    Flukes?

    About the only soft plastic I have not thrown much is a Fluke.
    What is the best way to rig one, weighted hook or weightless.
    What kind of hook do you use?
    thanks,

    I like to take a widegap hook & run through head & twist & then right before pushing hook through again to finish rigging remove widegap & replace with a treble hook. Hookup % goes way up. Works great.

    I use a 5/0 wide gap and tex pose the hook. Add a treble underneath if fishing open water, and just twitch it along. Excellent clear water bait!
