Fishing Tip – Bucktails and Teasers for Fluke
July 20th, 2008One of THE most fun and effective ways to catch Fluke is by using bucktails and Jigs with Teasers tied above them. Some of the most popular jigs are the Spro Bucktails, Braid Thumper Jigs and Fluke Bullets. These are typically tied directly to the bottom of your leader and act as the sinker…. so it pays to have a number of different sizes to accommodate varying conditions.
Using one or sometimes even two teasers above the jigs can be paramount, and in many cases the teasers will catch MORE than the jigs will. The teaser should be no more than 12 to 18 inches above the jig and if you’re going to use more than one teaser we would suggest keeping them about 12″ above the jig and 12″ apart.
In some cases, when the current is simply too strong to use the jigs, and they aren’t keeping you on the bottom, try using just a plain sinker, as heavy as you need, with the teasers tied above it. This was you stay on the bottom and like I mentioned earlier… the teasers are sometimes more effective than the jigs!!
Got get em!!
