Scott had some at Jerry's a week ago. I make my own with a worm hook, a hitch-hiker, and a DOA pinch weight.

Look like a Diachi (Sp) worm hook with a weight between the eye and the hook..Basically a worm hook with a weight in the middle

BPS has them.
The ones I have used had some jagged edges from the casting flash. If you polish them up a little with some fine emery cloth they won't tear up your baits nearly as bad. :thumbup:

Flutters were okay, power pro kept knotting up on me, wind was howling and I missed two fish....Need more in depth study :-D

The pinfish in St. Andrew bay must be a large mouth strain...I made five casts and changed five flukes..Because they bite it in half :o ..Some bad dudes

The man stopped by to see me too, asked how I was doing and left :smt017 ...Must not of seen my jawja plates :wink: :lol:

He probably saw your jawja plates, and asumed you had no clue what you were doing. :-D :wink:

What is the purpose of "flutters" ?
It seems to be like a small jig head.

It supposingly makes the lure stay parallel with the bottom and sink..where a jig head makes the lure dive head first to the bottom...

You also rig them "Texposer" style so they are weedless.
