My secret is in the hook. I use a 4/0 Gamakatsu Skip Gap hook. This hook greatly helps keep your bait rigged and running true and is sticky gammie sharp. Next time your out try it, trust me!
👍
I bought your book years ago. Lol, I read it all, from front to back. I enjoy your videos, bud. Thanks!
How about judging buying zman razor shadz.
Ike, flukes love to get trashed . So grab another one of those spring locks, burry it in the nose and run your hook through the hole of the spring lock. Makes the bait last longer. Awesome idea pal on a deadly bait people rarely fish
I'll save you 14:12 , cut a fluke in half, use 2 screw locks to create a hinge/joint and nose hook the bait.
Great video Mike, definitely gonna use this tactic on the Coosa River.
Ohhh I like this. I just watched you fishing with Jimy Houston. "Just completed a life dream, catching a bass behind Jimy". Lol killed me
Hey mike .. I'm mike to …. I also have a utube show … check it out lol FISHING WITH MOTORCYCLE MIKE… IM ON THE SOUTH SHORE OF LONG ISLAND N Y …
Will the tale end up in the fishes stomach after a strike?
Looks like u be burning through a lot of them screw locks and Plastics by doing the setup…
Like that.. But how long before the hitch hiker pulls out / tares the bait. Are you using a med rod with light line?
Ike love this mod! Will definitely have to try. I've been nose hooking my flukes for years but rather than hooking directly through the nose I like to take one of those same "hitch hikers" in the nose screwed all they way against the nose and place my hooked through the end of the "hitch hiker" I've found I loose far less flukes and it often slides up the line if a fish jumps rather than tearing put of the bait.
Happy New Year!!!
That is cool! Been fishing flukes a ton this winter… can’t wait to try this 💥
Super creative idea. This turns the Fluke into a hybrid glide bait.
Hi Mike! Love your channel loyal followers and watcher. I am also a huge fan of Bass U. Wondered if you might be able to give me some advice on rebuilding my tackle supply following the theft of my truck? Truck has been recovered but everything in it was taken. I am trying to rebuild on a budget because insurance is not covering the property inside the truck. Any advice you can give would be greatly appreciated!
You had me at wacky hook
Ohhh yeauhhhh!
Mike, in another video you did on Fluke fishing you suggested a silver swivel with a 2-3 foot floro leader, 4/0 Extra Heavy EWG.
I love that skipping tip and it works great. Would the swivel and leader part be of any value with this setup?
I wish you would fish the MLF Pro Tour. The tips you give are great because of your personality. You add excitement and enthusiasm when you fish. Love the Intensity!!!!!! The MLF needs some spark!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks!
Genius.
Thanx Mike! I’ve followed your advice on posts for many years and it’s always been on point. All the best for 2023!
Another good one
Interesting,this is the first video ivf ever seen talking about it.
this video was so helpful…I just subscribed
This technique looks 👌
Love your videos keep up the great work
I've though of many cool things but never thought of this. I like this one Mike. I am already thinking about different baits to do this to. Thanks for sharing this one.👊🏼
Will have to try this. I have killed the bass on Neko rigged flukes, especially D-Shads with a 1/16 or 1/32 oz nail weight in the head fished slowly in anywhere from 2-12 feet of water. For 2-7 feet, the 1/32 oz nail weight is best with the 1/16oz for 7-12 feet of water 😊Try it and let me know what you think
I like this one. I’m ready to slug a few with this mod. Thanks for the time boss! Happy Holidays to you and the fam.
Thanks again Mike for another great tip. I can't wait to try this out. If you don't have super glue with you on the boat you can use a lighter. I keep one in my bag all the time. Just heat both sides of the split in the belly just till they start to melt they will fuse right together. BE CAREFUL THOUGH PLASTICS WILL BURN. Don't want burning plastic dripping in the boat.
Awesome fluke hack 🍺 Happy New Year 🍾
Love this set up but added a small keeper in the nose thanks Love your channel
Good Evening Mr. Mike Iaconelli Fishing, I ENJOYED your presentation of Bass fishing with Flukes (Must KNOW) Ike in the shop! This is DA BOMB! Very informative and Descriptive! I ENJOY ALL of Your Video's Mike, KEEP them BAD BOYS ROLL'n! LOL! Have a BLESSED and Wonderful "NEW Year with your Family my Friend, and as Always "Never Stop Fishing!" Sincerely, Mr. Carl J. Gwizdala aka "DESPERADO."
Great info 👍.. I'll have to try this rig this season 🎣
Why not use a plain hook and if weight is needed. Add a nail weight?
I really like this modification, can hardly wait to fish it!
Good deal, Brother! Happy New Year!
Ike, this one is gunna be a hit when I tell my Tarpon fishin buddies. Definitely will be a killer for snook and tarpon. I’d also say to take a 3rd screw lock and put it in the nose to run the hook through. You might lose some baits, but the action will change a lot I think.
This is ike's take on the banjo minnow. Lol
I like it happy new year and be safe this year bassmd
Do you have a video of this in the water to see what it looks like?
you made a soft glider. Pretty cool
