so I just bought a pack of these to catch some fluke this year and I was wondering if anyone else out there uses these and if they are good. What hook size do you use with them? I bought the 3 inch squid. Any help would be great.

I have not used those nor I have ever seen anyone use those. I usually just stick to the swimming minnow Gulp for fluke.

Not that brand, but have used the small plastic squids. Jensen had them for awhile. I think they're used more on the west coast, but I still have some and will use them. I've used other Tsunami plastics & hard lures ad have caught fish on them. They're no worse or better than any other brand IMO. Give them a try & see how they do! :fishing:

Yeah I think I'm going to use these as a teaser on my fluke rugs just have to use the right hook and bait combo.

My dad swears by those little squid plastics on his fluke rigs. I've always seen him catch fish. For me I just use a bare hook or a yellow buck tail skirt. I don't think it matters that much if your bait is fresh. Not sure what size hook he uses with them.

Do a Google image search for "plastic squid rigs for flounder" and you'll see all types of rigs used with the squids. I usually go with a jig head when using plastics, and also like the bucktail teaser type rigs with a 2/0 or 3/0 Kahle hook otherwise. I'll try different color bucktail rigs, but most often go with white.

Shore bound or on a boat? Iv seeen something like this used before. To me the best way to fish them is from a boat. Rig them up on a flounder rig using a 4/0 kale hook, slide the squid on and three plastic beads then a clevis with a spinner blade and another plastic bead. Make your rig any where from 36to 40 inches long. Shorten it up to about a forearms length if fished from the shore. Hope this helps some.
