Awesome video, thanks, I have good luck with high low rig. I used to make my own jigs also, just as easy to buy jigs and put together your own rigs. Thanks again, see you on the water!
Very effective rig. I use it from Jersey to Nantucket. Mixing sizes and teasers accordingly.
Really good tutorial with lots of great information. Thanks! Subscribed!
My fav is the 1/4oz spro on the top on a cut dropper it is absolutely deadly.
very informative video..i do alot of fluke fishing..ive experimented and played with about every kind of terminal tackle on the market including making my own stuff as well..few things you didnt mention that mite be helpful also,,,i go over every thread collar on bucktails with sally hansens hard as nails liberally and it will greatly increase the bucktail life as the thread collar can fray and come apart after only several fish sumtimes..i also found out but never heard anyone mention it but especially in colder water temps fluking by putting your bucktail on the dropper loop and your teaser on the point loop..this keeps both jigs closer to each other and closer to the bottom and 100% at times there was a much better hook up ratio in doing so..we do that alot being a flyfisherman and fishing double nymph rigs..i myself am not a big fan of the swing hook bucktails as for me the hookup percentage was lower as opposed to a fixed hook bucktail which for me i found better and much easier to unhook fish especially if your catching many on a trip but its all personal preference and a confidence thing...i do think s&s bucktails are made great and i mostly use them myself..tite lines and new subscriber..
Thank u. Did u make the video tying the knot using a rope lol
You never did a spoon video. Maybe this year
nice video, looks like the san Diego double jam knot. It's prob the only terminal knot where fluoro beats mono. def the best fluoro knot to tie to a swivel, you know your stuff 👍
When you use a 5 - 6 oz bucktail, do you prefer to change to a rod with a stiffer tip on it, as compared to using a smaller bucktail with a rod with a lighter tip on it?
Great question. Absolutely! The 7' Heavy Nexus (without the tip cut off) is great for 3/4oz to 3oz bucktails and the 7' XHeavy is great for 4 to 6oz. bucktails. Thanks again for the question.
I cut the dropper on one side so its a single piece.
Do you think the eye on the Skinner bucktail is too far forward? Seems like it would be better for casting than vertical jigging. Curious on your opinion.
Hey bud. Thanks for the question. I don't think so at all. That bucktail has caught so many huge Fluke and I think it's just right. John Skinner is probably the most successful Fluke fisherman in the world so if he uses it, I think that speaks for itself. I think it's perfect. Thanks again for the question!
What’s you line rod and reel set up for using these rigs
We have a few! Coming up in the next video! Thanks for the question!
I was wondering do you have a rod recommendation for inshore around 5-10 feet of water? I generally use 3/8-1/2 ounce bucktail
The Jigging World Nexus 7'0 MH or 7'0 H would be a great choice!

John Skinner has a new fluke rod by dark matters from J and H tackle.
Excellent fluke rod.
@@richardkohut4309 Yes! We just received a few! Can't wait to try them!

John often fishes on my boat.
I have learned a lot from him. His products are excellent.
This might be a very basic question but when jigging, are you bringing the buck tail off the bottom or keeping the buck tail on the bottom and just making the teaser move?
Great question. 99% of the time we are keeping the bucktail just touching/nicking the bottom. The speed and amount of action is varied depending of the time of year, and aggressiveness of the fish. The main thing to remember is to never drag it dead on the bottom. There's times when we'll increase or decrease how far we lift it off the bottom (sometimes a couple inches and sometimes up to a foot) but it's always just touching and moving. That's another reason we prefer the S&S swing hooks. Great question and thanks for watching!
@@nextdriftfishing thank you! Love the channel!!
Do you believe a buck tail is worth jigging when using over 4oz?
Great question. Absolutely! Some of our biggest fluke have come on 5 & 6oz bucktails jigging them. Remember, the weight of the bucktail is dictated by the speed of the current. I want to keep the bucktail as vertical as possible for as long as possible. So if the current is moving fast, I go heavier. As the current slows, I go lighter. The presentation/action on the bucktail should remain the same. In other words, regardless of the weight, keep that baby bouncing!
@@nextdriftfishing thanks for that information, I will have to try that out this year. I was just going through my fluke jigs and I was trying to figure out what I need for this year
I will try to use bucktail with the high low rig for halibut here in NorCal. Thanks for the info. I fish in a kayak
jigging to Midnight Express
Confusing
Thanks for watching!
