i have several rattle traps, but they dont sink fast enough for deeper water, at least for my tastes. im sure they would work though....i'm kind of leaning towards either a 4" white or white/chart. tube, or a 4-5" fluke on a half ounce head, probably with a 4/0 hook. Is the 4/0 hook long enough to fish a fluke, since some of the length of the hook will be taken up by the jig head?
