Fluke fishing in deep water demands a bucktail that gets down fast, moves naturally, and hooks fish reliably. Dark Matter John Skinner Swing Hook Fluke Bucktails were engineered exactly for that purpose. Built to the precise specifications of the most influential fluke angler in the country, these jigs combine the right head shape, the right action, and the right hook to help you put more fluke on the deck.
Each bucktail uses a minnow-style head and a custom 3X-strong baitholder siwash swing hookrazor sharp, corrosion-resistant, and designed to pivot freely for maximum movement. Add Gulp! or your go-to trailer and the presentation comes alive. Like all Dark Matter bucktails, the hair density is dialed in perfectlynever too sparse, never overdonegiving you the full, balanced profile that consistently gets bites.
Heres what John Skinner has to say about his bucktails:
These jigs overcome key challenges met by anglers jigging fluke (Summer Flounder) from deep water. Despite weights up to six ounces, these jigs all have hooks that are sized appropriately for fluke fishing. Theyre sharp right out of the package and wont rust. While it can be difficult to put lively action on a heavy jig, the swing hook produces an undulating action with the slightest twitch of the rod tip. Best of all, these are high quality made jigs with proper hair density, durable paint finishes, and theyre built to last.
Dark Matter John Skinner Swing Hook Fluke Bucktails come in 3/43 oz. The 3/42 oz models are offered in White, while the 3 oz size uses glow for deep-water visibility. All weights are available in Chartreuse/White and Pink/White.
