Surgeon's Knot / Flukes

[Presco]

A few weeks ago on In-Fishermen, Doug Strange used this technique to target bass. I know exactly where he was so I assume this technique is legal to use in Minnesota. Was curious if anyone had ever tried this with any success? It would seem to me you would always be dealing with the lines twisting together. I thought I'd use it to cover water with a couple different colored flukes. Figure out what they wanted on a particular day. Anyway, just curious.

so your talking about running 2 flukes side by side? If so, I would think that is NOT legal in MN. Just because someone else does it, does not make it legal.

[Presco]

Yes, he was running two flukes on one line. I know what lake he was on and it was Minnesota, one the DNR is on all the time. I would think its illegal too, but Doug is not one to break the law. Anyway, if its illegal, thats fine, was just curious as it looked like an interesting technique.

NOPE NOT LEGAL in mn except on boarder waters

and i think bill semetal(sp) has some ways of making it even better

Me and my buddy messed with it on the river and it does have insane action.

So this is legal on the river IKE?

Yes, you can use 2 lines on the border waters of the river (St Croix Confluence to the border) so this rig would be legal there since it is considered 2 lines
