Uncle Mo’s Tackle Fluke Hi-Lo Bucktail Rig – White Mylar Teaser, 3/0 Octopus

Overview

The Uncle Mo’s Tackle Fluke Hi-Lo Bucktail Rig is a purpose-built saltwater setup designed to present two baits at once: a bottom bait and an above-lying teaser. The white Mylar bucktail increases visibility in varying light and water color, while a sturdy 3/0 black offset octopus hook pairs with a 30 lb mono leader for confident track and hookup. This rig blends traditional know-how with practical components to support everyday offshore and inshore magazine-worthy catches.

Two baits in the strike zone can be a smart tactic in deeper water where fluke and other bottom dwellers tend to hold. The high-low design is especially productive in depths up to 150 feet, providing a chance to entice more than one fish per drift. The setup is crafted to keep fishing actions continuous even after a bite, so you can maintain pressure without re-baiting every time the line ticks or drums go slack.

With over 35 years of experience in fluke and sea bass rigs, Uncle Mo’s Tackle emphasizes reliable knots, premium materials, and hands-on construction. The result is a rig that can handle solid hits while maintaining smooth action on the bottom, from the first cast to the last retrieve of the day.

How to Use

Cast toward structure, wrecks, or likely bottom habitats and maintain a steady, controlled drift. The teaser above adds enticing movement, while the bottom bait remains within the strike zone. This setup supports a range of water conditions and can be effective across shallow to deep flats, as well as offshore structure when visibility and current align.

Key Benefits and Possibilities

• Two-bait presentation increases get-at-bites opportunities during a single drift
• Effective in depths up to 150 feet for deeper water targeting
• Durable, premium components and reliable knots designed for repeated use
• White Mylar bucktail increases plume and visibility in dim or turbid water

Note that results depend on conditions, technique, and local fish behavior. This rig is built to offer versatility and dependable performance based on established Northeast tactics and deep-water belief in two-bait efficiency.
