Fluke Set-Up

I have a couple bags of flukes, but it is a lure I almost never use.  Why?  Because I have a hard time threading the hook good enough to avoid line twist because the lure isn't running like it should.  It did cast well on a 6'9" MF Daiwa V.I.P. Smallmouth with a Black Max 1600C.

 

T-Billy, I have 2 MH-EF rods.  An older Powell Endurance 7'2" rated 1/4-3/4 oz. and a Helium 3 7'1" rated 1/4 -1 oz.  Don't think I've had the Helium out yet.  I like the Powell.  Would you consider one to be better than the other for flukes?

 

Or maybe give my old 6'6" M-XF Zillion a try?  Or my Smallmouth 6'9" M-XF?

Put a barrel swivel about a foot up from it. Helps it sink deeper also
