Re: Flukes...how to rig 'em?

I use a hook Jann's sells called a "sure grip" shinner hook in 5/0 made by Ohio Pro Lure. It has a keeper that makes those soft plastics last allot longer!! And the shape of the hook is different than an EWG that I think hooks the fish better. One other trick is to put a SMALL swivel about 18-24 inches up from the hook to keep the line twist out of the main line. I usually use white or bubblegum. This is a deadly jerkbait. Give this method a try, I think you will like it!!

Re: Flukes...how to rig 'em?

Hey guy's I use flukes 60% of the time here in Arkansas. I mostly use what I call a cork screw, some call them tag alongs, but they are a small wire cork screw that you can put on a hook. In deep cover or grass beds I use a weedless hook.{MUST be sharp} or in more open water I use a long shank hook and put the screw on were it will slide up and down the shank. Screw the nose of the fluke all the way to almost touch the hook. When A fish bites down the fluke and does not feel anything hard{a hook}. They will suck the fluke and hook into the mouth. I've had fish just swim for 20 seconds or more with the fluke in it's mouth just to see how long they will hold it. Easy hook sets and the action in the water is amazing. Shane
