Replacement arrived!By the way, I did forget to mention that the original lure did have a decent strike however as most anglers will attest you can get a hit th-cam.com/users/postUgkxCbNOWAGmn6nfbCbJDmasvBq7J38KZNw2 and fish will hang on and release lure. I used the replacement lure yesterday and ran thru a Shimano Waxwing, Kastmaster, Bobber (set to sink). I found the does run deep (I casting on the flats 3.5'). Make sure you adjust your rate of retrieve and rod tip angle (up) to prevent getting snagged on bottom. Used it a couple of times and action was very lifelike (looked like local bait fish for trevally), craftsmanship very good....however eyeball fell out. I asked for replacement and it is on it's way! It was very easy to change out treble to single inline hook.
Fishing and praying are pretty much the only things that get me through each and every day but you are a great inspiration to me,thank you from Lake Wedowee in Alabama
Thank you sir for your tips they are appreciated especially for those like me who are new anglers. I haven't put the treble hook on yet, but the fluke alone has put me on more bass. Keep them tips coming.
Yes mr Randy please keep doing these tip videos, I will never rig a fluke like I was doing. I really appreciate you sharing you secrets with us!!!! Can’t wait for more.
That's a keeper, right there! It's kind of strange that a lot of anglers, dye their plastics with chartreuse, but the manufacturers don't. I guess it gives us the choice, but given it's so effective, you think they would do it more! Thanks Randy!
Randy thank you again for your professional experience being shared on your channel. I’ve only caught 2 bass on a fluke in 18 years of bass fishing. Both were very aggressive. I will share your knowledge with my girls that say no fishing just catching. Thank You
Randy, after not being able to catch anything in our hot Florida pond in two weeks, I tried this yesterday and managed to catch two right away. One was 2.6 lbs. Thanks for the tip and keep them coming sir!
Randy I love watching your videos because your so laid back like me and not hyper! I believe you tell the truth and we all learn so much from you. Keep it up, thanks for the info.
Outstanding Randy I know how I'm rigging my soft jerkbait now everytime I watch your videos I learn something new hey Randy you are the instructor and I am the student even though I'm 55 your pal fisherman Mike
Randy you are the bomb super professional over 40 years Smi pro and a super pro great tip I will be using it in the California Delta I like it a lot appreciate your knowledge and dispensing that knowledge to everybody in America that's hard to do to release that kind of information lot of people don't like you doing that we really appreciated It Randy Out here in the bass fishing world thanks a million buddy
I like the outside-of-the-box thinking. There's a much simpler way to rig it with a really good success rate. Matt Allen from the Tactical Bassin Channel rigs his up in a very unique way that I've had a lot of success with and it's very INTUITIVE. Love the channel! Keep it coming!
Great tip! I live in East Tennessee and a friend of mine told me we have a really good fluke bite for about 2 weeks, I wanna say just after the spawn. This will help us land a few more fish than normally we catch. Thanks again. Tight lines and Semper Fi.
This is awesome, I can see how you couldn't miss a fish with this set-up, I have tell you I started watching fish the moment first, then I started watching your channel which I'm subscribed to both of you, then y'all become partners, I said to myself Jonny did great by getting you on board!👍
Great tip enjoyed you sharing tips. I wish folks would use black cloth as a background like those teaching knots. Plus have everything step prepared showing detail and what or how different setup can increase a catch. Then at the end, look at your visitors and talk as if it’s you and one guy learning. Hope that helps and make sense.
My uncle just gave me a BUNCH of tackle that use to be my grandpas. It was LOADED with slug gos, flying lures, and uncle josh pork😎 love the fact that it use to be theirs ya kno🤙
I have been doing this for over 20 years . I also do it on 4and 5 inch tube jigs with a very small treble hook just hooked in one of the plastic skirts works great .not to mention I stuff a piece of cotton up into the head and put in my favorite scent. It works great.
Been doing this for years but I pre rig it ready to go on small split ring so all you need is to add it to the ewg. Great video for sure. Don’t see many who utilize trebles enough.
Enjoy your videos very much. Thank you for being real in your presentations and teaching us newbies 8000 ways to catch a bass. All small mouth in this part of Idaho but I am ready to slay em. Thank you.
Thanks for this tip! I’ve always rigged my treble on the EWG hook with plastic keeper on the bottom side of the bait. But would get hung up allot. This should remedy that some. God Bless!
Thanks Mr. Randy for all of your videos. I used this technique for my super fluke and it has an extremely high success rate. I will never use the regular fluke method again. So far I have been pretty good at getting my treble hook at the right length (about 1 3/4 to 2 inches) to hook into the fluke. Thanks for the super advice and for giving all of your secrets away.
This is a good daily lesson to have during the fishing off season. I agree with the others that you are putting together a great series of tips that are interesting even for the old guys that have been at this game as long as you have. I live on Kerr (Buggs Island) lake and your win there will always be remembered. Grassy creek is still the best creek and that bridge is still low to the water. Keep up the good work.
Haha had to come find this video! Caught a double the other night. Caught first bass on the treble and a smaller bass slapped the bait that was trailing and hooked himself. It was a blast. Without this tip i could’ve never caught 2
Another awesome video with multiple tips on rigging the fluke! Like others have mentioned (and I know it’s the middle of winter now) but would love to see video of you fishing the baits to demonstrate these tips!
Great tip. Had a bunch of short strikes the other day on a swim bait with an under spin. I will possibly try this tip on a fluke as well as something similar on that swim bait. Thanks!
I fished with a guy that only had Zoom flukes in all different colors and sizes.He hooked alot of fish. That's when I started using em! Have to try this mod out thanks
Randy thanks so much for sharing. I just started bass fishing again this year, and all your rigging demonstrations and modifications are great review. I'm learning new stuff too. Awesome keep it coming
This is the second video of yours that I watched and just so impressed with your adjustments and techniques. As I mentioned in your first video that I watched (floating worms) I've been bass fishing for over 50 years and truly look forward to learning something new. Continued success 🎣
I have been watching your videos and I cannot thank you enough for sharing all of these tips with us!! Lookin forward to trying these out in the spring!
That is tricky thing that other tribble tried before using a worm, didn't work so good trail n error. Just legth took little work, but this was great mod.! I was trying tie the trebble on a separate peice line then tying it at hook shank or hook bend. This way will work way better randy , thanks love these mod videos!!!!!!
Hey Randy, you’re probably aware of this fluke modification but wanted to share it with you just in case. About a year ago Mike Iaconelli put out a video titled, “How to Modify Your Fluke to Catch More Bass.” This also used a treble hook with a rivet.
A few years ago I stumbled upon nose hooking a soft jerkbait. Using a #2 straight shank drop shot hook. The action is phenomenal and the hook up is great.
I have a buddy that swears by a juke. I haven't had much luck with it myself though. Looking foward to trying out your modifications and see if it helps me out. Thanks for the video.
I use a double hook the same way. Seems to snag less. Fyi, if you can, point the camera down so the top of the frame cuts at your hat and a little left, your right, to better center. Maybe a little clip on cone light, low wattage, from the ceiling to you for a little fill in lighting.
Randy, excellent adaptation. I fish Lake of the Ozarks regularly and when fishing flukes around dock ends it is common to slip the eye of the treble hook over the point of your ewg hook (swings freely) - it does not come off during the fight. I like your approach a little better.
I only texas rig flukes during late summer-early fall.spring through late summer,I nose hook them and I hardly ever miss a hookset. By nose hooking them,it gives it alot more action and in the spring bass seem to bite the head of a fluke more
Thing I love about flukes is that I rarely miss a fish, not often do I have one short strike. Maybe it has to do with either the color or cadence I use. I couldn't fish the treble like that in the places that I like to put the fluke.
I’ve found the straight tail bass assassins are starting to take over my super flukes a lot of the time. I’ll never not fish a fluke, but BA is worth a look
Love this! I can't wait to be rid of this cold weather so I can get out flukin! Haven't commented in a while but, I watch all your videos as soon as yiu post them. I'm so thankful for your channel, Randy. Thanks for all the amazing content.
Great tip Randy....hey do you think if you push the line thru the EWG hook with two bobber stops then tie the treble on normally and adjust it with two stops would work....seems like it would be easier to tie. Just a thought. Thanks again for the modifications!!
Yes, fished the heck out of the old Herb Reed Slugo especially in and around the weed beds in the Potomac. Haven't been much on a Fluke though but now I will have to try them especially as the spawn gets close here in TR. Looks like a great alternative to a jerk bait when rigged "Randy Style". Thanks for putting out these lure mod videos. We are getting the benefit of your 40+ years of trial and error in just a few minutes. I assume you rig a few of the 'harnesses' ahead of fishing time, right? Would take a while to do so out in a moving/drifting boat. Stay safe ... We're a sheet of ice here this morning.
Thank you Randy i thought i had seen it all with fluke rigging but this one is new to me and i will be trying it out soon i hope. Awesome stuff aaaaagain! Lost my biggest bass ever on a fluke 😢 a 10+ pounder made me so sick. This would've kept her pinned.

You gotta get Johnny to set you up with a GoPro and such and let us see all of these cool tips in use on the water! Would make for great content!
Fishing and praying are pretty much the only things that get me through each and every day but you are a great inspiration to me,thank you from Lake Wedowee in Alabama
Between you and Jonny, you guys give me information overload…..I’ll never know what to throw when! But I love it!!!

Yeah !
Wow, would have never thought of that, thank you Randy for all the info.
Thanks so much. I didn't like that I was missing bites on the fluke. I will fish it with your tip. Love your channel the most. Killer tips.
Wow! Great modifications! Thanks for sharing! Just started fishing this year and I’m really appreciative of your videos!
Wish I would have known, and used this, and not missed so many slugo bites. That's why they paid u the big bucks!! Love it 😀
Thanks for sharing Randy! That treble hook just makes sense to hook up on those short strikes. So easy to do, but genius!
Great tip! I live in East Tennessee and a friend of mine told me we have a really good fluke bite for about 2 weeks, I wanna say just after the spawn. This will help us land a few more fish than normally we catch. Thanks again. Tight lines and Semper Fi.
Super cool.. I’ve seen on wired to fish where they make line thru with a rivet and treble lots of options for sure
Always interesting hearing you. Keep it up! This is growing. (fan and follower from MÉXICO)
This is awesome, I can see how you couldn't miss a fish with this set-up, I have tell you I started watching fish the moment first, then I started watching your channel which I'm subscribed to both of you, then y'all become partners, I said to myself Jonny did great by getting you on board!👍
You are a bucket of modifications. Keep'em coming. Thank you.
I'm setting up a little book of all your bait tips. Really like this one. I can see how this will dramatically increase my hook-ups. Thanks Randy
Thanks for teaching us this stuff. That is an awesome idea. I will be changing my fluke on the rod tomorrow.
Really appreciate all the videos Randy. Can't wait to put them to use. Thanks, again
I fish the same exact fluke, Texas rig. I'm definitely going to try your way this year. Thanks Randy
Great tips appreciate the videos
Your a great teacher ...I'm a fan awesome info both you guys do stelar work 👍🏼👍🏼
Great tip enjoyed you sharing tips. I wish folks would use black cloth as a background like those teaching knots. Plus have everything step prepared showing detail and what or how different setup can increase a catch. Then at the end, look at your visitors and talk as if it’s you and one guy learning. Hope that helps and make sense.
I still have 1 sluggo that was in my dad's tackle box that I bought and gave to him about 28 yrs ago.
My uncle just gave me a BUNCH of tackle that use to be my grandpas. It was LOADED with slug gos, flying lures, and uncle josh pork😎 love the fact that it use to be theirs ya kno🤙
I have been doing this for over 20 years . I also do it on 4and 5 inch tube jigs with a very small treble hook just hooked in one of the plastic skirts works great .not to mention I stuff a piece of cotton up into the head and put in my favorite scent. It works great.

Great video for sure. Don’t see many who utilize trebles enough.
I’ve used a plastic tube over the eye of the treble hook, place it on my wide gap worm hook, like using a stinger hook on a spinnerbait
Randy--thank you for sharing your knowledge. I have never fished a fluke, but am eager to try it now.
Randy i feel like i owe you money for showing this one. Masterful, thanks!
Same I let the ads roll for him lol
@@_pgrimes lol 👍
Thanks for making all of us better fisherman. God bless
I really enjoy your channel which is very informative, especially the modification videos and I have learned a lot. Keep them coming.

That's a great tip. I'm also gonna try it on a double fluke rig.
I fished with a guy that only had Zoom flukes in all different colors and sizes.He hooked alot of fish. That's when I started using em! Have to try this mod out thanks
Since we are using a leader wouldn't be easier to snell the treble tie the keel exactly where you want it and then the swivel?
Thanks for sharing all these tricks. Spring should be here soon and I’m ready. Hope the fish are because it’s going to be a slug fest! High kick!
Super cool trick! Thanks Randy.
The super fluke is by far one of my top five plastics that zoom makes. The baby bass colored one is the bomb.
Randy thanks so much for sharing. I just started bass fishing again this year, and all your rigging demonstrations and modifications are great review. I'm learning new stuff too. Awesome keep it coming
I’m new to your channel and I like your videos Randy. Thank You for sharing your techniques! From Bull Shoals
Great trick! I love it. IFish the zoom fluke a lot but never thought to put a treble hook. That will be my next hook up set up! Thanks again Randy!
Great tip! Thanks for sharing! Enjoyed the tube modification from the other day as well!
Thank you so kindly for this tip. Will try it out in the spring.
I just watched it again and forget my comments below. The video is great.
This is the second video of yours that I watched and just so impressed with your adjustments and techniques.

I have been watching your videos and I cannot thank you enough for sharing all of these tips with us!! Lookin forward to trying these out in the spring!
I had bass today that I watched strike the tail and not get hooked. I’m going to have to definitely try this!
Great channel! Very informative, easy to understand and love the educational value!
That is a great modification. It’s like a stinger on a swim bait. You’re not as weedless (obviously) but no doubt you will land more fish. Thx

Brother Randy,
Great Movie!!
Lost 2 fish on flukes this sunday because I didn't get a good enough hook set so this will come in handy for me

Flukes are hands down my confidence bait. And you sir have now changed my life 😂 think you sir!
I only texas rig flukes during late summer-early fall.spring through late summer,I nose hook them and I hardly ever miss a hookset. By nose hooking them,it gives it alot more action and in the spring bass seem to bite the head of a fluke more
Thank u again..I look forward to every upload
That's wild.. I thought you were going underneath with the treble.. I have been using a CPS Spring..
Came back to watch this video. Had schooling white bass short striking yesterday. It's on like donkey kong today
Thanks for the great tips can’t wait till spring
Thing I love about flukes is that I rarely miss a fish, not often do I have one short strike. Maybe it has to do with either the color or cadence I use. I couldn't fish the treble like that in the places that I like to put the fluke.
Used this before works really well . keep it up love watching your channel
Thank God randy uploaded this, I always wanted to use a fluke but i stink with em
Thanks buddy that’s a cool rig. Great video
I’ve found the straight tail bass assassins are starting to take over my super flukes a lot of the time. I’ll never not fish a fluke, but BA is worth a look
I can't wait to try this rig out!! Thanks Randy!!
