Senko or Fluke

Featured Replies

they are both soft plastic jerk baits and Ive never really used a Fluke before (senkos work great so why switch?) .....Under what condition would you use a Fluke before using a senko?

i rarely use flukes i love senkos and will never stop using them

To me, they are two completely different lures and they require totally different approaches. I like to fish the flukes weightless and move them quickly in an erratic manner trying to get a reaction strike. The senko, I also like to fish weightless, but I cast it and let it sink. I then let it sit for a few seconds, reel a few times and let it sink again. Hope this helps.

all righty then,  thanks guys!

I don't have much luck with senkos so I stick with the fluke.  Sometimes I twitch it really fast keeping it on the surface, other times just under the surface, and sometimes I dead stick it.  One of my favorite baits.

I use the senko when I want a quicker fall and the fish are holding a bit deeper.  The senko is worked slower with less intense twitches and more of a dragging type motion.

Flukes and other soft jerks are a bit different. I fish them with harder twitches and let them sink, then twitch them again. Get into the mindset of a dying baitfish or panfish when fishing soft jerks. They sink slower and have a more erratic action. I use both types of lure a lot. Last trip the senko didn't work that well but the fluke nailed 'em.

I agree they are totally different baits. IMO the fluke is more like a baitfish, and the senko??? don't know what it is but it works great. If I see bass chasing baitfish I am more likely to throw the fluke, any other time... senko
