Are you fishing from a pier, from the shore, or in a deeper channel?

When do flatfish rigs work best?

Flatfish rigs shine when fish are hugging the bottom, especially in sandy or muddy areas where flounder hunt for worms and small crustaceans.
They’re a great choice in calm to moderate conditions, when you want to keep your bait right where the fish feeds.

From shore, longer casts often help you reach deeper edges.
From a pier, you can fish more vertically and keep the rig in the strike zone.

How to choose the right flatfish rig

Start with where you fish, for longer casts choose a rig that stays tangle-free and handles heavier sinkers.
If the current is stronger, a bit more weight keeps the bait pinned to the bottom and stops the rig drifting.

Hook size matters too, larger baits and bigger flounder call for a slightly bigger hook, smaller baits work better with smaller hooks.
At Jahikala you can compare a wide selection at the best prices and pick the best value rigs for your local spots.
