But like has been said bucktailling is what seems to be the real answer for reduced mortality but it's also not something you can just hand out a rental rod and have people do. So maybe the real answer here is bait draggers should be using 9/0 hooks and don't deadstick for fluke regardless?

The difference is those people bucktailing are tending their poles and they feel the strike....Its immistakeable. You get a strike and you feel it because you are in direct constant contact with the bucktail and teaser and your bait.
Much more difficult to detect strike when bait dragging. You got the sinker between you and your bait.
