One common issue amongst baits in this category is that the rear hook is often mounted, underneath a molded fin, or rudder. This helps to get the bait to swim a certain way, but the hookup percentage goes down when fish are swimming at a fast speed. This issue was considered when Murphy and the IMA team designed the Glide Fluke 125. Part of what they aimed to achieve was for this lure, to have a treble hook at the very back of its body. With lures like this, Seabass often miss the treble hook and having it there helps the angler land more fish. The floating version works well when fished, as a wake bait. The IMA Glide Fluke 125 will float very well and you can retrieve it with your rod tip pointing upwards and get a great action on the surface.

The IMA Glide Fluke 125 also performs an action on the surface. If you get into a steady rhythm with your retrieve, you can get this lure to kick side to side and have that hunting action to draw fish to the surface.

Many different retrieves will work. You can use the IMA Glide Fluke 125 like a soft Jerkbait. With a quick jerk of the rod, you can also get it to push down slightly and then come up, as it corrects itself. You can also walk it like a soft-plastic Jerkbait with a quick retrieve.
