What is this, and how do I rig and fish it?
 

It also has a slit in the belly of it, what is that for?

RE: What is this, and how do I rig and fish it?
 

looks like a bass assasin or a fluke, rig it weight-less and weedlesswith a good size hook 3/0-5/0 and cast it out and twitch it along, deadly bait for bass, i like to throw them out and let them sink about 6" to a foot and twitch it about a foot, let it sink and repeat back to the boat/fisherman, the action is great, and when a bass hits it they generally hold it pretty good;)

good luck awsome baits;)

bass assassin Fin-s-Fish - basically a fluke. I like to fish them in the way mt hands described, over emerging grass in the early summer.

hey josh when are you moving???? stay in touch

RE: What is this, and how do I rig and fish it?
 

dad left early this morning. I'll be here a few more weeks. cant say i'll get to fish anymore though. Just shelled out $400 for new tires, and I need to get a new control box for my motor - was hoping to find a used one off a scrapped boat for cheap, but no such luck.

RE: What is this, and how do I rig and fish it?
 

Ok, thanks. Do I put the hook through the bottom or top? Whats the slit in the belly for?

RE: What is this, and how do I rig and fish it?
 

i run the hook thru the nose (about 1/4-3/8") and out towards the side with the slot (bottom), and then back up thru theslot to the topside of the bait, then the point of the hook will lay flat on top of the bait, i also barely stick the point back into the bait to keep from snaggin grass and such, my two guesses of what the slot is for???, makes the bait float/suspend better and less bulk to get in the way on hook-sets;)

also check here for a visual, this is with a slug-go but should be comparable

hey josh what part and for what motor, i'll try to locate you one if you'd like;)

RE: What is this, and how do I rig and fish it?
 

The same thing I was thinking but need the year, the horsepower, and make . There is a junk yard for boat motors here that sell used boats motors and parts.

one of my very favorite lures

RE: What is this, and how do I rig and fish it?
 

OMC shifter box. as long as its a dual cable (gear, throttle), i can make it work. A guy in town has one, but he wants $100 for a 30 year old shifter box, and I just cant swing that right now. Trim switch on the handle isnt necesary, i have a pro trim on my steering wheel.

Rigging that bait weightless as described is one of my absolute favorites. And they do hold on real good, a lot of times you wont feel them hit, you just feel that they have it.

Superfluke in a wonderbread pattern. Get a big off set hook and rig it texas style.

what??

RE: What is this, and how do I rig and fish it?
 

What the others said except I tie a small swivel on and then tie the bait onto the swivel with 8-12 inches of line. The fluke type baits are BAD about causing line twist in your reels. The swivel eliminates that, esp. with a spinning reel.

I've caught more big smallmouth on a fluke than any other bait

I will make a call in the morning and see what I can come up with.

Thanks a ton!

The only thing I have been able to come up with is one for an old mercury so far but, will keep checking between my work and fishing, dog training etc.
