Tide Rite R554 Fluke Drift Rig | 30 lb Mono Leader

Three-Way Drift Rig for Fluke

The Tide Rite R554 Fluke Rig is a hand-tied three-way drift rig designed for fluke, also called summer flounder. It features a single gold wide-gap “English Hook” snelled to approximately 40 inches of 30 lb monofilament leader.

A three-way swivel connects the leader and main line, with a sinker snap for changing your weight. This simple layout lets you adjust sinker weight as depth and current change without replacing the entire rig.

Key Features

• Hand-tied fluke drift rig.
• Single gold wide-gap “English Hook.”
• Snelled hook connection.
• Approximately 40-inch, 30 lb monofilament leader.
• Three-way swivel with sinker snap.

How to Fish It

Attach your main line to the intended swivel connection and a compatible sinker to the snap. Select enough weight to maintain controlled bottom contact during your drift without dragging heavily through snag-prone cover. Sinker inclusion is not specified in the source description.

Rig your chosen bait on the wide-gap hook, leaving the point and gap clear. Lower the rig under control, then work it with gentle lifts and pauses as you drift. Adjust sinker weight or drift when the line angle makes bottom contact difficult, and check the leader, knot, and snap between drifts.
