Same. When I first started fishing flukes I would buy them in a kit with the hook included. The hook didn't have an eye to tie into it was more a bend that had a barb to go into the fluke itself. Those kits are long gone. So when I would buy the fluke and try to fish on a large bend worm hook I had a heck of a time getting the bait to swim right. When I switched to the screw on hook with a wieght the action is soooo much better.
