i became a bass fisherman just this year watching these guys. they fired me up and i realy did it. got some way cool pictures. i'm on a budget, on the bank, with very limited shoreline access here, just doin my best.
I've been fishing this rig for 2 decades, only difference is... I use a belly-weighted hook on the main fluke. When jerking they behave almost the same, but on pauses the weighted fluke sinks deeper. If I catch fish on the weighted bait exclusively then I'll change both to weighted - if the light/top bait then I'll remove the weighted option. Usually they both produces. Great video Matt.
This is genius I was just talking with a buddy about putting 2 lures on one line to make it look like 2 baitfish swimming together. I didn't know people actually did it lol.
@@stpbasss3773 The pros have been using this method for years, believe it or not. Generally referred to as the "Double Fluke Rig". I know Scott Martin has a video talking about it. He fishes his weightless, like most do. I normally fish mine with one weighted and one unweighted yet I keep a unweighted version on the deck in the fall for following up on topwater strikes that were missed. Deadly! This is also a nice winter bass bait.
I used to watch Roland Martin and Bill dance back in the late 90s early 2000s. I learned so much from them. You are now my go to on RUclips. Very helpful pointer about switching up the rigging for the front and rear fluke; making the front swim straight while rear dives down 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I'm not a double fluke master...but I've caught Smallies and LM's since using it. I now ALWAYS carry a double rig, and love mixing it up with different baits. Thanks for the Uber-Informative videos.
You guys are the best online mentors out there! I caught my first glide bait fish on an S waver and now I’m officially hooked! I’m gonna see how some glide baits do on Texoma next weekend. Again, thank you guys so much for what you do👍🏻
As usual another great video from the best bass fishermen on the internet. Tactical Rocks! Thanks from Western Kentucky. Glad you and Tim moved away from the West Coast. Welcome to the Southeast.
Its an older video so you may not see the comment but this was one of your most informative because it actually helps teach the understanding of how things work instead of how to just copy a technique. Nice!
Tactical, Been watching your vids for a longtime. Have helped me out so much. Went out last week, had fish blowing up all over throughout the day. Just so HARD to get a bite. The bait is so small. Threadfin and silversides no bigger than an inch. Fished a fluke and got two solid fish. Action all day just hard to get bit. Watched this video during the week and went back yesterday with the double fluke rig. BOYYYY, did it make a difference. Lost a handful, but got more than 5 times than the previous week and had multiple doubles. Fishing 5 Pound!!! (light line and downsizing everything a must, these fish are so smart, have had everything thrown at them all summer long) ... Plain and simple this rig will OUTFISH the single fluke when you have small bait and picky non-biting fish around you. Thanks again Tactical Bassin.
I agree morning cup of coffee and Tactical Bassin is a great way to start the morning. Tying on a double fluke rig and not taking it off until I catch a double.
It's not for catching a double. I mean you can if your lucky, but its ment to look like a school or a group of baitfish, been doing this for 2 years now. I never fought a double but cought a 7 pounder on the double fluke
Great video!! Been using the Donkey rog here on Table Rock for awhile with one modification because of the clear water needing lighter line.... use a #1, 1/0 or 2/0 circle hook and just nose hook the fluke. Much better hookup ratio on light line rather than using Texas rig EWG hook. Circle hooks are surprisingly rather weedless when used like this. On this light donkey mod, use 12# braid mainline and 10# mono drop lines on spinning reel. Can throw 3.5" double flukes w ease.
Thank You Matt for the Information & Demonstration with a Bobber Stop. I saw the Double Fluke Rig on Tackle Warehouse last week. They used Barrel Swivels in their setup & No Weight. Great lures for the Fall Bass that are chasing shad. 👏👏
Man, I really want to thank you for ruining my marriage...... I will now never leave the water until I catch two largies at once! Thanks for the info guys. Love the channel and WANNA FISH WITH YOU GUYS!!!
That depth difference is key. I've also tried changing both the size and colour of the flukes. For smallmouth here up north, if the front is larger and higher than the back, the bites are about 50/50; but if the back fluke is larger and heavier, that percentage goes up to about 90/10 for the back. Smallmouth also tend to prefer the slightly darker and/or flashier/more glittery of the two if they're the same size and colour, including white/ghost. Just some interesting stuff I've discovered fishing the rig for 3 years on spinning gear.
@@stpbasss3773 Great question! I've only ever used flat-tails since gliding is so important in a donkey rig, but my guess is that boot tails would stabilize the motion and significantly increase resistance making the syncronized fall look less natural. But you can always try one of each - just make the boot tail smaller for less resistance and see if it works!
I've seen numerous double-fluke vids from other RUclipsrs but never seen the "tricks" to make one run lower than the other, will have to try this. Great info!
On the Louisiana Gulf coast we've been fishing a very similar rig for speckled trout and Redfish for decades. And yes, when they're schooling you'll catch two at a time; sometimes a Red and a speck. What we do is try two different lures, usually a plastic shrimp and a minnow, or two different colors. We always take note of which color or lure the fish are going for, and then just rig the second hook with that lure. When I saw this rig for bass a few years ago I just thought, now why didn't I think of that first. It works great! I also use the same technique for bass. I'll experiment with two different colors and sizes until they tell me what they want. I've even used this technique with two trick worms, mainly in the Summer and Spring swamp fishing down here, and they knock the fire out of it. Try it!
That rig is killer. The very first time I used it I doubled up. I always rigged mine a little different but I like how you are setting it up and will make some changes on mine today. Thanks
Love the double Fluke Rig, and I’ve used it for a few years, since learning how in 2017 on Lake Murray in South Carolina with the Blueback Herring schooling up...as Always TB does the Best with The Best 🎣🙌🎣👏👏👏👏💯
Tried that rig the first time I saw Kevin vandam use it and still haven't caught a fish on it but it looks too good to give up. I did however catch 14 bass over 2lbs each this morning on a square bill, using the braid to mono leader stop and go retrieve I learned from you. Hoping to get some of your DD cranks soon. Thanks for the lessons Matt and tim!!
I love this setup. I prefer rigging my flukes upside down when I do this. I get a better hookup ratio and the flukes sink faster. Another great video TB!
I fished a lake down in Mexico in the 70's and we used to catch two 5lb bass on one rappla at the same time . If you had one on you slowed your retrieve to pick the second fish on the same bait .
My channel is more Crappie fishing, but I still love the way your channel and you in general are a mostly teaching channel. You could take someone with no bass experience and watch your channel consistently and go out and produce. That is a great contribution to the Fishing Community. Applauded! Love the content. #BarFlyFishingTexas
Man, Matt you guys are awesome, literally you guys are the goats 🐐, always giving us the banger vids with the most solid tips and tricks, laid out simple for everyone to understand, I just really really dig what you guys do, much respect brother, keep it up!!
It’s nice to see this and you’re not flipping them on the boat and messing up there slim coat. It would of been easier to set them down at the end, I appreciate y’all trying your best to handle the fish as little as possible and keeping them off the carpet when it’s dry.
What a great tip! Thanks for the great idea.i just used that setup for striped bass and it worked great.you guys have great tips for fishing,keep it up.great work!
Ok so I threw this today and I will say it looked amazing on retrieve however they wouldn't bite it. The bait they were blowing up on was literally like an inch to an inch and a half long. I had one two pounder look at it while swimming past it and didn't miss a beat in swimming. At this point we went back to the launch and got the spinning gear with 6lb test and found my dropshot worm bag with tiny flukes in it. We did this rig with the tiny flukes and caught two decent ones. This just shows how finicky they were. We used 1/O crappie hooks for the rig.
I remember that I learned this rig from Scott Martin (I think) long time ago, but he didn't mention the weight/depth difference of the two flukes. Thanks for the good tip!
1:44 - "Hmmm....maybe I should cast over by that surface feeding frenzy....." I love this rig. For single flukes I like to throw the KVD Caffeine Shad because of its weight/castability and its longer movements, for getting into more specific spots. For the double rig in more open water, I like the Zooms because as a pair they seem to flutter around more as they're lighter. Mini-chandelier rigs also work nice, but some may consider that 'cheating'. ;-)
That's a good rig but I always just used spros 3way swivel, main line to one end of the swivel and 2 leaders to the other 2 swivel ends, I do a 1 footer and the other about 4 inches shorter, love when they double up
good timing guys i just got up to head out to the water and you drop some juicy info 17 minutes before i leave. now my coffee is going and the truck is warming up! Ill let you know if this works down here in north louisiana guys!
Looks alot like my home lake right there in first part of video. If y'all get chance to y'all should hit Philpott lake, Smith mountain lake, Buggs island, and lake Gaston. There's few more smaller lakes around this area too but I think it would be cool to see y'all figure those lakes out on a road trip.
Hey Matt I found out from watching ott Defoe how to cast those double flukes better. You pretty much make a skip cast every time. Low to water side arm cast. It gets both flukes together and not twirling end over end. Try it out and see how it works for you. You may know already. But
What action rod would you recommend for a popper bait I have a way to get a rod for half price from castaway so I’m going with one of their skeleton nano 2’s I was going to be going with a Duckett but I believe they are to fast of an action?
Might have to try this rig on a dobyns FR705CB, shimano met 13hg, 12lb fc sniper, 3 way barrel swivel, owner rig'N hook (model no. 5137-131) size 2/0 and some megabass 3" hazedong shad with the pattle tails cut.
Thanks for all the info and knowledge you guys continue to give the community. I’m a lifelong angler and have learned so much from your channel. I also am a SoCal native (LA area) and Just bought my first jon boat. I’m looking for places to fish. Any suggestions or spots you can point me to? Please lol 🙏🏼
Saw that rig on tackle warehouses channel and wanted to see you guys do a vid on it! Just got my TW order yesterday, only issue is the water is chocolate milk! Argh!
I'd try this for white bass fishing is hella fun, I'd used a size 8 (not 8/0) EWG hook with a micro 1" 1/2 inches fluke gulp minnows and the white bass went crazy ... lol
Tried it, loved it. Even caught 2 fish at once first time I tried it. My question is.... if you put a bullet weight on one or both flukes to fish deeper does it tangle or screw up the fluke action?
How is the retrieve if you're using keitechs? I played with two of them when walleye and striper fishing in the river in desmoines...sometimes using a easy shiners.
So will it work to fluorocarbon as your mainline or will that be more likely to damage the line than using braid as the main line? Just worried about that barrel swivel sliding back and forth wearing down the fluorocarbon. I had great luck with flukes on 10lb fluorocarbon on medium fast spinning rod.
Does the water have to be really calm to use this or a non weighted fluke period. Trying freshwater tactics for inshore fish... redfish and speckled trout
ironically I just bought flukes at cabelas looking for a boat cover. I have so much lures and tackle n=but never the time to go to the water. want to take boat out but it always at wrong time or it needs gas. I dont want to fuel it up and have it stuck with all the gas. first boat and a busted gas gage

YASSSS!! Im def using that double rig - thats awesome
Nice! Im going tobuse a small worm in the front and a giant worm or fish in the back with a heavy hook😉
That looks like a lot of fun
What action rod would you recommend for a popper bait I have a way to get a rod for half price from castaway so I’m going with one of their skeleton nano 2’s I was going to be going with a Duckett but I believe they are to fast of an action?

Awesome info as always! Never would have thought to use a heavy power rod. How do you feel about that particular rod for 1/2 oz+ jigs?
How is the retrieve if you're using keitechs? I played with two of them when walleye and striper fishing in the river in desmoines...sometimes using a easy shiners.
