There is nothing wrong w/ your tecnique it is just a fact that deadsticking usally works better in fact senkos are much better than flukes you can fish them just like flukes but they fish better on the fall and more salt so cast further. The only time I would prefer a fluke over a senko is on a c-rig.

Hey let that Bass go I wanna catch her some day
