Anglers without access to live bait often resort to dead shrimp and strips of squid. Because you are using the weight of the jig instead of a second heavier weight the flounder can be detected easier even when the bit subtle.įlounder feed on a variety of baits including shrimp, pinfish, finger mullet and other small baitfish. This is a more natural schooling presentation that flounder are expecting. Because each jig is tied to a separate length of line they swim separately, with the lower heavier jig often drifting behind the first. Plus, the weight being under the rig caused it to drop straighter and can make detecting the light bite difficult. Even if there are tag lines of varying lengths the baits suspend more or less one on top of the other. Other rigs present the baits in a near vertical position. What makes this jig so much better than the others out there? Simple, the action. This rig could not be easier to tie and can be prepared ahead of time or as needed: ![]() 2 jigs, jig #2 slightly heavier than the other.The best flounder rig is also one of the simplest. These rigs work and have been catching flounder for years, but that does not mean they are the best. Others add tubes for color, feathers or hair for action and various size hooks, but the basic design is the same. Some are pretty straight forward and probably include a couple hooks on a high/low rig – loop at top for connecting to swivel and clip at the opposite end to attach weight. Walk into any tackle shop and you are sure to find an assortment of flounder rigs. But, having the best rig will allow you to stop hoping for a bite and let you start landing fish. Basically, as long as you have your bait on the bottom you are bound to eventually catch fish. Filling your cooler with keepers takes a little bit of skill, a lot of luck and most importantly the right rig. Almost anyone can fish for flounder but there is a difference between fishing for and catching flounder. ![]()
