Fluke Teasers?
 

I just read an article on using teasers while fishing for fluke. I usually just use a bare Gami hook covered with a Gulp swimming mullet about 18" above my bucktail. I would say about 80% of what I catch is on the teaser. One friend I was talking to yesterday says he uses the bigger Gulp baits on his teaser and catches bigger fish on the teaser.

I was just wondering what everyone else does? Plain, small baits, big baits, feathers?

The jerkshad and 6" swimmin mullet produces bigger fish at times. Also 4" shrimp in new penny is always with me. I can't wait . Just a little while longer :D

6" Gulp grub with a tinsel teaser on a 6/0 gama baitholder, deadly....:D

Re: Fluke Teasers?
 

I use all that as already been mentioned.

I also like using a clouser minnow with either a 1/0 or 2/0 hook tipped with a spearing.

New penny scrimps.... ALWAYS !

I normally don't use teasers, but I do use the Gulp swimming mullets all the time, and usually out-fish almost everyone else on the boat. Mostly shorts, though, and lots of robins mixed in. Seems like it's more of a numbers tactic.

More importantly........

How do you tie your teasers on???

a seperate line from a swivel?
a drooper loop?
a figure 8 loop?

Anyone have issues with breakage @ that teaser connection?

Re: Fluke Teasers?
 

Dropper loop...no problems with tangling the main leader.

I am probably one of the worst knot tyers around. (Never got my Boy Scout merit badge) If I have time I make up rigs before hand and use a droppor loop for the teaser hook. After I use my dozen or so made up rigs I then just get frustrated and tie a double overhand knot with a loop in it. (This probably costs me more rigs!)

Biggest problem I have is with the small eye on the Gami ooks. I have started to switch over to Owner hooks for that reason.

Try this knot call the KIWI Dropper Loop - retains about 90 percent of line strength VS. the 50 - 60 that the conventional dropper loop is. Try it a few times and you will see that it's really quite easy.
