How To Fish a Fluke - Bass Fishing
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 сер 2024
- How to fish with a fluke, or soft plastic jerk bait, like a pro to catch more Bass. And, how to rig a Fluke for Bass fishing. What’s the best hook for a fluke, what rod and reel, and which techniques work best. The Zoom Super Fluke started it all, but now there are many different colors and brands to choose from. My favorite color fluke for bass fishing , as you’ll see in this video, is watermelon red.
In this video, you’ll learn my most productive technique called “dead sticking”. It’s best used in open/deep water for suspended Bass.
I hope you enjoy my how to videos. Let me know what you’d like to see in the future!

Thanks for watching,

What I like the most about the videos, is that you explain things in a way that anybody, at any level of fishing walks away with useful information. Since I started watching your videos, it has change my whole way of fishing, and I'm starting to actually CATCH fish, rather than just going fishing.
1st time i hear a bass fisherman fish a fluke the exact same way as i do, huge props!!!
EN V Thanks! Always a productive way to fish it.
Thanks Chuck. Ever since the first time that I watched this video, I've become addicted to fishing with nothing but Watermelon Red Flukes. I just caught a bass that was ABOUT 9 pounds. My biggest bass ever. I couldn't have caught that bass if I had never watched your video.
This is almost exactly how I stumbled upon doing this. It’s been one of the best baits for me this year. If you work this thing the right way past a bass, he’ll almost certainly hit it. Even bluegills smaller than the bait itself go “whoa!” and start chasing as it goes by. Fish brains just can’t handle it. The trick, like any other bait, is to make sure they have it then get a good hook set. But with this, it’s almost like a top water frog. The hook has some material to get through so you gotta give it a nice little jerk to pin em.
I like your "no bullshit" attitude
Thank you!, can never seem to find the right hook. Used the double fluke rig today for first time and caught a few. One double up...which I thought was a giant. And I appreciate the honesty in this video.
David C. No problem. Thanks for watching. Glad I was able to help.
Lol !!!! That was awesome !!!! I've been fluke fishing for like 15 years started down in South Florida. Your color is spot on also. Its amazing how people are freaking out about this bait now....
Like the "keep the hook point buried". Will try that next time out. Love fishing FLUKES!!! TY!!
Great! Hope the video helps!
By the way the visuals with the big bright fluffy clouds in the background and you kind of in the shadows were visually stunning.
That’s what I was going for! 😁
Very help, this is the one lure I bought a whole bag of because they were cheap, I had no clue how to fish it. I thought it was all about the long plastic straight tail in the back wiggling so I would reel it in fast as possible. This method here works! Thanks.
downtownlife Glad it was helpful! I just uploaded another video on hot fish a Texas rigged worm. Hope you like it.
I actually tie a small loop not on a straight 4 ought hook. I just started using it a couple of years ago & man it really works great for me
I’ve always said the best technique is whatever you have the most confidence in 🙌🏼
I use 4/0-5/0 Owner twistLOCK light wire hooks. They keep the head of the bait in place so it doesn’t wad up on the hook.. I throw them weightless on 12-15lb fluorocarbon, medium heavy casting or medium spinning with 15lb braid to leader. For colors I like green pumpkin magic, watermelon magic and ham bone.. that’s how I do it! 🤷♂️😆
Love your videos! Moved away from Orlando 15yrs ago, and your videos take me back to my roots.
This is my go to bait, great instructional video I normally only use it in shallow water 8 ft. and under. After watching you letting sink I`ll try it out. I agree with you on how to rig it I think that's the way it was designed to imitate a dying fish and when used in this manner " ITS DEADLY "
C bird thanks! Glad you liked the video. Let me know how it works out for you.
First time seeing one of your vids Chuck. Really enjoyed it. Love the way you present yourself as just another angler like the rest of us while adding in a little humor. Count me in as a new subscriber.
Thanks! Glad you like the videos. There will be many more to come. Between guiding and tournament fishing, I'm on the water nearly every day. It's been hard lately to keep up with posting new videos, but I'll have another one up in a couple days.
Awesome. Looking forward to it.
Wish I was there....Great memories of fishing with you and my boys Chuck...be back soon.
TREVOR GUNNING Thx! I’ll be looking forward to it.
Absolutely Fantastic !!!! Keep them coming Chuck !!! I LOVE this new concept of "HOW I DO IT VIDEOS" !!!! You got yourself a NEW Subscriber !!!
Alexander Lopez Thanks! I appreciate that. I've been putting a lot of work into the vids. There will be plenty more to come.
😂😂🤣😅 that was so funny when you miss but great video. I needed that laugh to start my afternoon.☺
I like the way you fish! Screw all that noise, show us what YOU do! 👍
lvitch 👍🏻 Thx! Fish to your strengths!
"you can use any color you want, as long as it's watermelon red" ...I literally LOL'd. Just got back into using flukes recently. Good video. I'm going to give some of your tips a shot. I'm also out here in Central Fl (polk).
Firemedic10584 Thx! Glad you liked it. Many more to come.
well your suggestion of just letting it sit definitely works. Caught a few nice ones by simply casting it out and didn't even twitch it. They would pick it up and take off with it. Thanks for the tip(s)!
I watch you almost every day, I’ve learned a lot from you in the past year. Appreciate your videos. I am a tournament fisherman and fish against you every once in a while at Butler on Sunday. Nice to see a season pro can make rookie mistakes. I do all the time
Don’t fish flukes much I’ll definitely have to give it a shot. Only getting bites on Texas rig senkos and frogs right now so I’ll try more finesse techniques
Robby Atwood definitely a good pattern for the dog days of summer 👍🏻
classic vid always worth a revisit.. just bought some flukes gonna use em on Lake Moultrie in a few weeks .. wanna get that hump w hook under the surface.. hate when the fluke pops outta the water thx Chuck 👍
Nice fish! Great job! Thanks for the tip! I'm going to select the colors you suggested.
Update 8/14. Caught my 1st lmb on this rig. Thanks so much!
Gonna try that way to rig it next time out. I always used the hook thru the belly and out the top. If it was rigged right it gave me the walk the dog action but if it got the slightest bit out of whack it would twirl back to the boat. Can't wait to try your method.
Glad I could help. Let me know how it works for you.
Great vid!!! You can use any color you want as long as it's watermelon red flake!!!
Daniel Dion Exactly!
Chuck Pippin love your honesty brother!!! Something seriously lacking on the water these days!!!
+Daniel Dion Thanks 🙏 I appreciate that.
Great presentation and really love the way you fully explained every little DETAIL Very helpful to an old guy who needs to gain Confidence and you helped me Much appreciated👍
Thank you! I appreciate it 👊🏻
1st video I've watched from your channel. Nice tutorial and tips and because you put a little bit of funny too, you just earned another 👍.
Lol. Thanks for watching. I appreciate it. 👊🏻
Good video bud. Thanks for your tips..
Great fluke tutoral. Thanks.😊😊
Glad to see another central FL angler killin it!
Erik Johnson Thx Erik. I've been doing it since 1998. Just getting a late start on the UA-cam deal.
Awesome I'll have to get out there with ya sometime
If you ever want to see someone skunked in the panhandle....
Straight to the point, love it! Got to love a soft plastic jerkbait.
Great series Chuck...to the point and without all the confusing white noise. Since I'm in Central FL I'm confident taking your advise to the bank. Surprised to see you use mono, seems all I hear is how you got to have Floro or braid...Thanks for the straight talk without a bunch of endorsement bias!
Flo Rida Glad you like the video. 👍🏻. I’m not sure why everyone has written off mono. It definitely has it’s place. It sinks a lot slower than other lines, and that’s why I like it for dead-sticking.
Nice video Chuck. Since we guided on your rig last year, I still have this setup dedicated to at least one combo on my deck during tournaments at ALL TIMES! Thanks for enhancing this technique for me. Would love to get out on Butler again when I'm down there.
Illinois Dumb Basses Thanks! Glad you like the video. There will be many more to come. Let me know when you're ready to go again.
I use this with weighted hook on deep water and get almost any fish from pike to pickerel to bass. had a brown trout on them too.
+Fish Cheap Or Go Home Nice. I’ve used weighted hooks also, but still prefer it to be weightless
Hey man try a motor oil chartreuse zoom worm on that same rigging and let it dead sink in the timber no weight. kill nice bass! Watch that line start to straighten out! Fish bites give him the onion real him inn!
Really enjoyed your "How I Fish a Fluke". It was very informative and entertaining. I like to see how things work here in central Florida, because techniques that work in northern lakes don't always translate to our bass. Hope you do some other "How
I Fish a ....", for some of the other baits you use often.
Howard Hunt Curran Glad you like the videos. I do plan on doing some more “how I do it” videos.
Appreciate the rigging info. I just began using flukes and they were spinning.
You’re welcome! Glad I can help. I have plenty more videos out there that may be able to help you.
Love your color choices!
Awesome vid Chuck, just reminds me how much I need a holiday back in Florida again. Euan :)
Euan750 Thx! When are you coming back?
Another quality video Chuck. I wish I was there throwing a fluke.
Thanks Damion.
Man that's great juice CP.... thanks for sharing.
I wansnt sure if flukes were for deeper waters. Thanks for the reply. I’ll give them a try thanks to you instructional video. Much appreciated.
+Noni Florida Fishing Great! Let me know how it works out for you.
1st time seeing a video of yours. I found it informative and entertaining! Thanks. Ive never fished flukes, but i just bought 2 packages last week and some 4/0 EWG hooks. Next time i go out im going to fish them and try your dead stick method. Pretty cool method. Thx for the video.
Thanks Mike! I appreciate it. Let me know how you do. 👍🏻
LOVE the videos Chuck. Keep up the GREAT work.
Robert Pippin Thanks Bob!
Your brother Bob told us about your channel. AND! I like the way you have the handle on your reel set up!!!!!!!
Great video Chuck. I love using the fluke!!
NoFishSafe Glad you like it. Thx for the feedback. It's been a staple on my boat for my whole career.
This is great, not only is the video informative but you have my dad's name :O thanks for the content Chuck.
😃 lots of Pippin’s out there. My dad was also a Chuck Pippin.
I took your advise today and caught over 10 fish with a fluke, thanks again for the good tips!
Usefull video!!! Thanks.
In the Netherlands fluke fishing is not populair.
I believe it is a good en different way of fishing.
I use the fluke flipped to hide the hook in between channel of the fluke Seem to last longer and stay with the hook . Instead of coming off and having to redo
Thanks buddy. I sure will. 🐟😊
Flukes are one of my favorite ways to catch bass especially big ones...
The Angry Bass same here!
We do a lot of soft plastic fishing way up here in Michigan, Lots of creature baits for the Smallmouth.
Nice job! Some good tips I will definitely remember to try.
+Bass Fishing with the AntiChrist 👍🏻🎣🎣👍🏻👍🏻
This gent is awesome. Love your style brother.
You biffed that hookset! Only a real man would own up to it and not edit it out. Subbing
Great video,love your honest advice on how to and not to,earned yourself a new sub.
CHRISTIAN BYERS Thanks! Glad you like the vids. I’m working on a couple more right now.
My favorite color
Fishing Mojados The only color needed!
Watermelon red ... preach it brother
+Clinton Agnew Fishing with one right now.
Both my smallmouth and largemouth PB's are on flukes, deadsticking.
"Watch this" his last words! Lmao had me rolling
Adam 😂👍🏻
When you leave the hook in the flute or any plastic bait you miss more fish. What I do is the same rig but I grasp the hook with my needle nose and bend it up just a bit so that the sharp point is barely sticking out of the bait by just a hair and you will catch more fish. Now you will get snagged up every now and then, when you do don't try and horse it out. Just be patience and troll back untill you get over the bait and just lift it out. 90 recent of the time you will not lose your rig. Thats part of fishing period.
First off, I gotta say I like your style man. You're humble and can make fun of yourself. That's a very rare and admirable quality these days. I also really like your approach of "this is how I do it" vs "this is THE way to do it". Is the main difference behind "dead sticking" and the "surface lure action" simply the wait time immediately after cast and during retrieval? I just want to make sure I learn your technique and don't miss a nuance. Is the main mentality to just chill and wait more frequently during retrieve?
+Russ Schampers Thanks! Glad you like the video. Yep, rigging it with the slight downward arch in it allows it to have its own swimming action as it free falling down. Just let it sink on slack line and let the fish come to it. 👍🏻
Loved this video and your disposition even more. I’ll bite and subscribe.
Thanks Todd! 👊🏻 sorry for the delay in responding
Chuck -- you bass liked my PLUM Zoom Fluke too and they love that color in South FL!!!
Steven Glusman No Steve. They only like watermelon/red. Watch the video. No plum. 😳🎣
Great video, thanks for the tips! Knew it’d be a good video when you picked up the ultra wide and tossed the rest!
Derek Temple Thanks! It’s the only hook I use for flukes!
@@ChuckPippinBassFishing Caught a few fish on the first outing in difficult conditions with your tips, thanks again!
Derek Temple Sweet! It’s a great presentation when the bite is tough.
Just subscribed! Loved the video, and your attitude brotha!
thanks for doing a great teaching job!
lee gowdy thanks. Glad you liked the video. There's more on the way.
Good video man... thank you
Love it! Have you done a vid on the double fluke?
I have not. Good idea, but I don’t actually fish it that much.
Braaaaaavooooo lobinas 3 pipin 1😂😂😂
Great video dude thanks for sharing
Thanks! Glad you like it.
Good stuff!
PonchMuniz 👍🏻🎣🔥
nice hook set my man will subscribe to your channel
Octavio Fuentes Thanks Octavio! 👍🏻🎣
This is great just wish you would of zoomed in on it to see better
Agreed! Put that fluke 6 inches from the camera so we can actually see it!
Awesome always!
Loved the video! The sound was to low to clearly hear your voice. No weight at all! My friend uses Flukes. I use Senkos in green pumpkin. He uses green pumpkin Flukes. So green pumpkin with red flakes. Cool! SHAWN
disco violet has been my #1 best (with watermelon red a close 2nd)...sub'd
well done
arkansas shiner seems to be my best fluke
Dude I felt your pain on the “got one watch this”..... aghhhhhhh!
It happens. Lol
Palomar that never fails... Palomar cannot handle that short range shock. San Diego Jam will change everything.
San Diego Jam knot fan here too!
So fun to watch...
the pearl white fluke is my best color
+Gerson Cortes I like the white fluke also, but have more confidence in the watermelon/red.
You can also put a small treble hook as a trailer
This video popped up as and add whole i was watching BamaBass lol!
There fore i subscribe!!!!!!!!
I like how you dont say its how your suppose to do it. Everyone has their own way i agree.
Hank Xiong Well, thank you for subscribing. Hope you liked the video. I will be regularly posting many more!
You need to post more bud.
I know. Trying to get back to regular posting 👍🏻
thanks that was helpful
Sean Clark Glad you liked the video. Let me know what else you'd like to see.
Some times buck fever takes over. Snap!
Great stuff dude. This is one of my favorite winter time cold front techniques!
Erik Tilson Well, don't tell anybody about it. I'm trying to keep it a secret!
Ok...time to go to the next video.
Tony Luna Thx for watching! Home you like the videos 🎣👍🏻💥
Chuck Pippin definitely good info on the flukes! I'll have to try that watermelon red over here in California!, thanks!
Awesome vid bro
35 or 40 YARDS????? I'm still working on 35 FEET with my bait caster, lol.
Right without a backlash from hell baitcaster wide open sucks when you try to whip the shit out of it
I was thinking the same thing! That’s incredible distance for a weightless plastic.
Yall got some crap baitcasts then lol i have a speed spool mg $60 lews reel and a mach 70$ med heavy rod and i can launch em 35 yards with a regular cast. Adjust your breaks
Is there any chance you can do a quick up close vid of you hooking the fluke? Nice vids😁
great video,,new subscriber.
+Ray Abel Thanks for the sub!
See I'm trying the fluke for rhe first time and trying it out
Good luck. Let me know how you do!
@@ChuckPippinBassFishing I did no good trying to figure it out
How does the hook not completely go through the soft plastic after your first fish you catch on it or am I misunderstanding how you're hooking the fluke on
Larry Rotz Sometimes it does damage the fluke and you’re unable to set it back properly. In this case, you have to rig a new fluke. Most of the time, however, you can reset the hook by slightly adjusting it to set into a part of the fluke that is not torn.
Great video brother I really like the ‘no-shit’ way you presented this. Next time I’m in FL I’m going to hit you up!
.....p.s. subbed you...
+Kevin Watts Thanks! Glad you like the videos. Many more to come
Great post! Do you have a preferred brand of hook? Main reason I ask is I’m not so sure the sizes are consistent amongst different manufacturers?
I have my own tackle company now. We have our own line of hooks. Check them out. CPFlures.com
@@ChuckPippinBassFishing thanks!
@@ChuckPippinBassFishing would you recommend 1X?
What rod and reel are you using? Thanks!
Can’t remember what model that was, but I use all 13 Fishing rods & reels
