Fluke stinger rig pics

[Rob LaMoy]

As I promised, here are the pics how to rig a treble stinger to any soft jerkbait. It is important to keep the body of the bait as straight as possible as to not hinder the action. A slight bend though sometimes help as it causes the bait to act very erratic during the retrieve.

does it get hung up much?

It looks like it would be tough to fish in grass...

 

[TOMMY RICH]

Just fish it without the stinger and bury the hook point just a tad....Id say you'll be alright.

Kraig, this rig is for open water. Don't even try it near weeds. It'll hang constantly. This is for smallies in open water around points, boulders, flats, etc. Like Tee said, for weeds, just rig normal and bury the hook. The hook is exposed on this one since it is designed for open water, and it wouldn't make sense to bury the hook with 2 stingers hanging off the back.

A picture is worth a thousand words. Thanks Rob.

Use a treble trailer like that on a spinnerbait too.....perfect for open water....use a single hook trailer in weeds..

Rob -

What colors do you use and is that Zoom or Lunker City?

 

[Rob LaMoy]

I really one use 2 soft plastic companies. Zoom and Riverside. I like Riverside tubes, and jigs, but everything else is Zoom with a few exceptions, like the occasional Berklely powerbait. This is a zoom fluke. I don't recall the color though. I'll look on the bag tonight. But you can use Bass assasins or slug-gos, rattlesnakes, whatever your preferrence.

How convenient, I just bought some flukes about an hour ago.



Curtis, are you paying attention?...LOL

 

[Rob LaMoy]

Marke, when those smallies are chasing bait to the surface or around those boulders in Winnie, throw this right on top of the school and dead stick it. Keep the slack out of the line though, so you can detect strikes. They will be hard to miss though. Have a good grip on the rod! Have even caught the occassional rogue trout on them before.

I've often thought of using a barrel a foot or so ahead of the Fluke to reduce line twist. Anybody else do this?
