Basically, its a 1 oz or so bucktail jig with the hook clipped off, tied on a 1 foot leader off one eye of a 3 way swivel with another longer leader maybe 18 inches that has a small , REALLY small hook tied on, and is baited with a killie.. The rig looks fine for loading up on 15 inch fluke, but that #4 hook is better suited to fishing for crappies. or maybe small sand porgies.. a 5 or 6 pounder on this rig??.. maybe , but you'd have to be all ass to pull it off.
It looks ok for rivers with a lot of cabbage, but IMHO, the plain old jig and teaser looks WAYYY better for ocean fish... Go on youtube and type in "Fluke Wonder Rig", and there are videos... IMHO, that guy must miss a LOT of hits when fluke grab that bucktail sans hook.. In my opinion, in the rivers you would catch just as many fluke on a plain old live killie rig with a small egg sinker painted white .. I wasn't impressed personally.. The Shrewsbury and Navasink systems are stiff with smaller fluke in June some years, and using live killies or plain spearing can get any good fisherman several dozen hookups in a few hours on the right day... I would not use the rig as shown for fishing structure, or even the big deep channels around the Hook... bob
