Default Re: Bucktailing vs Dragging Bait

I have done both and I feel that it's all about the conditions . I'm not confortable with fishing the jigs heavier than 2 0z . I think that the fluke can feel that there's something wrong and spit the bigger jigs . Where draggin bait is a better presentation when you need 6 or more oz's to hold bottom . Knowing when your bit is more important than what you are throwing/dragging . Sunday Afternoon most of the keepers were caught draggin bait . Squid/Spearing combo platter , Snapper Blues , and some Gulp fish . It's sort of like Plastic worms vs. Nightcrawlers . They both catch their share but the meat catches more small fish .
