Bucktails and gulp seems to work better and I tried your rig last year with little luck, but it was much deeper water and I'd have trouble arguing your success based on these videos. I was also using a much larger 2/0 hook. A size 4 while clearly working seems too small for Fluke with their huge mouths.
Good point! The killie is not a natural prey item in the ocean. It is a prey item in shallow backwater areas, which is where both juvenile fluke and killies reside. Use a killie in the deep and more often than not you will catch small fish or sea robins. Great video though and thank you for sharing.
