Fluke Type Mold

[RTL]

I would like to start injecting some Jerkbaits but I've been unable to find a mold that resembles the Fluke.

Anyone have any links to a fluke type mold?

I like the Do-It Wutz-It mold a lot.  I used to fish a lot of Flukes, but now only use those.

I was considering the Wutz-It but was unsure about the straight tail vs the Forked Tail that you have on the Flukes. A Forked Tail on a Wutz-It would have me SOLD!  hehe

[CrabbyBass]

Forked tail or not, they both perform the same when you jerk your rod tip.  That erratic action is awesome!  I was pretty hesitant myself.  I bought the mold off of someone and I am glad I did.  I say pull the trigger.  You will not be disappointed.

I find the action of the Wutz-It's to be very good; at least to me.  The tail design gives it a certain action.  I would suggest before you decide on a fluke mold, to order a sample pack and compare the action to other fluke style molds via a "swimming pool" type test.   In the past week I have been to the pool twice to test different bait characteristics against each other.  Across the shallow end ( for a good view ), down the slope ( or drop ) and more vertically in the deep end.  Low wind conditions really help to get a good look.  Found out some interesting stuff.  This does not automatically translate to a "fish magnet"; but will confirm if the baits action is what you are after.

I am also in the Wuttz-it camp. Same. Action as a fluke in my opinion. What always bothered me about most of the fluke baits was the unnatural horizontal tail...but it never seemed to bother the bass much!

I probably fish carrot baits (especially the 4") as jerk baits more than anything else. A carrot fished on a Do-it worm nose jig is really good for me.

RTL Bears makes a fluke or at least used to.  I like the Wuz-it better though.  More action.

A forked tail stabilizes the bait like an airplane tail.

The Wutzit has more erratic action without it.

The bears flukes (if still available) you can not do laminates.

My pb 8+ was on a watzit

Roger that on Bears. I can't do lamis...anyone want to trade some Bears for Do-it whatzits?

[hawgthumper]

I've had both Bears and the wutz-it. The wutz-it hands down is a better bait.  Is also better than a fluke imho.I don't have a pic to back it up but I've already caught one over 5 on a wutzit  this year. This bait has become the go to bait for me. Don't get me wrong, Bears twitchy is an excellent bait. Just not  as good as the Wutzit.

Thanks a bunch guys, I'm pulling the trigger today.

I have a fluke mold and a wutzit mold. Lakeside molds has a fluke. With lam plates. Both are very good molds. Both pour great. Never had a problem either one.

Crabbybass and another buddy last year were using the Flukes and killing them up here in IL.  I went out and bought a few packs and couldn't get a bite.  I tried and tried with no luck at all.  I stopped fishing them and when we got the Do-It Wutz it last fall, I started using them.  I have had great success with them and for the last 4-6 weeks have been catching 95% of my fish on them. I would recommend the laminate plate if you decide to get it.  The action on them is absolutely sick!!!!!!!  I love the 5" we have and would highly recommend it.  The mold shots very easy and without any issues.  Good luck on your decision.

[RTL]

Thank you Wilks19. I pulled the trigger on the 5" Wutz and the Lam plate. I just checked the status and it looks like the package will arrive tomorrow since it processed at 2:30am in Macon which is about 60 miles from here. Doubt it'll make it to me today. I'm very excited about this bait.

My first injects will be a White Pearls and some Baby Bass

[pjmcla]

Excellent first choice of a bait color.  You will enjoy the mold. The Wutz-Its inject in a very behaved manor for me.  Don't forget your bream colored baits, and shiners, and shads, and ....
