Whether you need a sinker with your lures depends on where you are fishing for flathead. In deep waters, adding a sinker to your lure can help. However, a sinker is usually unnecessary if you are fishing for flathead in shallow waters. A weighted jighead or lure will often prove a better option than using a sinker in your rig presentation.
People Also Ask
Soft plastics, paddle tails or curl-tail grubs, and hardbody diving lures are top choices for catching flathead. The best lure heavily depends on local conditions, water clarity, and the size of baitfish present in the area.
Early morning and late afternoon during the tide change are prime times. Flathead also respond well to lures during overcast conditions.
Flathead prefer to hide in structures like weed beds, rock beds, and sand flats. Focus on rivers, estuaries, and coastal inlets with sandy or muddy bottoms and structures like jetties, bridges and pylons. In warmer months, they'll venture into shallower waters, making it easier to find them.
Lures between 60mm and 100mm are ideal for flathead, as they strike aggressively and are known to take both small and large profiles.
Flathead respond well to both soft plastics and hardbody lures; the choice depends on the setting. Soft plastics tend to be more effective in estuary systems where flathead are ambush predators. Their flexibility and lifelike action allow them to closely mimic injured prey fish, which flathead find irresistible. Hardbodies are great when covering more ground. They create vibration and flash that can attract flathead from greater distances, especially in murky water.
