My Top 5 July Shallow Water Baits

[@carterrobert7063]

The SMH worms are great! The z-man plastics are buoyant so the tails float up when on a jig head. They're incredible in the summer because you can leave them in one spot and just shake em. The GrandeBass air tail wigglers also float up for those of you who are looking for better shakey head plastics!

[@Flukemaster]

Right on

[@joelvogt2355]

Brother you’re losing some weight 👍👍

[@Flukemaster]

Yes I am. Thanks

[@PHATBASSASSASSIN]

I noticed that last couple videos I had to go back and look at other videos my wife said what are you doing I said I believe the fluke master has lost weight she was like who is that haha😂 I said oh let me fill ya in!

[@brainchilddesigner]

Came here to say the same thing

[@chherrera777]

You beat me to that same comment! Looking like a slim fluke bait. 🎣

[@e.7949]

Hi Gene, looking good Youre the reason i have alot of fun fishing! thank you for inspiring me to become better

[@pat632]

Thanks Gene for this great and informative video!! I'm living in the Netherlands, but your tips and trics are always welcome!

[@ChrisW0118]

Always so much fun watching your baits of the month video's. You're always giving positivity, to them and inspiring your viewers. Thank you.

[@Flukemaster]

I appreciate that!

[@BenHolliday1]

Wacky is the juice. You can use clear electrical shrink wrap instead of those crossover rings. Then push a nail weight perpendicular into the shrink wrap and it holds the weight better too.

[@stevesmith7164]

Good video Gene, looking forward to the next one 👍

So about 2 yrs ago I stumbled on your channel I was a bit lost on things. I decided to go buy a white swim jig and a Zako white trailer, I started catching fish left and right. Even in ponds where there are zero shad. Then during the winter I got at black and blue jig. And added a bluegrass magic trailer from 6th sense and caught the fire out of them Now I’d like to share 2 of my faith you. I’m sure you already fish them but here they are A Daiwa neko macho worm in bubble gum with the tush hook from core tackle It glides so good and works very well in stained muddy water or where the bottom appears black Like lake oconee. I’m telling you , any lure in a pink/ bubble gum color is the jam Or a heddon one knocker walking bait in a bone color

[@Flukemaster]

Those sound great. I’ll give them a try. Thanks

[@hunterw6938]

I'm new to bass fishing and i live in Greenbay, so i love the videos and love the hat!

[@Nate_Higgins]

Man, i feel the same way about the wacky. I'll usually stay on the shakey when i should give up and go to the wacky. And get beat. I usually throw it on a flick shake head because i lack patience.

[@walterwest7457]

Another great video, thanks Gene

[@matthall8378]

I got 10 Largemouth on a green pumpkin bitsy bug with a green pumpkin rage menace trailer today rigged the same way! I swim it and they just hammer it. You dont even gotta set the hook. Just reel it and they are hooked ! That has been the ticket the last week on my river in Ohio. There is no grass just wood and rock. I just use 10 lb mono for that set up. Its my new fav go to bait!

[@Tonysoutdoorandedc]

Awesome vid as always good sir 🤙

[@vernervanschalkwyk2280]

Gene, can you please make is mere mortals another bank fishing video?

[@nessfittraining9679]

What’s the purpose of a leader and if fishing around lily pads what type of leader is best? Good video thank you.

[@NeilGraham.I.M.F]

Good stuff gene

[@kessq8753]

Collab with Milliken Fishing soon?

[@kongvang4132]

The mojo rig could have been one of the baits for grass fishing right?

[@Flukemaster]

Yes

[@pweehurman6955]

Are these baits good here in Michigan now also

[@stevenbartell8065]

Great video. What size hook are you using on your speed worms?

[@Flukemaster]

4/0 most of the time.

[@angelo773]

@@Flukemaster are you using g finesse hyrbrid worm hook by gamakatsu?

[@TopWaterAssassin78]

Looking good Gene, you can definitely see how thinner your face looks. Keep up the good work.

[@roygraham6665]

Love a wacky rig. I rig mine a bit different for deep water. Going to sound crazy but catching 3 bass in a row convinced me it works. Carolina rig it but instead of using a conventional weight I tied a dropshot weight about 2 ft above it. Goes thru the rocks very well. Like I said sounds crazy but it works very well. Thanks for the vid.

Are you sponsored by Kastking or just a fan of there products ?

[@randallrandolph4977]

Hey where did Gene go. Hey man great video. But I just don’t get the concept of a swim jig😢

[@Flukemaster]

I didn’t get it for years. Then I started thinking of it as a crankbait that never gets snagged and everything clicked.

[@yolandachristopher4076]

Im watching your video i thought you were on land😂😂😂😂😂😂😅😅😅😅

[@kongvang4132]

If you still have your 13 fishing muze frog rod, I'd like to buy it

[@Flukemaster]

I’m going to hang on to it but I know that Dobyns rods makes a 6’8” Heavy Fast rod that is very close to it.

[@funkymojo111]

If you don't have any light weights with you but don't want to go weightless, add a bead and bobber stop it in place. Glass beads are little heavier than plastic beads.

[@Flukemaster]

That’s great advice. Thanks
