Fluorocarbon’s durability is an added bonus and can prevent bite-offs from incidental northern pike catches. The fluoro’s stiffness prevents a fluke from rolling backwards, and tangling in the braid when the jig’s aggressively snapped. Just as important is the 18-inch leader of 10- or 12-pound Berkley Trilene 100% Professional Grade Fluorocarbon. The white superline also acts as a strike indicator. Its no-stretch trait is key to get a fluke to dance erratically. Glorvigen uses 10-pound Berkley Fireline Crystal. Line details are critical for this presentation. Throwing big plastics, like a Zoom Super Fluke, mimics the struggling, kicking forage base that they’re feeding on.” They’re looking for struggling fish that are erratic in how they’re swimming. Consequently, they start to struggle and big predator fish take advantage of them,” Glorvigen said.

“The warm water weakens cold-water species, like whitefish and ciscoes. Here’s the scenario: As summer wanes in deep, natural lakes, these cold-water fish move from oxygen-depleted deep basins to warmer, oxygen-rich areas near or above the thermocline, usually around 28 to 35 feet. When walleye are hunting whitefish, ciscoes or other cold-water species near structure, Glorvigen wields a 5- to 7-inch Zoom Super Fluke on a 1/2- to 3/4-ounce Northland Fishing Tackle Mimic Minnow jig head.
