What kinds of rods and reels should I keep on my boat for fluke fishing?

Answer by  macman (249)

Your gonna want to use spinning reels and rods unless you plan on weighting the flukes. Since the flukes are so light, a baitcasting rod will give you troubles. a 6'6" medium to medium heavy action spinning rod, with a spinning reel with a low retrieve ratio so you can fish it slower will do wonders for you

To keep things simple go for a 6.5 foot to 7 foot medium action rod. A spinning combo or casting combo will get the job done. A Penn rod/reel combo is also satisfactory.

Fluke fishing is extremely sporting in that you can often use light tackle to catch them. I would suggest that you keep medium action spinning rods and medium action reels designed to go on these types of rods handy.

For Fluke fishing you should have a durable salt water rod and reels. Reel must have a sturdy monofilament line of it.
