Do you like throwing flukes on mh or just m for the added action? I find I get much better action on the bait with a slower tip but it's harder to hook up with a slower action rod.

I have the perfect fluke rod, after they try it everyone loves it. It's a 7'3 MH.

MH. Really like Falcon Cara Finesse Jig rod for Flukes and Senkos. It's a very versital rod. The Cara weightless worm rod is also very good too for both.

I agree with Barn on the Cara Finesse Jig rod being a good rod for flukes and senkos. The new cara's are slightly lower power than the older cara's, so I feel the rod is more of a 4.5 power than a true 5 power. I was using the Cara weightless worm special before and didn't like it. Too short given how soft the tip is. It casts great, but the hook sets are too light given that flukes/senkos usually have really big hooks and a lot of plastic in the way. The finesse jig rod also works well for lighter t-rigged baits. I'm going to experiment with shakey head next to see how it does.

Dobyns Extreme 744 for a weighted super fluke. Shimano crucial 6-6 M/H or 6-6 M/H Kistler Helium when I throw it weightless, super fluke and senko type baits.

My AMAC 7" MH moderate I got last year is my favorite fluke and weightless senko rod. It's perfect for me.

I use an Old Castaway Jerk N Twitch rod. Seems to work just fine.

7ft MH. For me as long as it's pretty sensitive it will work. I use a BPS bionic for flukes mostly. I sometimes use them like a top water, walking the dog along the surface.

I use a 6'6" Castaway MH. The shorter rod alouds me to work the bait with less effort and the quick tip gives it more action and drive the hook home on the hookset.
