Flukes are excellent for bass fishing because their soft plastic design perfectly mimics dying or fleeing baitfish (like shad), offering a subtle, natural glide that triggers strikes, especially during slow periods or when bass are shallow/around cover, providing versatility for both reaction strikes and finesse presentations, all while being weedless for various environments. 

When to use them:

• Shallow Water: Around grass lines, bushes, and wood cover where bass hide.
• Post-Spawn: Effective for guarding bass or imitating spawning forage.
• Fall Transition: Great for targeting schooling baitfish.
• When Bass Are Finicky: The subtle action can entice bites when other lures fail.

How to fish them:

1. Cast: Towards cover or where fish are active.
2. Sink: Let it sink briefly.
3. Retrieve: Twitch the rod tip (jerk, jerk) to make it dart, then pause and let it flutter down.
4. Hook Set: Set the hook after the pause when you feel the bite
