I Wonder how much controversy the Wonder Rig is going to stir up this year - seams like it's always the same. I hope you can all agree that the entire purpose of this rig, videos, discussion, etc. is to show people (mostly newbies to fluke fishing) a simple, yet very (very) effective way to catch lots of fluke - both large and small. Perfect for kids - but I'm not a kid and I use it in the shallows whenever I fluke fish. Prior to using this rig I was bouncing jigs just like the guys all around me and not catching much. Now they all Wonder what I am doing. I actually thought of another good tag line for it today. . .
The Wonder Rig - you can't buy it, just learn how to tie it!
Just got back from a couple hours in the Shrews this afternoon and it was on fire once again. Got a beautiful 24 incher, along with a 23, 22, 20 and after we limited out we were throwing back 19 inch fish.
Still think the #4 red Gama Octo is too small for 24 inch fluke - check the photo. Right in the lip.
To damnyankee - I know you're just having a discussion about this topic but try to understand that I put this info out there to the world to help people out who don't have the knowledge of an otherwise experienced fisherman - like I was once - like you were once. That's why Gerry created this forum and I'd like to think that my videos, photos, and experiments on the water have helped many, many people improve their fluke catching ability. (and you should try the Survivor Diet - lots of fun!
)
