Congrats on a great creek smallie. I love throwing a fluke as well. Such a great bait. Hope that you can catch her again 😉

Thanks, John! It really is an amazing bait. Definitely my favorite smallmouth lure, and there isn't a close second. That erratic action just triggers them like nothing else.

I use it so much that I told my daughter that she had to learn to use that bait before she could use any other bait for bass😉. She is 21 now. Still uses a fluke.

That's awesome! Way to get her started on the right foot! I've tried to introduce some of my more casual fishing friends to the fluke and they're still a bit skeptical :).
