Okay, this is my first tackle tips video
I've been using the half ounce pro
three-quarter ounce Spro a lot for fluking
really for the past decade and
I do not like using a teaser. I don't like having a second hook, so
99% of the time, I just have a single jig in the water as
such the presentation is very important and
As some of you may know
There's a really crappy hook keeper that comes with the SPRO jigs and I usually just cut it off
But I need some way to keep
The gulp grub tight against a hook shank
So it doesn't slide off with you know little fish or even fluke that missed missed a hook
Here, I'm tying a loop knot but I'll do another video on that
the point is
You know when you drop back to a fish that you missed you want to have some
Degree of confidence that your presentation
still looks nice and
having a
Grub, that's pulled halfway down the hook shank. It's not gonna get the job done so
after some brainstorming I came up with a
Add-on hook keeper so to speak and
it comes in the form of little silicon rubber bands I
believe they're used
As a hair tying product you can find them at CVS at Walgreens
Probably on Amazon - and
Nick should put the link in the description below
Anyway there. They are they come in many different colors and
They hold up nicely
They're not a hundred percent foolproof
You know I do replace them a couple of times throughout the day depending on the bite, but
They work, surprisingly well
So it goes over
The eye of the jig and then over the back of the hook and as you can see it exerts pressure
Towards the front of the jig holding your soft plastic in place this case that's a five inch gulp mullet
which
To me is the best all-around
size for summer flounder
and
Yeah
I've been doing this for a few years now. I introduced it to a few people and they seem to
Really like how it works
so here's part two of
The SPRO jig tip a lot of times your tail gets bitten off
when that happens I
carry a few of these
spinner blades
This is basically I think a number one or number two
with a leaf blade you can go a lot bigger especially if you're in a shallow water and
I attached a owner
centering pin spring
Any screw lock type deal will work the owner just?
Takes the guessing game out of it, and you just screw it on to the back of
the grub so now you still have
the gulp body that gives off the scent, which fluke responds to I
Mean you have something shiny spinning around
Especially on the fall, and you'll see that in a second
You know there were days where I was ripping the tail off
And just putting this on especially when they're on peanut bunker
later on in the season, it's just
Especially when it's sunny and you have relatively clear water. They really respond to the flash
Will see it briefly in action in the pool
And if you'll notice if you give a complete slack the blade
swims and rotates nicely on the fall
And if you go to my single jig fuking video you can see the rod action
You basically pop the jig on slack line
And you let it fall on slack line that gives it
The best action it gives it the most triggering action
You know the lighter jig you use the higher the arc you can put on it when you pop it through the water column and
The longer duration of the fall you can achieve and the fall is where fish will hit your jig
all right, so I hope that was helpful and
