Default Re: One nice keeper

Drift socks R a must on a fluke boat , my boat weighed in a 9 tons & with the sock 2.5 drift reduced down to 1.9 or so now u can fish !
Also in sticky make sure ur jig is heavy enough to keep scope to minimum , more scope more snags!
Also football or ball heads seem to ride thru this stuff better . I never preferred big jigs so I would add weight above jig / teaser to keep me upright !
Many anglers feel the heavier jigs work fine but never produced much for me, in fact many of my bigger fluke R on the teaser w/ bait of choice .
Also with light braid u can fish smaller jigs in the deep & maintain decent scope !
When I fish em' like this no teaser added . Heavier braid only floats jig more , u always use top shot anyway , so lighter braid is definitely ny choice.
This applies to fishing bait as well .
