Subscribed btw π we need more open conversations out of love
First off, i have to address this paused at 1min. How come most people act like a push button spincast reel doesnt even exist? I keep hearing it left out of options, hearing all push buttons are for homless no income, retards, and kids with a hook and worm. I own baitcaster,spinning, push button, fly and ice reels. Yes some times a situation works smoother with spinning reel or baitcaster, but i have 4 generations that slam on mostly push button and mostly ZEBCO 33 . I challenge anyone , poor with a stick and string or rich with $100,000 in fancy tech to out fish me with a push button. I get personal preference, but to say push buttons not even in the game is like saying people that can only catch fish with min $5,000 in equipment are real anglers. I mean zero hate just hoping to open up conversation for people who believe the lies you need to have high price fishing gear so they dont even try. Ok now back to video because i want to learn others perspectives and grow as a angler. Much love to all those reading this
Please show the hook and hardware only. π’
Have only caught one fish with flukes im doubting their worth
I donβt get it man I was raised by a bass fisherman been doin it before I could tie my shoes all these pros seem to use 4 and 5 ot hooks and 1/4 ounce worm weights Iβve always used 2and3ot at biggest and unless itβs windy or Iβm goin deep point fishing I used a 8th ounce seems like I feel better with the lighter weight
Great instructional fishlips!
I greatly appreciate you taking the time to show exactly how to rig it with the weight. Never seen someone use a nail weight like that.
I want to know if their is a decent baitcast reel in price you can recommend to get some distance on a fluke
I'm really surprised you don't use a caffeine shad…..similar to you I'm a fluke fanatic and I've found much better options over a zoom. Do you just suggest that for your viewers wallets or is that truly your go-to fluke? Some of the better ones that I prefer are the caffeine shad obviously, the bass assassin shad, Yamomoto D shad, shit I fish a weighted hook zako (regular tail not paddle) and fish it exactly like you're describing. same side to Side action except the slow roll looks a whole lot better in my opinion to a square body.
I've found that those 4/0 ewg hooks are great for senkos, Berkley gilly, and zoom horny toads.
Those nature sounds drive me crazy when im watching in the canadian winter lol
When fishing open water do you ever rig you fluke backwards and use the belly as a hook guard?
There isnβt enough bite gap with the offset hook in my opinion
Ever used a Gamakatsu skip gap hook?
.,.Gene you have the largest dang set of hands on the internet lol dam it boi ! Lol,, anyhow,,I really appreciate you and your methods of teaching us what you know and your personality is off the charts,,you keep smiling and talking and for me that makes your show so much better than the other YouTubers,,so from this Indiana bass fisherman DON'T STOP!!!
As usual you're awesome Gene,but the next tutorial video should show that your setup actually catches fish π
Also, I put the hook deep enough where the eye and the knot aren't exposed out the head. It does pop to the surface more but makes it very weedless.
Maybe its the brand of swivel I use, but I still get line twist.
Could you put a tiny split shot weight right in front of the hook eye if thatβs all you have.?
I personally only use the caffeine shad now after I tried it I feel like it's such a good quality and action to it. What I do is when I insert the hook I put the hook through the nose a little further so when I have it rigged the plastic covers my knot and the front of the wood I tend to catch pretty much no grass at all on it it just slips right through everything
Pay the man comment

I use Quantum smoke rod with micro line guides and Quantum smoke S3 baitcaster with Sufix siege mono 12lbs and 14lbs line. I bought 10lbs line. I bought weighted twist locks in 4/0 and 5/0 hooks plus unweighted twist hooks. I have regular EWG hooks. I am a riverbank fisherman here in Fredericton New Brunswick
very educationalπ
I learned about the fluke by going thru the boat ramp @ Lake Santa Feβ¦. I Lund a watermelon green Fluke w/ a 4/0 Texas rig hook,,, Looks like your rigβs Brotherβ¦. Blistered The fish down in Keystone Hgtβs. Stellar Bait,,!!! Thanks much Geneβ¦ ππΊπΈπ½
I just bought my fluke today no luck yet.I have a ugly stick fishing rod spinning rod Iβve had for ten years Iβve just got back into fishing this year Iβve caught 7bass in July nothing yet Iβm August ugg
When the fishing is hard in the hot summer I use flukes at night and pile'em up!
Where I live the paddle tail does the best
Where is the fish
These are great tips for everyone that doesn't use flukes often because your spit on and the jerk jerk pause is my favorite cadence by far, the color i get the best bites with is a albino shad powerbait and a limegreen with blueish top yum.. The zoom fluke is by far the best in white and a shad color for me. Thanks gene your the man im glad your back ive missed you all winter brother
Idk Gene,,you left a lot of fish in that pretty water you just showed us,,I think a shallow running crank bait or a Spinning lure would've caught some fish down through there,,good luck in your tournament buddy !!
You cast and reel with the same hand … unreasonable and perplexing.
All my reels are left-handed, I cast and fight the fish with my (stronger) right arm.
No skill or strength needed for reeling; that's for my left hand.
Man i pulled the fluke out last week. 1st time this year. We couldn't buy a bite. I don't know what possessed me to do it but I did. And had five fish in the boat within the hour.
Seen you at rocky mountain PFA today.. you was wearing them bass out!! Fluke fishing became my favorite this year
Sweet. A.J. Styles just gave me a good class on flukes.
What about nose hooking it with octopus hook?
Howdy Gene, thanks for the info! Can you tell me why it's important to keep the hook eye out of the fluke?
Good video- I fell in love with fluke fishing several years ago at the KBF NC on Guntersville when I got a top 100 using them. I fish them A LOT slower than you do though. I work mine off the bottom a lot- and I usually use a 1/16 oz bullet weight-either screw lock or pegged with a cat whisker. I missed a lot on the EWG hooks and started using straight shanks- the EWG hooks you use look like they have a wider bite than the ones I used with the hook point in line with the eye- the hook needs to set up higher than the eye-otherwise it slips right through their lips without grabbing flesh.
First time fishing a fluke today and I noticed my braid was twisting A LOT. I thought I rigged it wrong! Sooooo glad I found this vid. Putting a barrel on tonight!
