Hey mate. Just out of interest I had a look what's happening in Holland regarding bait used for Flounder and the like. The rig most anglers use is a sliding rig and they all use the long row of beads like you do (up to 12 !!). What I found interesting was that they never use a single bait. They make kind of cocktails with beach worms, squid and soft crab. No idea whether it works or not but you might want to have a try. Teach me how to upload a photo and I will. Very popular fish over there so they take it very serious by the sound of it.
