Hello to all you bass fishermen, I have been fishing the fluke for about a week (4in zoom super fluke white ice) I really like the lure want to get great at using it .....HELP PLZ!!! THANKS

yes I have and general tips whats the best time to use it and color

Fluke time is any time! 

 

I like the 4" white myself, usually T-rigged weightless or on a weighted hook. If I don't feel like messing with weighted hook I will shove a small finish nail into the bait after it's rigged for weight.  I don't use a bullet weight because you want them to stay relatively level as they drop on the pause to maximize the enticing flutter of the tail.

 

I also use the larger Super Fluke in Baby Bass and Smokin' Shad colors with good success. As always, plain old black is good in low visibility conditions.

 

The typical twitch, twitch, pause retrieve works very well, watching your line closely on the pause. Most of the fish I catch on it don't crush it, they slurp it up and just go about their business, That moment when they try to amble off with it is when I usually set the hook. Some people suggest counting 2-3 seconds from the initial strike to the hook set, but I only wait until I start to feel the weight of the fish or see the line going taut, which may be sooner or later.  I've never gut-hooked a fish waiting too long, but I have missed fish trying to set the hook too soon.

 

These are very versatile lures; I've fished them on a splitshot rig, mojo rig, and just recently I've tried them nose-hooked on a drop shot rig. I feel that their relatively subtle tail action doesn't suit them as well for a straight swimming retrieve, but people do use them as trailers on various jigs including swim jigs. Other than the drop shot, I always use a 2/0 or 3/0 EWG hook that has been sharpened to a sticky point.  Some people pooh-pooh EWG hooks, but I stick a ton of fish with them just fine.

 

Good luck!
