You got that right! I quit using EWG hooks many years ago. Too many lost big fish and I also switched to the Owner srew lock hooks. I've always done real good with the weighted version when fish are more bottom oriented!

Flukes have worked amazingly for me in freshwater and saltwater, anytime of year. I've fished Lake Hartwell for many years and yes, the bass go crazy for that white fluke. It looks like the blue herring in the lake. In saltwater the Snook, trout and Redfish viscously attack it! I exclusively use the Gamakatsu’s Superline Offset Shank EWG Work Hooks in red and have never been disappointed. I use a loop knot and thread the fluke on weedless, slighty hiding the hook tip. I learned this from a pro tournament fisherman. He also taught me the retrieve to make it dart up and down and side to side. I target a spot and rapidly cast and retrieve to tease them up and chase it, them throw it back and slow it down. It's perfect for this type of wide coverage and fish finding.

I’ve had trouble getting into the fluke, but I’ve only ever tried the super fluke. Maybe I’ll try a new brand and the tips and see what’s up.

Great advice. I will definitely give this a try.

On my toughest days I’ll pull out the flukes. I will swear by these over senkos any day

Appreciate this comment!

Hey skinny........great tip. Yeah, my fluke always gets balled up, so I'm switching to a screw lock.

Thanks 👍🏻

I just couldn't understand why thank soooo much..😊

Sometimes the best way to fish it is literally walk the dog topwater presentation. Great lures, true classics. The other important thing is simple nose hooking on a weedless wackey hook, that can do wonders, on small space, dropshot or unweighted.

The 6th sense flush is the best fluke on the market. When rigged straight where the hook point sits in the fin, as it falls when not twitching it, it shimmys like a senko does. So you can just dead stick it like a weightless senko or wacky. I rarely even throw a senko anymore because this bait is my confidence bait. The flat sitting tail helps it shimmy, and side fins keep it straight up and down. Also, it makes an incredible chatterbait trailer, the tail flings around everywhere, much more movement than a regular fluke. The flush has filled more limits for me than any other bait. Its won me more $ in kayak tourneys than anything else.

Have you tried the Strike King Caffeine Shad. It out fishes the Flush for me. It's heavier and has that Senko action like you are talking about.

That big of a hook is going to completely change the way that fluke goes through the water.

I agree the fluke is one of the best and hook type is very important when setting the hook. However, I respectfully disagree with how you are rigging the fluke. First time I started using the fluke, I would rig the hook the same exact way. It resulted in a hit here and there, but very inconsistent. I did not feel like I was getting the hits I should have. I decided to flip the hook around and the results were amazingly better. With the hook resting inside the groove on the side, I felt like it resulted in better bait action and the hits and catches were significantly more. Also the bass would hold onto it longer. I always encourage people to do what works for them, but what works for me is opposite of what you are doing. The twitches and pauses vs the faster darting twitches on the rod solely depend on what the bass are feeling at that time. Sometimes the quicker darting action works, but the slower methodical twitches seem to work more often. Good luck on your adventures.

Nathan, have you found any luck rigging a fluke with a treble hook? Like the six sense line through treble head?

I’ve seen a lot of old timers do it. Seems to work, but I don’t use it much since a lot of my lakes are very weedy.

Where are you located at? I’m located on Lake Hartwell. I heard you mention it when you was talking about fishing flukes offshore. For some reason , the way you talk I just always thought you were a lot further away up like up north or something

In freshwater I use 15 lbs braid with a 10 lbs flouro leader. In saltwater, 15 to 30 lbs braid with a 20 lbs flouro leader. I used to use mono in freshwater but it has too much stretch. Braided line is no stretch and more durable.
