Like its sister rig, the three hook flapper, this rig gets it's name simply because it presents the bait on two hooks which flap around. This is a simple rig to make and gives you two shots with each cast.. The two hook flapper enables longer hook snood lengths, than its sister rig. This rig does not lend itself to distance casting as the bait is "Flapping Around" as the rig fly's through the air, reducing distance and damaging the bait. However the rig is ideal for fishing of Piers and Jetty's where you can experiment with two different baits at two different depths.
