my GO TO rig yet. I’m also a Kayak fishing lover with a Bonafide SS127. I have so much fun. Give us more tips. Ciao from Freezing Montreal
I appreciate it! Thank you! Sorry it's freezing there in Montreal lol. It's cold here in Pittsburgh too. That line sinker is great stuff. I'd imagine there's plenty of other ways to use it but this one I like alot. It keeps the bait falling horizontally. Good luck on the flukes. Smallmouth love them!!! Cheers!
I use a loop knot with a 1/8 weighted swimbait hook with a spring bait holder . I find the bait lasts longer and the weight allows you to fish it a little faster at more depths.
Because even that much weight will cause the action to change in the zoom super fluke. This is just a little bit of weight that gets it below the surface but keeps the action.
Rigging them up will tear up your bait. If you use the screw lock, it's only good for one use. And even the lightest weight takes away the action. This is a unique action. I'll have to do a side by side comparison one of these days.
I'm just addicted to using those hooks with flukes and pit bosses. Never liked the screw lock version. I'll give your version a try. The 16th or 8th of an ounce wieght always seems to give a exaggerated spiral wobble on the fall that's worked wonders for me. How light of a neko wieght can you get away with?
That fluke is my go to. I'll try this mod this spring. I use them on river smallies. When things are slow I toss out into the current at the edge of slack water and just let the line curve around and hold the lure stationary with very little action. It fills the creel everytime. The river here is full of pan sized bass for the smoker and I always get to release some hogs. We've got 4 feet of snow here now so I'm enjoying those smoked bass in pint jars with a beer while dreaming about future outings with girls I've recently charmed. Thanks for the tip.
I like it! I wonder if it'd be easier to pass the hook through the nose, then wrap the Twiston in place, and then finish the hooking process by passing it through the body of the fluke. More room to do the twisting. Too, if that Twiston is pushed up nearer the nose of the fluke, it might eliminate the need for the nail weight? Looks like a fun way to experiment with what the fish are looking for on any given day! Thanks!
