I think the mags have a smoother glide and are much easier to work because they are so big. I fish them weightless just like the super fluke.

I have tried those and do throw them when I throw them weightless or on a c-rig. I'm also throwing mag flukes in 15-20' of water over deep grass that is 3-4' tall and needing something that will get it down there quicker and stay down there and still get the side to side darting action. The issue i'm running into is hook up ratio is not great, hince the reason I'm looking to see if anyone else is doing it. Throw a light C-rig, a light enough weight will keep the rig on top of the grass and you can still work the fluke. Use this hook, I've had great success with it. 6/0 http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Owner_Wide_Gap_Plus_Black_Chrome_Hooks/descpage-O5139.html

I personally prefer the magnum and the 5" "swimming" super fluke with the paddle tail. That tail helps it stay on track with no line twist, and provides resistance and that thumping vibration in the water. Really a great general use bass bait for numbers and size.

I love throwing them on the Dangleberry Rig that Lee Sisson designed years ago. The small, sliding weight on the shank gives the bait a very, erratic action. The last ones I bought were at Fishin' World. Not sure if they are even made any more.
Less gritchin', more fishin'

I've had great results fishing them. I use a 5/0 wide gap and part of a nail weight in the tail. It will cause it to fall tail first on the pause. Try it out if you haven't. You'll be amazed at that action.

I think if you can get a magnum fluke close to a brushpile and keep it as natural as possible you will be in good shape.
I had great success fishing these when they first came out using them in 8ft of water on brush piles next to the river channel on Lake Eufaula during the postspawn. The key was to let it settle in the pile (weight less) and then provide just a twitch...
I have been doing the same here in Texas. Since there is a bit more wind in Texas I add some weight (usually split shot). It's a good technique and hope it helps you

I like them weightless with a swivel about 12"-18" in front
