apburninup Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 Been messing around with these magnum flukes for in and around dense weeds and sparse shallow laydowns that I can't throw the big baits in. Really liking it so far and might be something good for a followers that didn't commit to my swimbaits. She's my longest Ohio bass yet too bad she didn't have a belly on her looked like she was getting up there in the age by the look of her. Dunno if if I should have really posted on her cuz it's a magum fluke and not a "swimbait" by some standards but if a 8" topwater walking bait is a swimbait then why isn't a 7" fluke right? lemme know what y'all think. pickle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jthod Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 Good fish either way, and I love the Mag flukes in stuff like that. What hook are you using with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danthefisherman Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 (edited) I say no way Jose, but a fish to be proud of either way. Well done! Edited August 20, 2018 by danthefisherman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jthod Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 Try a screw lock hook, like a beast, or Gama screw lock. I've had much better life of the baits with those. Trokars are junk, they tear up the bait too much with the knife edge, not to mention the gaping hole they can create in a bass' lip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
