My trusty Apex lure let me down today
#18
It requires almost a "paint drying" speed or a flatfish will roll instead of wobbling. You can use a bottom bouncer, an inline trolling weight, a drift sinker, or a three-way swivel and sinker, followed by a shortish leader of about three feet. That allows the flatfish to run just a bit higher than the weight.

You want a wide, slow wobble, not a tight wiggle. In lieu of a flatfish, you can also use a shallow-running jointed minnow lure like a jointed Rapala or a classic like a Heddon Tadpolly. I drape half a crawler on two barbs of the flatfish treble, letting the two ends dangle.

You can run this rig bumping bottom or up higher when fish are suspended.
