Hahahaha, nope. I don't think a sinker will attract as well as a bucktail. Besides sinkers don't have hooks (just in case the fish likes that one better)

I just meant sometimes I think the bottom bucktail is the actual teaser and the smaller upper jig is the actual lure. I know, I know...I'm crazy.

Big Fish.........Big Bait

you'll get your share of NICE fish on the teasers AND the fight seems to be better on them too............

Ron good post, whether its a teaser or plastic I think the idea is good. Many surf guys claim that a lot of times the teaser outfishes the main hook.

There's several methods of adding a teaser. Keep in mind some offer quick change others do not! Simplest for me is to go the dropper knot loop route. When tying the DL simply go at least 5 turns inside loop, when tightening keep slight presssure on loop pulling out and away from turns. This alows a solid bite and prevents knot slippage which can occur w/o this loop pressure.
Quick change applications simply pre sneell your teaser and put a perfection loop in a short length of this snelled mono. Now install with a loop to loop application. This method it's best to pre snell your teasers and wahla you can change in a hurry! I've also found that the teaser catches better on this slightly longer ld. This eliminasted the worry over ld size to fit thru doublred drooper loop mono. This can also be accomplished by looping in a swivel via your original loop knot. Simply add the swivel to ld " prior" to forming loop,this also allows for QC .
I also use a hevier mono on the TS end while all my teasers are of lighter material. Example 30# TS installed on braid ,while teaser snelled w/ 20# mono. This allows the heavier TS material to hold the lighter teasrer material out away from rig.
Non change simple double or triple a surgeons,knot your teaser anywhere on your TS ,this application I use stiffer teaser mono to hold away from rig. The axis of the mono is is always up to to better hold teaser out & away fromTS.

Not the last time I checked. Although there was someone who did just that but damned if I can find the picture. It was a classic.

I like to fish a big chrome ball with no hook as my weight and put 4 or 5 dropper loops spaced 6" apart. I then put 1/2 ounce mylar bucktail jigs on the dropper baited with yellow pork rind strips or Gulp new penny shrimp.

Sometimes if the drift is really fast I replace the chrome ball with a heavy krockodile type jig. The ones with the blue prism tape have worked well for me.

So you're fishing a 5 hook fluke rig essentially? Please tell me this is from a private boat...
