Man I wish you uploaded like you used to. You are by far my favorite RUclips fisherman. You taught me 90% of what I know.
When I was a kid I would fish with earth worms for anything. Caught plenty of bass. But when I got back into fishing a couple years ago I decided to target bass specifically. So i dive into learning how pros target them. You and Glenn may taught me how to rig and fish a Texas rig. That is the rig that I caught my first bass when targeting them. Now i never go out without one tied on. And it's all thanks to you and Glenn may.
Precisely and it's already in the water before I reach the bank

Miss ya fluke hope all is well
Have been watching your channel for awhile now and I really enjoy it! Was actually at work and a couple of co workers and I started talking fishing.. I recommend your channel because you do teach very well. Unfortunately it's cold as heck outside but I can't wait to get back out there and try new things you've showed me . Thanks!! :)
Great video buddy I just started fishing a Texas Rig and I love it. Your videos have helped me to become a better angler! Thank you
I learned how to rig and fish a texas rig from one of your older videos on it. I was out all day Monday fishing and was bout to get skunked. At dusk I tied up my first texas rig with a bandito bug Jr in tye california craw color. 3 or 4 cast with it and got a smallmouth, she was a little girl but she was something. Just wanna say I appreciate all the knowledge you share, tight lines and stay safe!
Been catching bass since I was five and been using a Texas rig for a long long time your advice is spot on. Love your content you teach a middle aged guy like myself new things.
I tried the Basix fluro from Seaguar this year. Its performed pretty well. I do retie certain heavier baits often with it around cover, but no complaints.
I have literally switched everything I use to Seagar Basics. Whether it's a full spool or leader. Very good affordable Fluorocarbon. Thanks Gene
I subscribe to your channel love the way you teach and explain everything never knew how much I need to learn thanks for all you do and have done for me catching more fish than ever. Thanks Gene 😀
Caught my PB yesterday on a medium Gloomis GL3 6' rod with 10lb Vanish floro, Black blue Blazin worm from Googan and 3/0 EWG hook. It was the best day i had in a while, especially for someone who never caugh anything over 1lb bass. This bad boy was 4lbs... Hook set was snappy straight up. I figure i should share what i did because it looks like there is alike a thousand ways to get things done nowadays. Only issue i am still having with other bites is the hookset, but i am getting better! Thank you FLukemaster, been watching your vids religiously and i used your twitch method on that worm... Cheers
Great video. Thanks for the refresher.
One of my favorite baits and favorite ways to fish 😊
I use the seaguar basics and love it. No issues for me other than user error backlashes 😂
The skill, brother, is very good. I will apply it.
When I first started fishing seriously it was Texas Rig or bust. I had to learn the right equipment for it when I got into tournaments. Then I started adding other techniques to my arsenal. Thanks for the how-to videos!
Right on. Rick are you coming to the KBFNC?
@@Flukemaster I want too. We have soccer sectionals Monday, Tuesday, and possibly Thursday that week. I won't make it this year. 2024 for the "reset" Spring NC I'm all in for though! My next KBF event will be Lake Murray 2023. That lake has been good to me the last couple years.
One of my favorites for sure, sometimes I feel like I miss a hookset though because I'm always set up weedless, I hate getting caught up. - Mike
Great information
Finally! A video that addressed putting on a weight! I’ve always seen videos and the guys talking would hardly mention weight if at all! And I was always wondering how the heck they threw the bait so far!
I always have a Texas and Carolina rig on the boat. If all else fails it's a go to.
Thanks for the video.
Thanks for this!
There is always at least one Texas rig rod ready on my yak. Good stuff Gene.
Definitely don’t be afraid to use big worms. I’m still using 8 inch max scent kingtails catching plenty of bass. Big smallies, big largies still love a big ole worm this time of year. 🤙
I’m a beginner at the whole fishing game but I’m excited to learn the “Texas Rig” and hopefully catch some fish
Texas rig was my first ever setup for targeting bass. Still have one tied on every time.
Great video! Keep it up!
Hey flukemaster, I saw you at land between the lakes today, hope you had a great day!
Sure do love ur video brother n they helped me a lot threw out this yr... thank u for that but because it's football season n we play yall here in few wks.... GBO!!! Lol.
Your awesome flukemaster l. I hope your doing well!! Merry Christmas sir
I love the Carolina rig personally
Thanks!
hey dude behind you in traffic right now. love the love to phill swift sticker. love everything about your car you have earned a subscriber
Appreciate it!! Thanks for the sub.
The confidence rig, for sure! ANY new body of water sees a TR first.
Kastking produced a RUclips video that demonstrated little if any difference between mono and flouro lines. The limited amount of difference in stretch occurred more so based on the manufacturer as opposed to the type of line.
Could you do a video on fishing fatigue? My wrist and hand hurt so bad after power fishing for a while. I cast with one hand. I also use the Winn rod grips and trigger happy trigger grips for my casting rods.
Texas rig was the first real lure I learned how to fish. I was fishing bait hooks with live worms and catching nothing but bluegills. After catching my first bass on a Texas rig, I always have a Texas rig on at least one rod when I go fishing. My Texas rig rod catches 80% of my baits. My square bill rods catch the other 20%. I’ve only caught two bass on a jig and I’ve had no luck on flukes, spinner baits or crank baits so Texas rig is what I fish to fínese the bass from hiding. I love the Texas rig so much.
Like Gene said the baz x line I recommend 15lb I tried 12lb and was not a fan it broke pretty easy but the 15lb I've pulled logs in with it but 100% if you have a few extra bucks get the Abra's x best line on the market
Great video. Seaguar basix is a good line for beginners. I fish from the bank and I use it on my treble hook baits for my 10 & 12lb line presentations. Can be found on sale for $6-7. When trying to throw banks with unorthodox casts under and around trees, hurts a lot less when having to cut out a bird nest happens from from tree snags. I use red label and basix interchangeably. I don’t really notice a difference
Never overhand cast when trees hand side arm cast. Even when you do have clearance for the reason less splash an getting lure or soft plastic in the water
When trees hang I mean never over hand cast. Generally good to side arm cast. If you have plenty of clearance it will help with distance. Also if you have tree branches hang practice under hand roll cast make a circular motion with fishing pole with line hand just a few inches from rod tip.
@@joegrande4848 thank you for the tips. A lot of my issues happen when I’m standing between two trees about 2/3 feet wider than shoulder width with which waist high bushes in front of me. I’ve been trying to find spots people won’t walk to around the lake I fish in.
Texas Rig and Grub jigs…hard to beat
Thank you for the teaching videos helps me tremendously. With Fall and being in NE Ohio, what color of bait would you recommend as I see you are using the blue and green pumpkin colors. BTW… the SeaGuar Basix has not failed me at all.
I love fishing a Texas rig
Finesse Bass fishing is my jam ! Not a fan of other styles as much. Not a fan of treble hooks either. Love the texas rig.
I'm going to try a texas rig this month. The river by me just won't give it up, so need some new tactics to hit it with, haha
Snelling the hook has helped me.
Any sinker over an ounce and I snell it.
That's my go to but it hasn't worked the last 3 years I really dont know any other that works except crankbaits or buzz bait. But I want to learn dropshot and go shiner fishing I feel like I should be crappie fishing
I’ve been using Seaguar Basix in 15lb and I can’t really complain for the price. It’s not as supple as higher end lines and the diameter is overall thicker when compared to equal strength lines but it’s not a bad line for $10.
Exactly.
I have been fishing a fluke Texas rig lately. Still waiting for that first bite. Lol!!! I’m that guy that goes fishing and everyone around him is filling their coolers with fish. I can only guess I’m like kryptonite to all fish.
😂 7’ medium heavy 12 lbs. fluoro. Abu Spinner. Saving for a bait caster.
7’2” MH F Shimano Expride is the best Texas rig rod I’ve ever used
Hey Gene ... I tend to use a baby brush hog for my TX rigs. Your thoughts say versus a rage tail. Thanks.
Still fishing that rage Bug I see! Rage Bug, space monkey, vile craw, and Berkeley PitBoss are my 4 go to's.
I ALWAYS have a few packs of junebug space monkeys
You bet I am. I've been fishing Rage Bugs since before they hit the market. BigO brought me a gallon bag full of them that he hand poured and I went through them in a little over a week. Still one of the best fishing trips that I've ever had.
What about when the bottom composition is algae covered vegetation? Im a huge fan of a Texas rig or shakey head fishing but here in central Texas a lot of these places are soft mucky bottoms.
Sir i want information on what paint to use on rubber shads
good video , something new to me. If you take the peg off when you cast isn't the sinker still going to fall against the bait , or did you also remove the sinker?
I use the red segaur.
What are your top 5 flouro lines?
Please include a couple brands. Price not being a factor.
Texas rig is my all time go too and favorite
I have really been struggling with rod size selection. Would you recommend a 73 rod for pitching and flipping heavy cover, chatterbaits, crank baits and some top water? I have a 7 foot prodigy walleye series rod from cabelas with 6-3-1 gear ratio. I use it for ned rigs, spy baits. Still unsure if I should go with an 8 speed reel or 7 speed reel? Also would you recommend 1 piece or two piece rods? Love the channel btw !!! 🍻 I mainly canoe fish or fish from shore
What about Fast vs Extra Fast actions? I've been looking at some 13 Fishing rods and notice that a few models carry an Extra Fast action. I've read that EF is better for bottom type baits, TR and jigs.
If you use braid, do you add a fluoro leader?
Hi, my name is Tina and I live in O’Fallon, MO. I just started fishing this year and got hooked on kayak fishing. Now I just need to learn how to fish. I’ve been watching your videos and giving them a try. The main problem I have is that the two main lakes I fish are very muddy. Only a couple of inches visibility. I’ve only caught one bass on a plastic lizard, but that was in early summer. What do you recommend I use to start catching more bass? Any info would be greatly appreciated.
For peg.
Use broke off tip of toothpick. Can change your mind
Have you ever been attacked by an owl fishing at night time? Last night I was at stewarts Creek boat ramp on Percy priest lake. That is where I saw your boat about a month or two ago when you were studying the lake for the kayak tournament. I was fishing off of the little floating dock next to the boat ramp with a white jerkbait and an owl landed on the handrail of the dock about 10 ft from me it was white and black. I watched the owl the whole time but as soon as I turned my back on it that thing went for my jerk bait on my pole and I had to hit it with my rod. Crazy as heck
What would be your 2 favorite colors of soft beaver style baits in the fall. 2 for stained water and 2 for clearer water? Midwest is my location.
Something bold and something natural. If I were you, I'd go with either black & (insert color) flake, or junebug for my bold color, and either green pumpkin (insert color here) flake or watermelon (insert color here) flake for my natural. I have caught fish from coast to coast and from the Canadian to Mexican borders on black and blue flake, and green pumpkin black flake, most of the time I don't really bother with other colors these days
Clear water - green pumpkin, watermelon, cotton candy (Zoom)
Stained water - black/blue flake, plum/purples
Test out different reds, purples, and pinks. I’ve noticed in heavily pressured lakes I catch quite a lot of fish on those colors in clear, muddy, and stained water. I’m in Illinois and have regular success even in tough conditions (because of Gene)
I have yet to catch a bass I’ve been trying at lake mead and at willow but I just get nothing
i got a baitcasting reel its a 7-0-1 what would be a good rod for it it will only be used for bass plus i am a beginner at fishing for one year so i can use all the help i can get thanks
I run braid 15lbs. Don't want to put new line on reel. Can I use a swivel with leader?
This is the last video I have seen from Gene. Nothing is updating for me or he stopped posting. Does anyone know if he is still posting to RUclips?
Hey man I love your videos! I had a question that I hope someone can answer. I started bass fishing about a year ago, I would say my favorite thing would be using a plastic worm or just plastics at my lake. I usually just use a Texas rig with yamamoto black and blue flake 5" worm and a pegged bullet weight. My question is I will throw out let it sink to the bottom every 5 to 30 seconds pull up real My slack in and I can usually feel some form of weeds. I will hold my line somewhat tight let it sit and maybe 5 10 seconds later it feels like it drops and my line isn't that tight anymore and goes to a bow, curious to know if that could be a bite or a bass that took it towards me. It doesn't happen all the time just sometimes. I don't see much movement besides not feeling the tight line anymore and feels like ghe worm dropped and then I see a bow in my line. Thank you for anyone to respond to this.
Braid for me. Then if clear water tie on a flouro leader.
when will you post a new video??
What size hook we using for the finesse hook a 2/0 or 3/0? And thanks for the videos!
I used to 2/0 for downsizing and 3/0 the rest of the time.
What do I throw when the water is just starting to ice over?
Is the Texas rig suited for pike fishing?
You should do a video on toad fishing and differences from a frog.
What is that folding net? I want to buy one.
You still use the angler bullseye?
What is the best way to get smallmouth bass?
👍
Everything ok, haven't heard from you in a while
Gene did you just give up on making new Video's. Been 4 months and we have not got a new video.
I am trying to get into bass fishing Kayaks tournaments how do I go about doing it
Join Kayak Bass Fishing (KBF) and then find a KBF Ambassador Club in your area and contact their president. He/she will get you started.
To me, there’s no more satisfying way of catching a fish than on a soft plastic. It’s like you did it, you fooled them, you beat them at their own game. That being said: Gene, it’s been 8 days. I don’t mind rewatching last week’s video but where’s the new one? The weekend is coming up, that means it’s fishing time and I need some more info
What about weightless
Hi, what state are you in?
For some reason every time I reel down to remove the slack line my line is always a little slacked and I think its causing my presentation to not act right in the water. I feel like I can't get it to raise up. More just drag towards me. I'm not sure if that makes sense but I'm doing something wrong 😂
Go find some shallow clear water and spend some time getting to know what your bait is doing as you move it around. Pay particular attention to how it feels when it's rising and falling and bumping into things.
Fluke where you at man, hope all is well!
Hunting. And family stuff
a couple fish jumping around 12:13
If an 8 pound monofilament fishing line has a stretch of 15%, that means that is the maximum amount of stretch before line failure,
It does not mean that the same 8 pound test line would stretch the whole 15% for a 2 or 3 pounder,...
Gene I love you and your videos but you really got my hopes up when you said you’d be making more videos this year 😔
Alright man I've been in Georgia for 6 years and I can't catch a damb thing I have done all your tricks the drop shot the Texas rig the spinners the chatter Bates the frog I even a Bobber I can't catch anything and it's driving me nuts and I recognize some of the spots you went fishing the Rocky Mountain projects things like that and I still can't catch nothing what am I doing wrong
Literally only caught fish this year on a Texas rig, a Chatterbait, and a fluke.
Needing an immediate response please !!! Have you contacted me within the past half hour?
That Seagaur line you are talking about is $25...not $9
There’s new line out on the budget.
I think I put the wrong line in the description. Sorry about that. I was in a hurry. I’ll fix it asap.
I fixed the link. Thanks
you just cut out the part where you bite off your line LOL I hope your dentist reads this LOL
LOL. My son must have edited that out.
Young fisherman googles “what is pegging”…. Gets something he can’t unsee and ruins the fishing day.
No..... Don't do that. LOL
@@Flukemaster absolutely not lol
@Flukemaster heads up. Someone is spamming your comments using your logo to impersonate you. I reported it. Just letting you know.
Your comment about a slow reel being miserable,,,
But I noticed when you catch a fish you reel it in so fast It's practically skiing on the surface. Why don't you slow down and relax and enjoy playing it a little bit???
Warning to everyone there is a scammer impersonating fluke master and his logo
Never mind they just confirmed its a scam!!!
