You are correct of course, but its a trade off.. That #4 is simply too small for fluke fishing .. Yes you will catch some, and you did great your first time with the rig... However using porgy/flounder hooks for fluke is going to lose you a lot of nice fish over time.. Killies catch fluke as well as anything else, but tend to catch a lot of shorts... Thats fine as I personally consider the "wonder rig" more for rivers and shallow bay areas, maybe big tidal creeks that hold smaller fluke.
Using a #4 hook on big deep water fluke will make for a lot of problems, and a a lot of gut hooked fluke... bob
