Flukes??

[Rangerman]

Most of my success has been prespawn, spawn or post spawn related. Good bait to have in your arsenal.

fish a fluke all year myself. works very well year round for me too. catch a lot of keepers.

I fish a fluke more than any other bait. I absolutely never twitch it or jerk it or fish it fast. Dead stick it all year- catches giants. Wal marts red 1/32oz hook is perfect. Of course you can catch plenty of smaller bass with the classic jerk bait retrieve, but if a big LM hits it it will be a fluke

So very true Andy....Dead sticking it is deadly. I forgot to mention that and you're so correct my friend.

What style of hook? Do you mean the flutter hooks? 1/32 oz jigs?

a fluke is my fav. bait. and like people said in other post there are many diffrent ways and styles butt the way i fish it most is on a 6'6 mh graphite rod with 8 to 10 pound p-line flouroclear and 4/0 mustad hook. this helps it sink more and you get better fill from the line. i would say try some of these ways and you will have more confidence in the fluke.

Thanks again Guys. I will hopefully get to give them a shot sometime this weekend.

Flukes also make the perfect follow up to short topwater bites. I always have one rigged up and ready when throwing a sammy. Throw it out right where the short strike was and barely twitch it, or do nothing - you will almost always get it that way - just hang on the fish is usually fired up.

Andy, I'm not familiar with the term "dead stick". Please enlighten me.
