.
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
.

This makes a lot of sense to me... Look out Flukes, I got some new tricks up my sleave this year. Thanks Dan!!

I use 20 pound braid tied to 12’ of 50# with a Pr knot .
Same 50# for the teaser .
It doesn’t helicopter as easily if a bait gets twisted , and hold up better to nicks around the ruff stuff

Good stuff....thanks guys
