There are a million ways, ok, maybe four or five ways to rig a fluke. different conditions dictate how to fish with this versatile bait. Texas rigged with or without a sinker, weedless wacky, gill hooked, with a jighead, backwards with a pencil sinker so it swims under cover, drop shotted. Scent seems to be important to a lot of guys with this bait. The most fun is to see what works for you. For more training I get $525.00 for a half day...

For a regular size fluke use a number 2/0 offset wide gap hook.
To work the bait use a medium action 6' Spinning rod with a very fast tip and a high speed reel like a 6:1 is good. With 8 to 12 pound test.
Now this is my favorite part!
If your fishing from a boat point the rod over the side of the boat. and jerk the rod toward the boat and reel back to the starting position. It should be a 2 to 2.5 foot jerk.
If fishing from the bank just keep the rod towards the water. And do the same motion
The bait will skip scatter and look just like a scared little bait fish.
Hint: Try a Skip Cast!! I've caught more fish on skip casting under tree limbs and docks then I can count!
I believe that fish in the shallows can see or hear the bait skip across the water. It gives them a second chance to get that bait.
Happy Fishing!!!

I rig mine weightless like you would a worm. It allows me to hide the point of the hook so I don't have to worry about weeds. Seems to work for me best in the spring.One bait that should be in your tacklebox.

Shake it, dart it, let it sit, wiggle it, most of the time people fish them too quick. Just kiddin' about the $525 a day... Make it into a dying baitfish and you will get bit.
