Question for fishing this kind of lure.
For some of you this may be some foolish questins so please bear wiht me..This lure looks very deadly and I'd like ot use it some duirng the July play offs.
1. Is this a fluke or is this a Senko?
2. Are they best fished like a Texas rig with a tiny split shot to sink the lure or should I just use a hook only?
3. Should the hook be sticking out the back or barely in the rubber part of the back.
I saw this one swimming and it looks like a dying shiner which would be a deadly bait around here. I've caught a few bass on a totally dead shiner.
Thanks for the info, One of my parents last year gave me a big box of plastic baits...some of these were in that box.

RE: Question for fishing this kind of lure.
1. Don'y know exactly WHAT it is, but it's not a fluke. A fluke has a sharper taper off of the body with a more slender tail section.
2. I run them with no weight. Hook only. Takes FOREVER to sink a few feet, But you cant get that 'dying baitfish look' with any kind of lead attached.
3. I run the hook point up throught the back and 're-bury' it in the rubber to hide the point from vegetation. Sometimes I'll hook it just a bit off-center to give it a little more wiggle while swimming.
That rig is in my top 3.

I'm going to give it a good workout tomorrow..I think it's the closest thing to a dying shiner if there ever was one...

thats a fin-s-fish which is basically a slimmed down fluke. either fish it texas rigged with a light split shot, or weightless with pauses and twitches over grass or in wood cover.

they work good but i like the flukes better personally finsfish just seems to slender for my liking but you put it on a weighted hook its deadly for a flounder

thats exactly what it is, I fish them weightless worm rigged with a 1/0 gamakatsu G-lock worm hook then stick the point slightly under the back for weedless fishing. sometimes if i feel it needs to sink faster ill use a bb size split shot about an inch infront of it.

I saw this one swimming and it looks like a dying shiner which would be a deadly bait around here. I've caught a few bass on a totally dead shiner.
