Come to find out the hard way that I was catching more fishing only holding bottom for a minute or 2 rather than being constantly vertice with a heavy weight...I know a lot of people that have great success with a 6 oz no matter what the condition but I feel that only works if you have the perfect rod. Also main line should be 15 or 20lb braid max and leader shouldn't be too heavy either unless u r in the sticky stuff. Just my thoughts but i watch a lot of John skinner also and those were the best tips I've gotten so far. Also idk how far up ur putting the teaser but I've had better success in the 6-8in level rather the 12in . I feel bucktailing is the most frustrating types of fishing at times but is the most rewarding . Keep trying and I hope this helps

I agree yesterday I shulda had a stinger hook missed several hits what are U using for stinger hook?? and how do you tie/set it up ??
The Fluke are after the flutter and the Gulp not the jig .
AA) I dont use the spro style anymore.
BB)Just use a ball or bullet lead head jig with the 6" grubs looks more natural.
CC) Dont use the Mullet ( any size) on a Jig head or the guppy spro style jig , try the gulp SWIMMING mullet on a plain bait holder hook, the Jigging world ones are great, cheap and sharp, example : 3" or 4" or 5" or 6" mullet use 3/0, 4/0,/50 or 6/0 bait holder hook as your teaser above your jig.
DD) Try reversing it use it as a trailer style rig, place the jig head above the baitholder hook tipped with the Gulp swimming mullet. Guy next to me yesterday had 10 keeps using that rig and the chartreuse 3" swimming mullet. all his fish were on the trailer, guy just quietly put a beating on em.
Also dont be afraid to try bait and gulp but not on the same hook I see so many peeps do that and it defeats the purpose of the gulp.
