Interesting. All I’ve ever done is a basic dropper loop 12-18” above the bucktail. Do you change leader length according to water depth or just a experiment to see what works that particular day?

Any specific knot for the dropper? Something to keep it stand off the main line like a Grand Banks knot?
I tie a three turn dropper 12-14” above my bucktail .
Teaser is a snelled 8/0 on approx 20” of leader with a surgeons loop on the opposite end .
Run dropper through surgeons knot and drop hook through dropper so they look like a hand shake knot (figure 8)
.
Leader length can change depending on drift speed .

You can feel the bucktail better because of the way the teaser comes off the main line .
It also gives you more action on the teaser
