The rod and reel combo used for
fluke fishing features a
Shimano
Calcutta 400s reel on a
6'6"
Teramar conventional rod rated for 12-15lb (model TMC66MH).
This is a very versatile conventional outfit and is perfect for
working light sinkers on the bottom. This rig is also perfect
for many light tackle fluke sinker bouncing and bucktail applications.
The reel was load with
20lb Berkley Big
Game Braid which was attached to a 3ft length of
30# Yo-Zuri
Disappearing Pink Fluorocarbon leader using a
#10 Mustad
Rolling Swivel. The small profile of the swivel virtually
eliminates any chance of picking up debris.
The rig was completed with two
2/0 Mustad
Ultrapoint Beak Baitholder Hooks and a bank sinker ranging from
1-2oz.
The new
Berkley Gulp
Chum was used and was incredibly effective. It did not have
to be changed all day and after fishing it was put back in the bucket
for recharging. The ware was very cold and the fish were
sluggish.
Mustad Activate Spray was used on all the baits to ensure that the
flounder bit.
