Thanks guys. They had a a good bite going. I noticed something you might want to pass along. The instructions that comes along with the Imposter Jig states to tie it off from the tail of the jig. He had tied off from the head. But he still caught so who knows. I would ASS-ume that the “fluttering” action on the down may work better tied from the tail.
Having said that I can relate a story from a summer Fluke trip that occurred on Lep's boat 2 years ago. On days when the bucktail loss is just too great due to the extremely sticky areas he fishes, or when drift speed is too fast, we often switch over to a more traditional sinker and dropper loop rig to minimize the expensive losses. Traditionally we attach the sinker to the bottom loop and a standard hook for a Gulp bait, perhaps sweetened with something fresh, on the dropper about 12 " above. While the other crew using this set up caught some Fluke, one fellow just to be different switched things around placing the sinker in the dropper loop position and the hook on the standard sinker loop. Darned if he didn't out fish the others aboard by a significant amount.
It is very hard to get Pete to adapt any new technique unless he is convinced it will work. To this day he now has a supply of these "special" rigs aboard. One of the great mysteries of fishing is how just a seemingly small change in presentation can improve your results! It also speaks to the need to experiment...or just be real lucky!!!
