i did notice the barbs on the spros are very small thus allowing the hook to slide back out instead of grabbin ....that i think contributed to my drops and misses .....i will def check out bucks with bigger hooks ! i refuse to go out a loser again this year and hearing the bs lol ....

Good luck in 2015 I hope it's a great one. Fluke fishing is my favorite I actually spent the last few nights thinking about summer fluking and had a tough time getting to sleep haha

Also, you might want to think about getting away from a stationary hook.( Spro bucktails) The stationary hook allows the hook to pop too many times when a fluke does his tell tale head shake. In my opinion you will lose less fish with a swinging hook and gain more action with your presentation.

Perhaps the rod tip is too stiff. I'll assume your using Braided line.
Fluke have a lot of soft tissue in their mouths and with no stretch line, a stiff tipped rod will tear a hole in their mouths. A softer tipped rod with proper parabolic balance, medium/heavy fast tip may cure your dropseys. Good Luck in 2015 |

i started making my own bucktails for last year's fluke season and i had my best season for fluke hands down. i put a 4-5lbs fluke in the boat every weekend for about 5 weeks in a row. 7/0 hooks on my 2oz and 3oz, 8/0 hooks on my 4-8oz. I messed with the colors and made some variations on popular spro colors and even made one with sea robin colors (my best big fish bucktail last season), i felt like little variations on styles we all know work great made it work even better!
