Bouncing Spros will be the only method I use for fluking fishing. Along with a teaser tied up about 14" from the Spro. Spro tiped with gulp swimming mullet, white or char.

In addition to Spro's, I have used the Fluke-Rat jig with success.  They are different in that they are similar to a fluke ball, but have a different shaped head and a swinging hook, which imparts a bit of action.

Don't have a picture, but here is the website.

Nice find  t^

You fishing them the same as a Spro?

Have you fished them in the deep yet?. I see they only go up to 4 ounces & there are times when I need 6

I use much shorter rod action because of the swinging tail.  I fish with a guy who only uses these, and only moves his jig with very slight jigging motions keeping it on the bottom. Last summer he nailed a 10 lber with a 2 oz Fluke Rat tipped with a single spearing in the Reach channel.  You can also replace the swinging bucktail with  a leader of 4 to 6" add a sharp owner or gami hook tipped with a curly grub, spearing,squid, etc....so many ways to fish a bucktail.

In deeper water with fast current, I keep my conventional reel un-engaged and backslide to keep it on the bottom.  Too much current, I go to a heavier spro or on rare occasions I use an 8 oz Mai Tai.
