9" Squid bodies are too big.
I recommend 4" or 6" for Fluke.

Used 9" in the past.
it will work, fluke are way more aggressive than most people realize...
I usually just use a 3-way swivel, 50lb leader, and a large kahle hook; no spinners, skirts etc.. just a big bait, while squid, fluke belly etc.. |

Bryan, what do recommend for leader length? It seems like alot of people overanalyze fluke rigs with beads, spinners, etc. They are aggressive feeders. I will have to try some whole squid this year...

36-40" Leaders
I also like a Hi-Lo Rig for Fluke.
Tie a dropper loop about 10" above your sinker and anothe one 2' above your sinker.
Remember, Fluke see better a bit above them than directly in front of them. |

The 9" Squids are very large. Tsunami, B2 etc.
I know Fluke are aggressive feeders.
I have never tried 9' for my rigs, but I will.  |
