Re: Fluke 6 inch gulp
 

The stinger hook can just flop around - it does not have to go thru the grub

Re: Fluke 6 inch gulp
 

Interesting. So you think it does not disturb the action of the gulp?

I trim them down to especially the big 8 inch ones I got

Re: Fluke 6 inch gulp
 

When I used to use gulp ....add the grub to the bucktail then attach the stinger hook to the bend of the bucktail hook via a loop. I would the pass the stinger sideways at the base of where the curly tail started. The bucktail hook is vertical while the stinger hook is horizontal. That' s just the way I did it. I'm sure there are other ideas out there. Also if you just want to use a bucktail; no stinger I would recommend taking a bit of the grub off so that the hook of the bucktail comes out near the base of the curly tail. It's the action of the tail the fish see and peaks its interest......or you can just fish the wacky kwacky rig and forget all this bucktail/gulp shenanigans:D

And again... I wish Pure fishing (Berkeley Gulp) would just sell replacement swimming tails!!!! For focks sake !!!

Re: Fluke 6 inch gulp
 

I have had the tails bitten off also when fishing the ocean by the SHR. I don't think it's Fluke doing this. I think it's either small Sea Bass or Porgy's. There mouth are too small to be hooked most of the time but they are tearing off the tails!

Re: Fluke 6 inch gulp
 

Acrimony, that's a big word for you:D

Re: Fluke 6 inch gulp
 

$93 in tail-less Gulp later you'll have it figured out.....

Re: Fluke 6 inch gulp
 

here ya go. If this doesnt work the tails are getting hammered by sea bass and other small fish.

super simple rig
