that's what made them famous. choose your hook size as weight depending on line size. 8# copolymer on a spinning outfit with a 2/0 offset hook worked as above is one of the best catching methods ive ever learned. heavy cover with casting gear produces the same action, just gotta beef up your line to around 15# and go with a 3-5/0 hook.

The fluke is my favorite bait, I have probably caught more fish in the past 2 years on a fluke than anything else. I almost always fish them weightless on 17 lb. line with a 4/0 offset roundbend. With this set up, you can fish the bait multiple ways. Skimming it on top, dead sticking, twitch twitch pause, and working it aggressively under the surface. I will even fish the regular super fluke in deep water. Almost any way you can think to fish it, you will have success.

yep

Belly weight, falls slow w flappin tail

This what Rudy is talking about, the setup is the best rig for suspended fish there is. Trim some of the weight off put a fluke on and watch the fluke come alive. The hardest fish to learn how to catch are suspended fish, but once you learn how to catch them let the games begin. And this setup is the beat thing I have found except the A-Rig. Mustad doesn't make them any more but you can still find them around. Don't expect to put one on and the fish just rip the rod outta your hands, its like any other setup there's a learning curve on how and where to use it.

Donkey rig with either a shad color or blue gill color as the proximal bait and a blue gill or a bass color as the distal bait. Sometimes I'll put a smaller fluke proximal and a larger fluke or other larger soft plastic distal.
This method adds a component of a competitive feeding scenario to attract bass strikes.

This is similar to putting a larger and different colored swimbait at the central, trailing bait on an Arig.

^^^^^^^

Catches lots of fish on Donkey rigs. He knows what he speaks of.

The double Fluke rig has been around for a while now and still catches a lot of fish, for me I fish a Fluke with a 4/0 hook weightless.

Split shot rig

Haven't tried that. Interesting!

Idk if there is a name for it but I usually hook Texas style on a 4/0 and put a 1/16 split shot about a foot up. Run it on spinning gear and use a twitch twitch pause motion.

Weightless or with a nail weight.

Anyone know were to get those light belly weight hooks I think owner made some haven't seen them in a few years
