Fluke on a Bobber?! Single Jig vs Jerkbait vs Bobber Rig for Flounder

The Dart 79 MDF is back in stock, get yours at https://cookingandfishing.com/

This mid summer doldrums trip saw me throwing the light single jig, jerkbaits, and a silly bobber rig for fluke. Will we ever outgrow watching a bobber get pulled under? Probably not :)

Dart 79 MDF Jerkbaits are custom painted in America, using all Decoy Japan hardware - this jerkbait is designed for fluke fishing from the ground up, and is ready to fish out of the box: NO modifications necessary.
