The Fluchs (pronounced 'Flux') was the first yo-yo produced by Anti-Yo, limited to 225 pieces. The plan was to release the yo-yo for 3 months to be sold to the public, and then to buy back the leftover units. The Fluchs had contrasting black and pink halves in a special coating, the Slip Matte finish, which reduces friction during palm grinds. The bearing seat is also designed in a way so that the user can install a KonKave bearing without any need for shims.

| - The Fluchs (pronounced 'Flux') was the first yo-yo produced by Anti-Yo, limited to 225 pieces. The plan was to release the yo-yo for 3 months to be sold to the public, and then to buy back the leftover units. The Fluchs had contrasting black and pink halves in a special coating, the Slip Matte finish, which reduces friction during palm grinds. The bearing seat is also designed in a way so that the user can install a KonKave bearing without any need for shims. Ironically, the finish, which was one of the yo-yo's biggest selling points, was also a cause for its partial failure. Since the coating covered absolutely every part of the yo-yo, the designers had to take that into account when choosing an axle diameter. The original axle was slightly too small, as well as short, causing wobbling issues. A simple mod to fix this is a single layer of scotch tape over the whole length of the axle. This allows it to fit snugly into the threading half of the yo-yo, reducing the vibrations. There was going to be a Fluchs 2, which featured a large-bearing SPR set-up from Buzz-On Industries and a Dif-e-Yo KonKave bearing. An agreement between Anti-Yo and Buzz-On could not be reached, so it did not reach the production phase. Only one prototype Fluchs 2 yo-yo was ever made.
