There may be no better bait to target aggressive bass than a fluke! You can fish it quickly as a topwater, twitch it as a jerkbait, slow fish it like a weightless worm, and even Carolina rig it! The soft jerkbait's ability to adapt puts it in a close of its own! This bait should be in every angler's late season arsenal and today we're going to show you how to adapt it to your lake's conditions.
Most anglers fish a soft jerkbait but few realize its true potential. With a simple hook adjustment this bait can become a topwater. With another adjustment you can suddenly throw it with the lightest of tackle, or the heaviest of gear. It can be Texas rigged in heavy cover, nose hooked in clear water, or be "donkey rigged" and fished around active bass. Most anglers use the Fluke but few know how to keep fishing eating it day after day.
Below you'll find links to the all the baits discussed in the video. We've included our favorite sizes, colors, and rigging components for each. We've also included some of our favorite soft jerkbait combos for the different rigging methods. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

I have been using the StrikeKing caffine shad recently and caught some nice fish. They sink faster than zoom fluke and Yamamoto Dshad. If I wanna fish even faster I would use a Gamakatsu weighted EWG 1/16. The weight on it is so well balanced and make all these brands' fluke shimmy sink like a senko

@vernervanschalkwyk2280 10 месяцев назад

If your fluke is bent or have kinks in it, warm it in a pot of fairly hot water. It comes out perfect most of the time. If it doesn't, warm it again in a bit warmer water. Never throw away bent soft plastics. Stunning channel though, Matt with a very informative video. We are starting to cat h huge fish here in South Africa now. Tight lines, brothers.

Matt you failed to mention the boil trick. There is absolutely no reason to throw away a bent up fluke. I just keep them in the package until I have a few packs that have all bent up flukes. Take 15 minutes boil some water and fix them. I understand you not needing to do that, but you shouldn’t have left out the fact that you CAN fix them

@yankeebass1 Год назад

Great video. Fluke fishing is one of my favorite ways to fish. This year I started fishing my flukes almost exclusively nose rigged. I use a #2 Owner weedless Jungle Wacky hook, Med CPS spring and Caffeine shad. I will pair that with a 6'8" Mojo Spinning rod, lews reel and 15 lbs. braid to 12 lbs. Fluro leader. This is what I have been using for my wacky setup so I can switch on the fly as a co-angler during tournaments between the 2 baits. I really like to let the bait shimmy to the bottom in grass and then give little pops. caught a 5 and broke off an 8 on Chickamauga back in July doing this. I will sometimes take a 1/32 or 1/16th tungsten nail weight and place it in the middle of the body to get a quicker fall in deep water or around bluff walls and the bass will destroy it.

Even better in saltwater ! I've caught about 18 species on this bait. Love it in Florida waters. You hit everything right on the head. The tandom rig on bunched up trout was just crazy. Zooms have the perfect buoyancy to them also. Lead tape was very hany, the lighter the better. I have $20000 in soft plastics but really give me a good worm and a Super Fluke for bas,, and I'm cool. Great video.

If you take a weightless Whiplash Shad and either sweep your rod tip or burn it in with the reel handle, the beat has a crazy tight swim and vibration that you can actually feel something in the water like a chatterbait

You guys should check out the deps sakamata Shad. They have 4 inch up to 8 inch. They have some with heavy salt so you can keep the bait down. It has really nice action. I have crushed them on the little 4” size this summer.

@codyseale Год назад

I grew up using a Slug-O and they work great too. But after watching your Chatterbait video from several months back (maybe last year) and watching the underwater video of the Spunk Shad, I've always wondered if that alone would make a good soft jerkbait because of the action when you "pop" it. Love the videos and all the info!

@tacticalbassin Год назад

I suspect it would though I have to admit we've never fished it that way.

My friend went to America recently and has picked me up 6 packs of the super fluke's jrs. Trying to get a good softplastic jerkbait in Europe is nearly impossible, its like a method thats not talked about over here, except on hard baits. I can't wait to receive them. The closest we have that I am aware of is the Z-Man Jerk Shadz, which I never see anyone talk about.

@saulrodriguez8664 Месяц назад

You could boil them to Straighten out the ones with a crooked tail

@khowdyshell6606 Год назад

Great video. Another way to keep donkey rig baites separate is to use different leader lines, then you can use your favorite hook in both. I use 12 # mono for the "back" and 10 or 12 # floro on the "front". The mono is more bouyant and will stay up in the water column while the foro sinks more quickly. Also the gamakatsu G locks have a much higher percentage of fish landed to bite ratio than the ewg hooks from my experience. Try them in a 4/0 or 3/0 texas rigged fluke and you will be amazed! G locks are awesome for other soft plastics too, especially beaver and craw types. And thats all the "secrets" I am gonna reveal now 😜😂

You can straighten out a curled fluke. Don't throw em away. Lay them flat on the back and heat them up just a lil bit. Hair dryer on high works. Heat gun. Torch (very carefully) kinked and curled baits aren't junk. If nothing else use it as a drop shot bait or a trailer for spinnerbaits or chatterbaits.

@Serpents1600 Месяц назад

Flukes that are kinked in the package, I put the tail end in hot water for about 15 seconds or more and it straightens back out with no issues. Once the fluke cooled down, I packaged them better and had no problem.

@Flmadeblade 4 месяца назад

i put a 1/16th ounce with a bobberstopper on it to make the zoom fluke sink a lil faster because i’ve always had the best luck on the zoom flukes so i don’t just go buy a caffeine shad and i’ve caught a bunch of nice ones like that especially when it’s a lil windy and the traditional weightless is hard to throw

@Recyclopps Год назад

Ever give the Fish Snax Albie Snax a try? Its made for saltwater but when you're only working it on top they're nice. Cast much further than flukes. They don't do much on the fall but when a fish pops a ways away you can reach them.

@brianrobinson9979 Год назад

Idk why I struggle getting a super fluke properly aligned on an EWG hook, but mine always end up spinning when I twitch it. Maybe it's my line, maybe it's how hard I twitch it, maybe it's the rigging. But no matter what, it spins instead of flicking, twitching, and popping correctly.

Don't throw away soft plastic baits that have kinked in the package. Lay them flat on their backs and pour boiling hot water over them until they reconform to their original shape when they come out of the mold.

At least your not talkin about Karashi's in this video Matt. 😂 One thing about flukes I think guys overlook which has been deadly for me, is using a heavy fluke like a Caffeine Shad or the like (Megabass with alot of salt etc) and dead stick em through bait balls. Letting it drop out of the bottom of a bait ball always seems to bring good quality fish. Ive said it a zillion times on here but Im a jerkbait nut so flukes are in that wheelhouse. You spoke of donkey riggin. I like to not only use 2 separate baits say a Zoom and a Caffeine Shad for sink rate differences, but put a superline hook in the Caffeine Shad and a lighter hook in the Zoom and move tje hook back as you were just saying. That way Im fishing two levels, one almost topwater and one a foot or two down. Obviously the deeper style can be used for both if they seem to be keying on that bait each cast. Hope Im not sayin everything you cover but Im at 6 min in and in bed about to close my eyes...lol. Wanted to put that here if it could help someone.

For future reference or maybe cover in follow-up vids, you can heat them up in hot water and straighten them out so they don't spin. Do not put them in boiling water, but boil some water in a sauce pan, let it cool briefly, then toss the bent ones in, let sit for a minute, strain them out and lay them flat on a towel.

Now youre ready to fish them again and theh will be a touch softer with a little better action. You can also use the kinked ones on bladed jigs and spinnerbaits as trailers. Never throw baits out theres always another use for them and or a easy fix to them.
