Arethese baits worked the same way? Twitch and pause?Chuck and grind back?if not please enlighten me.

Apples to oranges. I guess it depends on what you are calling a swimbait?

I would work a hard swimbait like a fluke (sometimes) but the soft swimbaits, not so much.

They are a much slower presentation for the most part.

Small baits, like a Swimming Senko, are very

similar. SPEADBEAD fishes REAL swimbaits

which have nothing in common with flukes.

I fish Slug-Gos (the original "fluke") without

moving it forward. Picture a feeding minnow.

The Swimming Senko like baits are fished with

a variety of retrieves, but the "action" is in the

tail. These baits are fished "cast and retrieve",

not stationary.

So soft swimbats are pretty much cast and retrieve, varying speeds of course, whereas soft flukes are fished stationary meanin twitched and slowly worked back?  Am I on the right path with this - i have caught very few fish with these baits and would like to change that.

thanks

Your understanding is what I was trying to

describe. I fish the Slug-Go either weightless

(shallow) or on a drop shot rig (deep).

Thanks I'll give the flukes a try this evening .
