I hear often of teasers. What does a teaser rig look like? and are they better? I usually buy the fluke rigs sold every where and throw killie/squid on it. I want to try the jig 3-4oz spro with a cut strip or gulp (something) on it. Not sure if thats how you guys use the jigs.

I usually buy the fluke rigs sold every where and throw killie/squid on it. I want to try the jig 3-4oz spro with a cut strip or gulp (something) on it. Not sure if thats how you guys use the jigs. all you do is put a spro off one of the sides of the swivel, approx 2 feet of leader. Then tie a since blank hook on the other side of the swivel. Make that leader only 1 foot. On that hook but a gulp bait. On the spro but a large strip bait.
To add a teaser to the above rig is very simple. Tie in a 2" dropper loop about 14"s above the snelled hook. I'll then take a small duo-lock snap, open both ends of it & secure the smaller end on to the dropper loop, to the larger end of the snap I'll place what ever teaser I plan on using & close the snap. The snap allows you to A:easily change teasers and B: makes it easier to get the teaser out of the net if it becomes entangled in it.QuoteI use this same rig except I dont use the snap.. I just thread the loop the the eye and around.. I was thinking of adding a snap but thought maybe the metal may affect the bite.. I guess it doesnt..

Hmm I thought you had a fish finder rig on??

What do you consider shallow water fishing for Fluke. My thoughts are 30' or less. If I fish deeper water, then I use a single hook with a heavy weight instead of the jig head.

Hi Nick,I agree about 30 ft. However, I still try to use the three way rigs if in the sand.I find that if I am fishing deeper than 30 ft., I am usually around structure.If I fished in "no hang zones" I would use the three way swivel almost exclusively.To anyone that asked or wondered ... if you cast with this setup, it is a high probablility that it will foul.Also, if I am using it near structure with a weight instead of a SPRO, I use 6 lb. test line to snap the weight off if it gets snagger. The more the rig is in the water, the more time catching. I see too many people wasting too much time trying to save termianl tackle. BTW, it would be a good topic to start about how to "un-snag" yourself or even how to break off a line that is snagged, especially with braid.Thanks,Ed
