About this video:
Soft plastic jerkbaits—better known by most anglers as flukes—are one of the most versatile bass fishing lures you can own, but choosing the right one is where most anglers struggle. In this BassGeek Academy lesson, you’ll learn how to match the right fluke to the conditions you’re fishing instead of throwing the same bait everywhere. We cover weightless fluke fishing, belly-weighted hooks, open water bass, schooling bass, shallow cover, suspended bass, clear water bass, pressured bass, laydowns, grass, docks, points, and summer bass fishing patterns. We also break down when to use the Zoom Super Fluke, X Zone Whiplash Shad, Strike King Caffeine Shad, and Bass Reaper Baits Mortal Minnow, along with rigging tips, retrieves, color selection, and the situations where each bait performs best. Whether you fish from a bass boat, kayak, pond, bank, or small lake, understanding how to choose the right soft jerkbait will help you catch more bass throughout summer and into the fall feeding season.
