Thanks for the comments. I always like to address some of the questions.
Yes. The back bays are the prime locations for using this rig due to the abundance of killies as natural prey. Perhaps peanut bunker or snappers would do well in the ocean but it is difficult to keep them as lively as a killie. Even with a good live well. I think that a strip bait may work well in the deeper water rigged the same way.

The video does show mostly dragging or dead sticking because you have to remember that there's a sizeable video camera being pulled along in front of the rig. However, in the same water i use rods that i constantly work and jig and get the same results. 95%of the hits are on the killie. The bucktails are not unusually large - 1oz. This may be a camera distortion.

Regarding the hook, I get the most flack about this subject. What size hook do they catch 500lb bluefin tuna with? Relatively speaking it's a tiny hook compared to the size of the animal. I have another video coming soon that shows how great this hook is for fluke of all sizes. You will see it soon and make up your own mind. But, until you actually try it for yourself you will never believe me so I'm not going to bother defending this perfect little hook any longer.

Thanks again for watching. By having these discussions we are continually examining and learning how to improve our fishing practices.
