My younger brother is heading out on a friends boat from Pt Pleasant this weekend for some Fluking, so I will be taking a ride to Dick's to pick him up some goodies. I've read the Gulp Swimming Mullets seem to be killer in the 4" size, so I will be grabbing him some, along with the traditional bottom bait rigs I've used in the past. How heavy of a bucktail should I rig the Gulp with? I obviously will pick him up a few different sizes for different possible conditions out there. Would a medium action spinning setup with 20lb PowerPro be sufficient? 100% of my jigging is done in freshwater for Walleye and Crappie, so please excuse my "newbness"! Thanks guys!
