Favorite Color Fluke? **updated** 2025
Tugmaster reply :
I tried fishing a Fluke rig for the first time this weekend. I used a metallic purple super fluke on a weightless Texas rig. I picked up 2 decent fish pretty quickly. Then it kind of died off as the sun came up and it got brighter out. I'm thinking of trying a different color. The water is semi clear, about 4-6' of visibility.
I'm wondering what everyone's favorite color is based on water clarity
Thanks, Todd

The fish have yet to convince me that I need to carry anything other than watermelon of any variety and smokin shad.
ABW reply :
Baby bass , albino, watermelon. I'll throw these in any water clarity.
kickerfish1 reply :
Black, and rarely do I need to use anything else. Hard to explain why but it just does. Also excels at early morning and evening periods.
ChrisD46 reply :
Pearl
flyfisher reply :
Watermelon candy, mardi gas and moccasin blue in no particular order for me.
Munkin reply :
They make other colors beside albino and pearl?

Heron reply :
I'll have to concur with all of the above.
Also, maybe try Tennessee Shad (Black & Gold), good for both clear and semi-clear waters. Nice shiner color.
flyfisher reply :
also keep an eye out when purchasing if they are the super salt ones or the standard....super salt ones will sink more quickly which depending on the desired presentation could make or break the day.

I like the super salts because they get down a little faster but still have (about) the same erratic action. I don't have to add weight (which usually screws up the action).

I actually think they have better action because it seems like the plastic is softer. I also agree that adding weight can hurt the action but using a non screw lock weighted hook seems to do ok for me when i use them on rivers where i need to get them down in some current. I really like the 4/0 1/16th oz ones but they are tough to find in stores so i usually have to buy them online
CWB reply :
Baby Bass Caffeine Shad.
Daniel Lin reply :
Been having a lot of luck lately in a primarily bluegill forage tiny lake/large pond with a Arkansas Shiner Super Fluke Jr. It's not dark, it's not light, it's.... pretty perfectly in between.
BasshunterJGH reply :
Pearl white. I usually throw d-shads though my favorite color is bubblegum and watermelon black flake.
stk reply :
Watermelon seed is mine. I have tried other colors, but watermelon seed by far.
BrownBear reply :
The albino has been my only one thus far, I picked up some baby bass today, hope to give them a try this weekend.
UPDATE 29SEP: Tried out the Baby Bass Sunday, had one strike on it, nothing else. Maybe the wrong day for it.
annexation reply :
It's a toss up between Tennessee Shad and Smokin' Shad.
I prefer D-Shads, though - Olive Shad and Smoke Shad there.
5fishlimit reply :
Baby bass, green pumpkin, and Houdini. If I know that the waters have smallmouth I will use bubblegum.
LunkerFisher reply :
Tennessee Shad!
Tugmaster reply :
Just got home from the lake. The pearl white ones did very well! Got 8 bass and 2 pickerel in about 2 hours. A couple were over 3lbs, which is goo for where I was fishing. 2 of them came on the drop right after I casted.
Great times! Thanks for your help. Todd
