Without a doubt, fluke fishing for bass can be a lot of fun. We say that for at least 4 reasons.

Second, they can be fish a number of different ways. Twitch ’em, pop ’em, pause ’em, skip ’em, or burn ’em. I really don’t think there is a wrong way to fish a fluke.

Third, they are the go-to bait when the fishing gets tough. Whenever it seems like the fish aren’t biting a good lure to throw is a fluke.

Lastly, flukes catch fish. I know it seems simple, but it is true. Flukes can be thrown anything throughout the year: spawn, post spawn, early spring, hot summer days or cold autumn morning. The lure is so versatile and yet so effective that you may find it difficult to take it off and try something new.
