JonnyKim Posted August 4, 2020 Report Share Posted August 4, 2020 I am a college engineering student so I really like making things rather than spending money on them as money is tight at the moment. i was wondering if anyone had any ideas on how to make teasers that go on the popular bucktail rigs when fishing for flounder. I know people make their own bucktails but is there a way to make the teasers that go on the second hook? Thank you all for any ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kml Posted August 4, 2020 Report Share Posted August 4, 2020 Do you mean like a baitfish imitation that is tied in as a dropper about two feet above the bucktail jig? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suave Posted August 4, 2020 Report Share Posted August 4, 2020 Google "teaser flies for flounder fishing" (I just did) and you'll have at least one video showing you how. Can't help you more as I've never used nor tied teaser flies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyKim Posted August 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2020 I actually think they are called bucktail teasers. They have the hairlike things on them like bucktails they just don't have any weight. I thought that was the most popular rig that is used for fluke fishing. that is what it seems like online i could be wrong though. it has the bucktail on the bottom and then a little higher there is another hook that you put a bucktail teaser on. Is this not a common rig setup for fluke. i am fairly new to tying my own rigs. i used to just use the rentals rod they gave you on party boats.

I finally started tying this winter and need to get some flounder teasers tied up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saltydogfishing Posted March 17, 2021 Report Share Posted March 17, 2021 Thanks so much for the compliment. They are 3/0 mustad octopus hooks. They work great. Have caught some really nice fluke on them over a bucktale. (*member formerly known as 'Davidianfishing') Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have caught some really nice fluke on them over a bucktale. No problem they look very well tied. I just bought a solarez roadie kit to see if I like working with the resin. Is it easy to build the heads up like that? Km assuming you use the thick glue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saltydogfishing Posted March 17, 2021 Report Share Posted March 17, 2021 It can be a pain to build the head. I initially tie the teaser with D-thread to build the bulk of the head then 210 denier to finish. tristate 1 (*member formerly known as 'Davidianfishing') Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is ironic looking back at how many people get into fly tying to save money. Even my wife knows I’m not saving money. She sees it as a harmless addiction that keeps me out of trouble. Best wishes in your search for teaser patterns. You might Google bait fish patterns or attractor patterns. Don’t be surprised if you can’t retire early on the money you saved.
