Imagin filleting upto the butthole removing the backbone with tail so you have half the fish whole and half just the 2 side fillets then the 2 flaps create the movement to excite the intended target. Is this how you see it? Yeah you are on the right track but it is filleted right to the shoulder so...

I used to have a lot of success in Townsville on the Spaniards using split tail mullet. I don't have a video but I can try and describe it. 1.
