Mac10 Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 On another board, a fellow relates he uses a wide gap hook in rigging a fluke. After going through the nose and before running the point through the fluke for the second time, he runs a nut onto the hookshaft giving the fluke a noisemaker and moveable weight. He says he gets a variety of falls from the shifting nut and also changes sizes of nuts for different effects. This would also work well when wide gap rigging tubes and grubs, thinks I. Leroy's original post in on Tips and Tricks section of Bassfishin.com bearing the title: "fluke trick". Good fishing, Mac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish'nTechnish'n Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 I have used a similar trick for Slug-o's etc.for a long time. Instead of a nut, take a rubber core sinker(twist kind) remove the rubber & slide sinker onto the shaft of hook AFTER it is rigged, close the gap JUST enough to keep it from coming off. It will slide up/down the hook as you fish. With the lead sinker you can change sizes on the go. Works great for me. FT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
