 Riptide Mullet
rigged with the CopperHead™ hook. Note how the hook is on the side of the bait for maximum penetration speed. This also allows the bait to fall in a turn. This rig is particularly effective
around Mangroves and on the flats. Tip: use a very slight twitch with a s-l-o-w retrieve.
RipTide Mullet User Guidelines . . . Captain Stuart Guthrie
I find that when fishing in the flats and also in deep holes and off
ledges, the RipTide Mullet works best when rigged on a RipTide Pro Jig and twitched in a slow but steady, up and down motion in a lift... drop, lift... drop manner. Most of the time the fish will hit the bait on the drop so hang on. Captain David Rogers
The Rip Tide Mullet is one of my favorite, all-purpose, baits. I rig it
on a 1/8 oz. jig head and work it around sand holes on the flats. I also use it in deeper water for trout. The bait is very versatile. It can be used for both jigging and swimming. I catch more trout with the RipTide Mullet than I do with live shrimp. Captain William Etheredge
Dense vegetation on the flats can wreak havoc on exposed hooks.
The Rip Tide Mullet can be rigged Texas style with a 3/0 or 4/0 extra wide gap hook for snag free fishing. I prefer to present this bait without a bullet weight. However, if long casts are required or if the wind is up, add a 1/8 or ¼ oz. bullet weight. Click here for more
