Fluke Rod & Reel for bucktail question
I am a freshwater bass fisherman. I have been to fluke fishing only a few times. What would be the recommended Rod & Reel for bucktail fluke fishing? What would be the recommended weight for bucktail? I remember using 8 oz sinker and it still wasn't enough to hold the bottom.
Thank you. P.S. Sorry for not being more detailed on my questions. 1. I will be fishing at the Bay. 2. Conventional Reel 3. Price: $200-$400 for both rod & reel. |

Where are you fishing? How deep? Bay or Ocean

As you see, you left it kinda wide open and also didn't talk about cost.
Bucktail weight will always depends on the conditions. I understand being so north, but take a trip to see pete on your way to a head boat and he will set you up. Get two setups... light spinning outfit for bucktailing up to 2oz... and a little heavier conventional that can hold that 8oz days. Then fish the conditions. Add some more info, you'll get a better answer. |

Btw... Don't forget to practice your underhand casting.

Some of your fresh water equipment will suffice in the back of Raritan Bay,or on the flats inside the hook etc.......
Take some down with you & stop in at Pete's on the way to AH party boats. I'm certain he can steer you right with terminal tackle and a new set-up or two if necessary. |

I would go with a shimano inshore trevalla rod. rating determined by the jig weight you want. most guys pair them with a shimano curado 300EJ awesome jigging combo super light but extremely powerful. if you get the 50-80lb 6'3'' you can jig 8-10oz bucktails with no issues all day long. In my opinion it is probably the single best rod for buctailing on the market today

Drag bait on a party boat. Check out the guys jigging AND catching. Ask them for advice.
