Is it true that Spro bucktails (or any bucktail with an eyeball). Tend to catch more sea robins? Love the teasers. White seems to work best for me. Great video Thank you
Good vid! I've been tying my own fluke rigs and they all are very similar to yours. I tie hi-lo rigs, bucktail rigs and what I call sea bass rigs using rubber squids. They are all very effective. I'm gonna tie some popcorn rigs now. I also like your method of using a mylar teaser between the squid and the hook, it looks deadly! (I've been using beads to keep the squid from sliding down over the hook). These rigs are also great for weakfish as well. Thanks and tight lines!
Did a Fluke trip last year with the Helen H and by far the high low rig was the simplest and the best for the drift conditions. Had to use 16 oz. to hold bottom and not scope out and get tangled up with other people on the boat.
Im curious about the 20 oz lead, forgive me if its a stupid question but was that a mistake? Do you really use that much weight and if so please tell me why? Im fishing LI sound and typically im using 3-4 oz. Awesome rig though, thanks for sharing
Generally we find it's better to keep the sinker on the bottom and not bounce it, as this can spook fish. That said, sometimes a gentle lift of the rig can entice a bite - as long as you're not 'pounding bottom' too much and scattering sand everywhere.
I noticed when I go fishing for fluke and use a bucktail and teaser from shore I get a lot of shorts but if I use a single buck tail or jig head with no teaser I get more keeper size fluke fishing from shore
Thank you for informative video. Future tip: I know this wasn't a knot tying specific demo but wear a black shirt/have a dark back ground. It makes the leader stand out much better when demonstrating tying the knots
Great instruction and well presented video, but a dark shirt would help some of us older fellas. I have a similar set-up, but will try yours for sure with grand kids along. Thanks a bunch.
You do know that you were showing us knots in clear line against the white background of your shirt, right? I might as well be watching a magician do tricks.😂😂😂😂
Would this be effective from shore? Or are there better rigs for specifically fishing from like the beach or maybe a jetty? Thanks in advance, freshwater guy trying to learn saltwater here
look up on UA-cam... 1.John Skinner 2.From the Surf NJ 3..Cooking and Fishing ....all your questions will be answered...YES...you can use a similar rig from shore
@@arisdelis1 thanks for the suggestions! I already love the first two and I wasn't familiar with that third one so I'm definitely going to check them out. Really love from the surf NJ I hope he posts again soon
I cast a spro bucktail with a 4" gulp mullet when fluking from the shore.. The weight of the bucktail is determined by the wind and current. When retrieving I twitch my rod tip and sometimes I use the snap jigging method. Try to keep the bucktail from bouncing on the bottom, you want it to be 6" to 12" off the bottom. If you are hitting the bottom go to a lighter bucktail. I usually walk the beach when fishing, I find more fish that way. Good luck!
This is a good video. You may want to consider wearing a dark shirt next time. It's very difficult for me to see what you're actually doing because of the contrast between the clear line and bright white shirt.
Oh shit, 😂😂😂. Shots fired. I never have and never will fish a swing hook. Just seems common sense to not give the hook shank an extra pivot point for the weight or bucktail to shake it loose.
No specific rig is going to catch you any bigger fluke then normal. I've caught multiple double digit fluke here in jersey on the same rigs I use and catch thousands of shorts with
“Fluking is fun, and fishing is expensive.” Truer words.
Clear and simple. Excellent presentation and advice!
Appreciate the simplicity of your style, makes things easy to understand, thanks...

Great Video Captain
Real nice vid from a knowledgeable captain. Thanks Jeff

Do we jig this rig? The hi lo, or just let it sit? What my concern is the sinker being so close to the bottom hook could be a problem?
Excellent job captain 👍

Great video - excellent tips!!
On the high/low, do you bounce the sinker on and off the bottom while jigging? Or does the sinker stay on the floor?
Generally we find it's better to keep the sinker on the bottom and not bounce it, as this can spook fish. That said, sometimes a gentle lift of the rig can entice a bite - as long as you're not 'pounding bottom' too much and scattering sand everywhere.

Great video.. thanks for the tips..
I agree, I tried large bucktails they get expensive and lead works fine.
Tight Lines
can you use this if you are shore fishing? i live in RI and i mostly do shore fishing
Excellent DIY. I use dropshot rig and they work really well!
Thanks. Very practical.
Thank you for informative video. Future tip: I know this wasn't a knot tying specific demo but wear a black shirt/have a dark back ground. It makes the leader stand out much better when demonstrating tying the knots
fluorescent line and a black light makes knots stand out so well it's insane, especially for people watching on phones. That's my recommendation
You should provide a list to the tackle you used.
When do you lock the reel? When the rig hits the bottom?
Great instruction and well presented video, but a dark shirt would help some of us older fellas. I have a similar set-up, but will try yours for sure with grand kids along. Thanks a bunch.
Where do you get molar? Does Cabellas sell them
100%. Thanks!
what squid bait is that? have a link of where to buy?
Jeff do you use a shock leader and how long above braid ?

Can’t imagine you would want to cast a hi/low rig. I cast chunk bait with a fish finder rig.

Definitely you ideally want to keep swim your rig not drag it.

Nice video
Love those pliers. Is it also a spilt ring to?
Thanks
Thanks for the white shirt...!
How can I purchase that rig from you? I would like to duplicate it.

Did this man just say 8” at 1:29 💀 people really really can’t judge lengths
Great knot no nonsense, just a little tip bro. Wear a dark coloured shirt.
Interesting, but use a clack shirt so we might see the work.
Great vid Jeff, see you soon pal. Daly
Oh shit, 😂😂😂. Shots fired. I never have and never will fish a swing hook. Just seems common sense to not give the hook shank an extra pivot point for the weight or bucktail to shake it loose.
Hey Jeff, Wear a dark shirt next time, so we can see the line better. Good info and good video.
So I’m guessing with this style, you don’t rapid jig this? I like rapid jigging
No concept of inches 😂😂
You failed to mention shock leaders
Next time wear a DARK Shirt. It helps Us see what You're doing.
You should wear a black shirt when tying those rigs.
Can’t see the line with all of the white. White line, white shirt, white walls, all is transcending the line.
Had me scared when you said 60, then explained why 60 to demonstrate, i was thinking to myself, what is this man trying to catch? A cinderblock? Lol
He uses heavy line so you can see, but, he has a white shirt with white background with white line, so you can see s…!
No specific rig is going to catch you any bigger fluke then normal. I've caught multiple double digit fluke here in jersey on the same rigs I use and catch thousands of shorts with
Please wear a black shirt next time. Easier to see line
How bout zooming in on the knots ur teaching rather than a far away shot of u. Have no idea how to tie these knots. Can't see what ur doing.
