When the Fluke bite is on in the Everglades, you're almost guaranteed a bass on every cast.  ;) Enjoy!!

Great vid again.  Could not agree more about the Fluke.  The only thing I do differently is I use a 1/32 weight to give it a little faster fall, but even more important, it helps to protect the plastic bait from pulling down the hook when coming through thicker vegetation.  Right now catching bigger bass while walking it along the bottom slowly.  Great bait I have used for over twenty years.  Thanks for the vid, you make it look easy!

Fluke is my primary technique spring through fall.  I'll be using them in my next tournament in two weeks, so hopefully we've got some big girls that have moved up in the shallower water...

Lou, that woman's 15lb. 9oz. bass caught on Lake Orange, Fl. was caught on a Zoom Fluke.
