Fluke Fishing Tricks (Double Fluke Rig) - Catch 2 Bass At Once!!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 ส.ค. 2024
- These fish are smashing the Double Fluke Rig! Matt is on the water chasing a fluke bite (soft jerkbait) and the fish are chewing the double fluke AKA Donkey Rig. If you've never thrown a double fluke, its a great option for schooling bass. Matt catches a bunch of fish then sits down and shows exactly how he builds and fishes this rig. Don't miss the end when he catches a double!
The concept behind the double fluke rig is very similar to an A-rig. You've got multiple baits working in unison to trigger a feed response. When you hook up you've got the added bonus of a potential double up at any time because the 2nd bait is still free swinging. Building and fishing the rig are both simple enough but if you really want to fine tune it, we've got some tweaks for you.
We use different size leaders, different hooks, and different baits to get our baits to run in 2 different water columns (one below the other) to dial in the bite and keep the fish eating our mainline bait first. By changing the hook placement or by switching between the Zoom and Strike King baits you can get the baits to run even farther apart. If you want the whole rig to run deeper, using larger swivels will weigh down the nose of the rig and help it maintain depth after you let it sink at the start of your cast.
Below is a breakdown of the baits and equipment Matt is using in the video as well as the added gear he uses to adapt the rig. The links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

#Bassfishing #Fluke #Jerkbait
Nothing beats a good cup of coffee and Tactical Bassin in the morning.
I'm doing exactly that right now 🤣🤣🤣
Watching anything fishin related and a cup of joe in the morning is damn near my routine at this point. Haha.
@@josephmurray4866 ?
I'm doing the same before I go out and do some tactical bassin.
One thing beats that. Add in actually fishing to the mix and it’s perfect.
I love how every fish gets the same respect...thats me all day. A catch is a catch
I wonder what passerby folks were thinking watching Matt flailing his arms in the air without knowing the context? lol.
Always great video!
I've been fishing this rig for 2 decades, only difference is... I use a belly-weighted hook on the main fluke. When jerking they behave almost the same, but on pauses the weighted fluke sinks deeper. If I catch fish on the weighted bait exclusively then I'll change both to weighted - if the light/top bait then I'll remove the weighted option. Usually they both produces. Great video Matt.
I do a high low system but with weighted hook on bottom too.
This is genius I was just talking with a buddy about putting 2 lures on one line to make it look like 2 baitfish swimming together. I didn't know people actually did it lol.
@@stpbasss3773 The pros have been using this method for years, believe it or not. Generally referred to as the "Double Fluke Rig". I know Scott Martin has a video talking about it. He fishes his weightless, like most do. I normally fish mine with one weighted and one unweighted yet I keep a unweighted version on the deck in the fall for following up on topwater strikes that were missed. Deadly! This is also a nice winter bass bait.
i became a bass fisherman just this year watching these guys. they fired me up and i realy did it. got some way cool pictures. i'm on a budget, on the bank, with very limited shoreline access here, just doin my best.
I used to watch Roland Martin and Bill dance back in the late 90s early 2000s. I learned so much from them. You are now my go to on TH-cam. Very helpful pointer about switching up the rigging for the front and rear fluke; making the front swim straight while rear dives down 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I switched to the San Diego Jam Knot about a year ago and love it. Easy and quick to tie and I've not had a break off yet.
You guys are the best online mentors out there! I caught my first glide bait fish on an S waver and now I’m officially hooked! I’m gonna see how some glide baits do on Texoma next weekend. Again, thank you guys so much for what you do👍🏻
I've flatout slayed em with the donkey rig this year. Caught doubles 5x in 6 trips out!
I'm not a double fluke master...but I've caught Smallies and LM's since using it. I now ALWAYS carry a double rig, and love mixing it up with different baits. Thanks for the Uber-Informative videos.
I love the fluke style fishing you’ve highlighted in the past. There’s no way this WON’T work!
Only channel I click the like button before I watch their video! Nuff said.
This guy catches more fish in one cast than I sometimes do all morning!
Thats why we're here!! To absorb some of that ungodly talent!! I mean learn...
As usual another great video from the best bass fishermen on the internet. Tactical Rocks! Thanks from Western Kentucky. Glad you and Tim moved away from the West Coast. Welcome to the Southeast.
Good for you bad for us. Our sly darkened when we got news they left us. lol
Its an older video so you may not see the comment but this was one of your most informative because it actually helps teach the understanding of how things work instead of how to just copy a technique. Nice!
That bobber stop is the part I’ve been missing for years thank you Matt Allen
Anyone else hit the play button faster than hitting the alarm clock to get up for work
I agree morning cup of coffee and Tactical Bassin is a great way to start the morning. Tying on a double fluke rig and not taking it off until I catch a double.
It's not for catching a double. I mean you can if your lucky, but its ment to look like a school or a group of baitfish, been doing this for 2 years now. I never fought a double but cought a 7 pounder on the double fluke
Great video!! Been using the Donkey rog here on Table Rock for awhile with one modification because of the clear water needing lighter line.... use a #1, 1/0 or 2/0 circle hook and just nose hook the fluke. Much better hookup ratio on light line rather than using Texas rig EWG hook. Circle hooks are surprisingly rather weedless when used like this. On this light donkey mod, use 12# braid mainline and 10# mono drop lines on spinning reel. Can throw 3.5" double flukes w ease.
Man, I really want to thank you for ruining my marriage...... I will now never leave the water until I catch two largies at once! Thanks for the info guys. Love the channel and WANNA FISH WITH YOU GUYS!!!
Tactical,
Been watching your vids for a longtime. Have helped me out so much. Went out last week, had fish blowing up all over throughout the day. Just so HARD to get a bite. The bait is so small. Threadfin and silversides no bigger than an inch. Fished a fluke and got two solid fish. Action all day just hard to get bit. Watched this video during the week and went back yesterday with the double fluke rig. BOYYYY, did it make a difference. Lost a handful, but got more than 5 times than the previous week and had multiple doubles. Fishing 5 Pound!!! (light line and downsizing everything a must, these fish are so smart, have had everything thrown at them all summer long) ... Plain and simple this rig will OUTFISH the single fluke when you have small bait and picky non-biting fish around you. Thanks again Tactical Bassin.
🔥🔥Absolutely brilliant Matt,so simple,thank you and good luck everyone 🏆🏆
I learned lot of you, thank you mate
❤️ from Iran 🇮🇷
You’ve got bass in Iran ?
@@kusland6786 all fish all, in south Persian golf and north Caspian Sea .
I’m so excited to try this today, nothing like waking up to a new video
That depth difference is key. I've also tried changing both the size and colour of the flukes. For smallmouth here up north, if the front is larger and higher than the back, the bites are about 50/50; but if the back fluke is larger and heavier, that percentage goes up to about 90/10 for the back. Smallmouth also tend to prefer the slightly darker and/or flashier/more glittery of the two if they're the same size and colour, including white/ghost. Just some interesting stuff I've discovered fishing the rig for 3 years on spinning gear.
Can you use a boot tail fluke or just straight tail? Just wondering because I have some of both styles.
@@stpbasss3773 Great question! I've only ever used flat-tails since gliding is so important in a donkey rig, but my guess is that boot tails would stabilize the motion and significantly increase resistance making the syncronized fall look less natural. But you can always try one of each - just make the boot tail smaller for less resistance and see if it works!
One of your better teaching videos. I have caught doubles on a crank bait, but this method looks easy and fun. Thanks again!
Thank You Matt for the Information & Demonstration with a Bobber Stop.
I saw the Double Fluke Rig on Tackle Warehouse last week. They used Barrel Swivels in their setup & No Weight.
Great lures for the Fall Bass that are chasing shad. 👏👏
Well I just learned another addiction,,thanks Matt
This rig reminds of the Spook and Fluke rig! Love it!
Morning fishing w Matt!!!
Ive never used the double fluke rig .. but you make it look so fun and easy !! Ill most def be trying it today 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 !!!!!!!!!!
On the Louisiana Gulf coast we've been fishing a very similar rig for speckled trout and Redfish for decades. And yes, when they're schooling you'll catch two at a time; sometimes a Red and a speck. What we do is try two different lures, usually a plastic shrimp and a minnow, or two different colors. We always take note of which color or lure the fish are going for, and then just rig the second hook with that lure. When I saw this rig for bass a few years ago I just thought, now why didn't I think of that first. It works great! I also use the same technique for bass. I'll experiment with two different colors and sizes until they tell me what they want. I've even used this technique with two trick worms, mainly in the Summer and Spring swamp fishing down here, and they knock the fire out of it. Try it!
A double up is always wild! What a way to end!
Imagine getting hooked with your buddy on this rig and hearing Matt's chuckle as you approach the surface....👀💀
I've seen numerous double-fluke vids from other TH-camrs but never seen the "tricks" to make one run lower than the other, will have to try this. Great info!
Man, Matt you guys are awesome, literally you guys are the goats 🐐, always giving us the banger vids with the most solid tips and tricks, laid out simple for everyone to understand, I just really really dig what you guys do, much respect brother, keep it up!!
Y’all are going to make me go broke and divorced. Lol. Love to content!
Tried that rig the first time I saw Kevin vandam use it and still haven't caught a fish on it but it looks too good to give up. I did however catch 14 bass over 2lbs each this morning on a square bill, using the braid to mono leader stop and go retrieve I learned from you. Hoping to get some of your DD cranks soon. Thanks for the lessons Matt and tim!!
Love the double Fluke Rig, and I’ve used it for a few years, since learning how in 2017 on Lake Murray in South Carolina with the Blueback Herring schooling up...as Always TB does the Best with The Best 🎣🙌🎣👏👏👏👏💯
I love this setup. I prefer rigging my flukes upside down when I do this. I get a better hookup ratio and the flukes sink faster. Another great video TB!
Ok so I threw this today and I will say it looked amazing on retrieve however they wouldn't bite it. The bait they were blowing up on was literally like an inch to an inch and a half long. I had one two pounder look at it while swimming past it and didn't miss a beat in swimming. At this point we went back to the launch and got the spinning gear with 6lb test and found my dropshot worm bag with tiny flukes in it. We did this rig with the tiny flukes and caught two decent ones. This just shows how finicky they were. We used 1/O crappie hooks for the rig.
great persistence. that's character. i've had many days where i tied 25 knots
Donkey rig, love that setup and it slays no doubt 💯🔥
That rig is killer. The very first time I used it I doubled up. I always rigged mine a little different but I like how you are setting it up and will make some changes on mine today. Thanks
I will be trying that on Friday when I hit the water. The fish are boiling all over my local lake. Great video!!!!!
It’s nice to see this and you’re not flipping them on the boat and messing up there slim coat. It would of been easier to set them down at the end, I appreciate y’all trying your best to handle the fish as little as possible and keeping them off the carpet when it’s dry.
Good stuff. Best TH-cam fishing channel out there hands down. Really informative content. Keep it coming fellas!
My channel is more Crappie fishing, but I still love the way your channel and you in general are a mostly teaching channel. You could take someone with no bass experience and watch your channel consistently and go out and produce. That is a great contribution to the Fishing Community. Applauded! Love the content. #BarFlyFishingTexas
I fished a lake down in Mexico in the 70's and we used to catch two 5lb bass on one rappla at the same time . If you had one on you slowed your retrieve to pick the second fish on the same bait .
1 year ago I thought fishing was just a bobber, sinker and worm on a hook. It is now clear that this rabbit hole is endless.
1:44 - "Hmmm....maybe I should cast over by that surface feeding frenzy....." I love this rig. For single flukes I like to throw the KVD Caffeine Shad because of its weight/castability and its longer movements, for getting into more specific spots. For the double rig in more open water, I like the Zooms because as a pair they seem to flutter around more as they're lighter. Mini-chandelier rigs also work nice, but some may consider that 'cheating'. ;-)
That looks like a lot of fun
Monday-Wed-Friday, my alarm is youtube notifications. 😅
Dude that is a genius idea !! Great vid Matt. Gonna try it for sure!
What a great tip! Thanks for the great idea.i just used that setup for striped bass and it worked great.you guys have great tips for fishing,keep it up.great work!
Bobber stop, good tip!
We’ve been smashing them on that rig on Cherokee lake. I don’t hear many using it in East Tennessee. Good stuff!
Gotta watch that perfect ending just beautiful
Can’t wait to try this rig out this weekend
I'm definitely going to give this a whirl... flukes have been a great bait lately in So.Cal.
I remember that I learned this rig from Scott Martin (I think) long time ago, but he didn't mention the weight/depth difference of the two flukes. Thanks for the good tip!
I use this setup for spotted sea trout in saltwater! Never thought to use it for bass!
Flukemasters double fluke rig nice!
Thank you Tactical Bassin I have been wanting to try this technique.
“You can double up any moving bait”, hmmmm, wonder if my rod can handle slinging two 10” Huddlestons.....
Its worth a try 🤣
lol maybe the real questions is what happens when you double up on 2 hudds
double 5" senkos, hang ontight!
Just get a bigger rod :)
2 squarebills or 2 jerkbaits lol
Amazing Matt
I use this a lot on the Stanislaus for striper and doubling up on a couple 24” is insane.
Great Video!
Great channel welcome Tennessee . Need some orange tactical bass hats . Lol.
Great video Matt. The double fluke setup looks worth trying. Anything to increase my hook up ratio! lol
Great content!!!! You guys are awesome!
You sir are a wizard. Damn.
YASSSS!! Im def using that double rig - thats awesome
good timing guys i just got up to head out to the water and you drop some juicy info 17 minutes before i leave. now my coffee is going and the truck is warming up! Ill let you know if this works down here in north louisiana guys!
I do 3 flukes call it a WolfpackRig
How would you rig 3?
If you are being serious I don't think you are but if you plz tell me how
I'm just so glad it is so hard to make
Hey Matt I found out from watching ott Defoe how to cast those double flukes better. You pretty much make a skip cast every time. Low to water side arm cast. It gets both flukes together and not twirling end over end. Try it out and see how it works for you. You may know already. But
Nice! Im going tobuse a small worm in the front and a giant worm or fish in the back with a heavy hook😉
Another great video friend
You guys are great thanks for the information
Been using this fishing method for like 3 years
Double rig is so attractive to fishs they jump on it, even educated ones are attracted at a far more distance than a simple lure.
You have to retie often your main line, as the abrasion from the swivel swinging on the line hurt it quickly.
AKA The DONKEY RIG! Great for busting $potted bass.👊🏿💪🏿🎣
I like a regular fluke in the back, with a weight in it and a fluke jr up front.
That's a good rig but I always just used spros 3way swivel, main line to one end of the swivel and 2 leaders to the other 2 swivel ends, I do a 1 footer and the other about 4 inches shorter, love when they double up
Ok y'all just cheating now 🤣. Lol this is awesome I love it
San Diego Twist!!!
i love this rig. Ill also work a double Senko rig which is just as effective. Just a bit slower
Thanks for all the info and knowledge you guys continue to give the community. I’m a lifelong angler and have learned so much from your channel. I also am a SoCal native (LA area) and Just bought my first jon boat. I’m looking for places to fish. Any suggestions or spots you can point me to? Please lol 🙏🏼
Awesome info as always! Never would have thought to use a heavy power rod. How do you feel about that particular rod for 1/2 oz+ jigs?
I used to do this for Crappie as a kid
Looks alot like my home lake right there in first part of video. If y'all get chance to y'all should hit Philpott lake, Smith mountain lake, Buggs island, and lake Gaston. There's few more smaller lakes around this area too but I think it would be cool to see y'all figure those lakes out on a road trip.
Love this rig!! Haha
What action rod would you recommend for a popper bait I have a way to get a rod for half price from castaway so I’m going with one of their skeleton nano 2’s I was going to be going with a Duckett but I believe they are to fast of an action?
I mainly use the San Diego Jam knot on everything and Palomar Knot on Jigs.
Caught a 20 lb tarpon in C11 canal Davie Fl on double fluke last week
I bet this would be killer with a 5inch fluke on the back and a super fluke jr on the front
basically a A rig
Yep. What Matt said.
Good stuff!
Man I love that you guys moved south. I really need to up my fluke game. Are you waiting for a certain water temp to start throwing it or are you just chasing schools?
