ChasingTales Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 I hate them but there are times they are needed. When I do use them it's on a barrel swivel with the lure line and teaser line tied to the same eye. I dislike dropper loops I feel they break to easy. What type of teaser do you use and what size hook ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Richard Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 I've been catching most of my fish this fall on epoxy sand eels I got here from Buzfly. He has his own site now. I use dropper loops in 50 pound Ande leader material and never had one fail. Just inspect the end of the loop at the hook eye frequently. The pic is of one of the teasers in "schoolbus". Oh, and it's on a 2/0 hook. SOL member #17 LIBBA #2310 "I come in peace, I didn't bring artillery.

YakDawg Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 If I use a teaser its usually a Red Gill either black or pearl white. I have it tied to 6" of leader with a loop on the end so I can add or remove it from the barrel swivel depending on the situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanonyc Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 I have to try the dropper loop. Tying to the same barrel swivel as my leader has been a disaster on tangles. I know the teasers catch even though the small amount of time I've used them I haven't. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjmax Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 Many threads on teaser setup, i think tried most suggested methods. only one that didnt tangle was dropper loop 4-5", but cut at one end and just uni knot to teaser, might try loop at end m12d78 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjmax Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 M12d78 was kind of sending me some of his own tied teasers when first started using them and caught plenty on them. Â Interested in what else people use as teasers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msonn164 Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 Never fished with teasers before. Going to give it a shot. How far up the leader from the lure should I tie the teaser? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msonn164 Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 What kind of lures are you guys throwing teasers with? Diamond jigs.. Bottle plugs.. Bucktails.. Can I throw them with anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Richard Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 What kind of lures are you guys throwing teasers with? Diamond jigs.. Bottle plugs.. Bucktails.. Can I throw them with anything? Anything. I've even used an Ava27 at night when I had a 20MPH wind in my face and it was the only thing I could cast 50 yds. Caught on the teaser. I've used them with SP Minnows and Bombers, darters and bottles, SS Little Neck Poppers, tins, etc SOL member #17 LIBBA #2310 "I come in peace, I didn't bring artillery.

kjmax Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 Only can tell you what I do, and im only a beginner. teasers on everything at night. Â As soon as sun comes up i change leader with no dropped loop to use pencils. only because im scared all the tension using pencil might break off at the dropper loop.

Chris Richard Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 Never fished with teasers before. Going to give it a shot. How far up the leader from the lure should I tie the teaser? I start with a 52" length of 50lb test Ande leader material. I try to center the loop 9-10" from one end. After the knot is tightened, I trim the short end to 9" from the center of the knot and the long end 27". After the improved clinches for the snap and swivel, I end up with a 33" leader, with the dropper loop 7-8" from the swivel and two feet in front of the snap. With a 3" loop and 4-5" teaser, the lure ends up about 18" behind the teaser. I've found this to be a nice distance. SOL member #17 LIBBA #2310 "I come in peace, I didn't bring artillery.

Â Â Rather than tie direct to the barrel which I agree causes tangles try tying a loop such as the perfection loop at the teaser end and then thread it thru the lower barrel eye and when pulled tight you'll find it holds away from the main line causing less tangles.

What type of teaser do you use and what size hook ? This is how I tie my teaser.  I use Alberto knot to connect my braid with the leader. When tying the Alberto knot, I don't cut the other end, instead tie a teaser to it. I have attached a picture for reference. This technique has worked for me without failure so far....

msonn164 Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 That's a pretty good idea I'll try it out! That's how I connect my leader to braid now anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
