Fluke 6 inch gulp

[bunker dunker]

stinger hook is the answer as stated above.

I figured a decent fluke would take that grub down pretty quick, but next time I'm going to try a stinger hook or shorten the grub. I appreciate the responses guys. Also, do you guys bother using a teaser or just use a jig? If you do use a teaser, do you put a 6 inch on top also?

Typically yes they do inhale the whole grub, but this year they have been just nipping at the ends, its like they are biting out of instinct versus actually being hungry and wanting it. Even up in MA its been the same way. And yes use a teaser like a foot above the bucktail with either a hair teaser and bait or gulp also with a stinger!

Yeah they keep biting my tails off. Seems like they are only nipping at it out of curiosity. But I think once I add the stinger that will help. Thanks for the advice.

using a stinger hook with gulp? Not sure I've ever seen this technique . I got know how to rig this please send pic. I just can't see it how do you get 2 hooks thru single 6" grub with out A) destroying the grub or B) messing up the acrimony of the gulp? I gots to know

I use what some of my buds call a "wonder rig"... 3 way swivel with the Spro about a foot from the swivel and a "teaser" about 2' long. I've been catching pretty regularly using a swimming mullet gulp (4 or 5 inch) on the Spro and the 6" grub on the teaser with a meat strip. I lose some grub tails but, on those days, I wait a "5 count" before I set the hook. The "Let 'em chew" strategy works well when they're short striking. Good luck!!

Agree, drop back or "Let 'em chew" strategy is the key with the large bait. 7/0 hook means you'll seldom gut hook a short fish and you won't get "tailed" as often.

The stinger hook can just flop around - it does not have to go thru the grub

[Joey Dah Fish]

Interesting. So you think it does not disturb the action of the gulp?

I trim them down to especially the big 8 inch ones I got
