So while everyone here has been so busy trying to see who could say the nicest thing about Strike Kings Rage Tail products someone forgot to tell me about the Zoom Fluke >

So I final had to go into the uncharted territory all by myself and figure it out. Have you guys noticed that there is nothing on BassResource.com written about how to fish the Fluke As a matter of fact the whole bass fishing community seems to know nothing about how to fish this lovely piece of plastic ;D

To make a long story short the light bulb went on about how it fish it over the last week and I've been killing them ever since. I'm just wondering now why it took me so long to figure it out

Just thought I'd remind you guys that there are other lures besides Rage Tail stuff jk

I love using the fluke in summertime! Throw it weightless and weedless into the lilly pads and watch the big mamas blowup on it because they think its a bait fish eating insects. 

They blow. Couldn't catch a cold on 'em....

Shhhhh......

Here's an article. I like them but use the sluggo more. Think it's a northeast thing.

Love tossing baby flukes on a scrounger head..

I can still see my first fluke fish. I was jerking it off the bottom and it was about 4 ft from me when I jerked it out of the water. A bass came flying after it out of the water and I think he got it in mid air. All I know is that I set the hook when the bass hit the water and it was fish on. One of those moments I'll never forget.

Those things have crack in them. I can't and wont stop buying them and the smallies and LM wont stop eating them. Weightless, Weighted, Scrounger, Dropshot, Carolina rig, can't go wrong. Twitch, twitch, pause. Cast past your target or up onto shore if your fishing from a boat and kill it when you reach your intended target. Twitch it again and FISH ON!!!!

Ah, but there are.  Flukes were discussed quite a bit a few years back and as recently as mid-2010.  Use the search tab, type in Zoom Super Fluke or Zoom Fluke, highlight the tackle thread, choose "all posts" in the drop-down, and check the box to display only one result per thread.  You'll have to search through them to find those that tell you how to fish it but they are there.  Unfortunately, unless you can make this more specific, it will only take you back to 2008 because of the maximum limit of 150 results to display.  Here's a thread from 2010 that gives some decent info.

Last summer on some of the ponds we fished the Zoom Flukes were great!  The water levels had gone very low (due to very low rainfall levels) and the vegetation was very high!  We put on some white Flukes and fished them weightless Texas rigged.  Saved our day of fishing because we could dance across the vegetation and have it drop in the few spots were there was no vegetation and we were on the bass.

well? how do you fish it?

I've never used flukes, but this winter I bought a coup;e packs of them, and have been researching how to fish them. What colors do you guys use??

I like the arkansas shiner and bubble gum.

I make my own 5in flukes and 6in slug-o and crush em on white w/red and black flake.  But hookups are sometimes a pain with these baits.

well? how do you fish it?

What has produce for me the best so far is letting it sink to the bottom and then jerking and pause retrieve.

Just so you guys know I've read most threads and articles on BassResource.com about fishing the fluke.

I was just being sarcastic ;D

I like pulling them on top of the water in a zigzag motion. Bass like 'em. I bought some of the strike king shads and used them a bit this week but didn't catch anything. I think they have real potential.

Rig it on a fishhead spin!
