Not so much but hey, thanks for the vote of confidence. Now what do I owe you? I love a fluke, year round......

Great thread. What's the best setup for flukes as far as rod. There isn't a Fluke rod. JWR, Crank Bait, or Spinner Bait rod??

That would depend on how you plan to fish the fluke. I use a Dobyns Extreme 784 when I C-rig a fluke. For weightless I would suggest a rod 6ft 8in to 7ft 3 power rod for fishing it weightless. I throw them weightless with an Owner 4/0 J hook.

My most productive fluke color is watermelon seed with the tail dipped in chartruce. One thing that I do when fishing a weightless bait is to alternate between a fluke and a senko type bait because I use the same set up for either one.

I use a TFO in medium heavy. It is either 6'6" or 6'8". I like a shorter and softer rod with a faster action. The TFO MH seems to be softer than most MH.I let the fish load up on the rod as I lose too many fish with a big hook set. I also only use round hooks. The EWGs will not clear as well and will cause you to lose more fish. I always have a fluke tied on. It can be used just like you pitch a jig. Pitch it into the cover and let it sink. When it hits the water it will dart first. Fish will pound it just as it gets out of sight.

Thanks everyone my wife now dislikes yall. I thought I knew a decent amount about flukes but you all have really helped me out. I went to bass pro and purchased white pearl and watermelon (previously only used baby bass and bubblegum) . I have also dipped half in chartreuse and some in red. Knowing that I can fish these year round has made me EXTREAMLY happy.

The only thing I will add is that since switching to an Owner twistlock hook I have at least doubled the life of my flukes. Using a hook with a screw lock keeper makes a big difference. This tip also applies to weightless Texas rigged senkos.

Do the owner twist locks effect the action at all?

Not in a negative way. They work just fine.

I Fish them a lot. Watermelon Red seems best for me. Spiked and I use a small split shot a foot up. This lets me fish it faster. My top producer .

I got some good fish C rigging mag flukes with a peg weighted 5/16 bullet weight last summer. I was using the mags because this was a recently discovered big fish area.
