Been fishing that for about 8yrs now. Think I saw it on an old Woo Daves video.

Also called the 'double fluke' . . . most fish will hit the trailing bait. Also experiment with hooking the fluke point side down instead of coming out the back.

Double Zulu is what I saw it was called. Doug Strange of In Fishermen did a segment on this several years ago

Would you do this on both flukes?

This might be a stupid question but do you have to only fish it topwater? Can you put some weights on and drop it down?

You want the front bait to nip at the surface from time to time so I don't weight it. On the trailing bait I use a hook lightly weighted near the front of the hook. No hard and fast rules on rigging, just fiddle with it. If the fluke helicopters then rig it upside down so the hook protrudes out the belly. I make the front leader half as long as the trailing (maybe 6" on the front and 12" on the back). Again, experiment. You won't be disappointed.
