Re: Fluke Teasers?
I use figure 8 knots, both on the teaser and on the bottom for the bucktail.

Re: Fluke Teasers?
two ounce bucktail tipped with swimming mullet, 12-18 inches above I tie a dropper loop with the 1/4 ounce bucktail already in the loop. Tip that with swimming mullet. I cast upcurrent and twitch my wrist almost dragging the bottom spro and getting the action i want on the teaser. We all know I tend to loose rigs in the rocks this way, but it works VERY well in the bay.
The key to tying the dropper loop is keeping some pressure on the loop while pulling the ends.

Re: Fluke Teasers?
Shrimpman, you're right. And if you're tying it with mono for fluorocarbon, just give it a little push and it should tighten up more.

Re: Fluke Teasers?
I use a dropper loop 12 - 18 inches above with a red gami 4/0 up top either with a skirt , bait, new penny shrimpies or swimming mullets - also throw on the 1/4 to 3/4 spro-like teaser on the top. Color or bait of choice on the teaser depends on what is working for me that day/area/week/tide/depth you get the idea.
When I make the dropper loop I pull the loop while sliding the ends of the knot and push towrds the middle were they meet for a snug fit (just like the shrimpman posted) - if that makes any sense to anyone but me??? Dano thank you for that link kiwi dropper loop looks awsome and will give it a try this year . Good luck this year everyone Gdubya-Out hopefully in 4 or 6 weeks -

Re: Fluke Teasers?
I've had trouble in the past trying to get a small 2oz bucktail or a 3/0 Gami on a 40-50# dropper loop. I like to go this heavy so the dropper sticks out straight and doesnt foul the main line. Any recomendations other than bringing down the rig test? I know some have used tubing on the lighter test to keep it more horizontal for bottom dwellers, could this be an option as well for fluke?
Has anyone tried tying the dropper with the hook already threaded through it? Imagine that's prob not too complicated may even help pull the loop through the twists but will the hook slide up and down the loop and not present the bait/teaser as needed? Another option is to go the three-way swivel route and then snell the hook...but with more terminal tackle chances for tangles and fouling increase Trial and error I guess, fish what works for you but you wont know unless you try different things...just look at Chaz Bono http://www.samesame.com.au/news/inte...o-is-a-man.htm

Re: Fluke Teasers?
I know a few that fish heavy mono and will cut the dropper loop on one side and then tie the teaser onto the strand. Haven't heard any of them complain that the line broke or slipped.
