Re: bucktailing fluke with 10lb braid
In the Raritan Bay or Sandy hook Channel lite bucktails and ''no srtucture'' is the ticket for ultra lite braid .As Alan said ,for structure you need a good strong top shot.Last summer the weakies were thick in Chappel Hill channel.10lb Braid and a 3/8oz buctail was a suicide rig.If you go on a PB you still have to control your fish to avoid tangles.I would use a min of 20lb braid.I am not a big advocate of braid for stripers but i do like it for fluking.Remember braid is unforgiving so set your drag properly.
